Just finished making my first belt using some scrap water buffalo. I wet molded around buckle to make nice and tight, but the segma snaps are killin me. I'm gonna go with the Chicago screws. As always thank you for the EXCELLENT video training.

And Corter Leather with the actual template measurements! Gosh those are so hard to find, thank you!

I ordered this wallet *amzaccs* , and it feels great when I get it! The leather feels very comfortable, the stitching is very neat, and you can feel the care in the details. I like it!

As usual, a clear and straightforward tutorial. Love your tutorials!

How do you determine the length? Where does that center hole go in relation to the waist size of the person you are measuring?

[gonzagac]

Does chicago screw needs to be the exact thickness of the leather when folded or they need to come down smaller in height. Thanks

I randomly found your YT channel, but I'm so glad i did. Just ordered 3 belts from your shop 👌🏻

Always put lock tight on your Chicago screws...I learned the hard way lol custom after custom losing them cause they come loose

[Grimhof]

This will help me since there are no leather shops where I live. Keep up the good work!

[mikemcnice]

I would probably use a separate thinner piece of leather to hold down the buckle, with a stitch right behind it. This would eliminate the bulk made after bending such a thick belt. Great vid, thanks!

[Msheather]

What about putting some stitches close to the latch to make it tighter? Would that work?

[suz-d]

chicago screws weren't on your supply list in the link. Can you please share what length of screws you used with this ounce leather belt (1/2", 1/4", 3/8", 5/8")? Thanks in advance.

Yes exactly I might want to do this but it may be cheaper but one at Walmart

[grimtt]

Somewhere I think I’ve heard rule of thumb that the keeper width should be half the width of the belt itself. Nice video! Thanks!

[JnJShiffler]

Any recommendation for a pattern download covering many belt widths and end holes for buckles?

[therocket]

thankyou verymuch .. i want to start my fetish wear and need some thing like this ... that really help me alot .

[edkovac]

Nice video, thanks. How do you protect your leather products? It seems like you just keep the leather without any finish.

You should make like a tactic type belt, like it can hold flashlights and small gear
