A buddy of mine had a Mexican style belt and buckle made that cost him almost 2k. It's a little too pricey for me, but my God, it's a beautiful belt and buckle. He's a white guy but he's from Texas and moved to California.

Funny you made the comment about the fingernail...I have a gnarled little finger and often when tooling, it drags the leather. I had to resort to putting a small piece of a latex glove on that finger and hold it with tape.

I see this video is from 2 years ago so I don't know if this will get to you. I have put a twist the same way as shown before seeing this, without trimming the inside leather, but trimming the inside stirrup leather sure helps the process. Thanks for the valuable tip.

Very nice haus. You have a very steady hand. Watching you cut was fun. Have you used many different colored threads? If so, was it by request? My daughter in law is getting a belt from me for Christmas. I know she likes blue, and was thinking of using blue thread. I know women like to match as best they can. Obviously, this may hinder her clothing options, just wondering from your experience please. Thank you. May I also inquire what type leather and Oz do you prefer to use as a backing? Thank you again.
@BMGeisler3 ай бұрын
I've done work with contrasting thread. I've found that unless you use a over-long stitch length and over-large thread, the color tends to get lost in the workpiece. As backing goes, I use 4oz latigo, but it's really up to personal preference.
@robertk-qn6mg3 ай бұрын
@BMGeisler ok, ty. Very helpful. Length of thread, sounds like it would almost subtract then. What would be an over size thread? (I'm the "5" year old asking why... lol.) How long would be a good length? Thank you.
@BMGeisler3 ай бұрын
@@robertk-qn6mg I typically sew belts at 6-8 stitches per inch with 207 thread. If I wanted a big contrast I'd go down to 4-5 stitches an inch and bump the thread up to 346. I'd also use a shallower than normal stitch groove.

This brings back so many memories of the time I tooled belts, handbags, Ranger belts and bullet holders. I drooled over your collection of tooling taps. I had to do the basket weave by hand! And learning the shaders and beaders drove me nuts! So tedious. I can still smell the hide glue. My mentor made me learn to sharpen the cutters before even touching a length of hide. And practice with the scrive knife... Well I won't go there. "Thinner, girl, thinner! And taper that right! I can remember all the blisters I got when I was burnishing the finished edges with a scrap of suede. I grinned when I saw you hand stitching with those double needles. Thank you for some great memories. I grinned through the whole video.☺
