Customising an NXT North American Replica Belt

In this video I show some of the process in customising a WWE Shop NXT North American Replica Belt.
The belt replaces the standard wide leather strap with a much more traditional tighter leather cut around the plates. The strap does keep the tooling design on the bulk of the leather. It is finished in a bright burgundy leather colour just like the belt used on TV. This is a much richer colour than the dull brown of the replica straps.
Hoping to create higher quality and more in depth videos for you all in the future going forward so if you would like to please do support at / pmbelts

Love the design of the North American Championship but this custom strap is MUCH MUCH better. AMAZING work as always Paul!

[@retrokid562]

I love the thinner straps compared to the thicker one...and I commend you for putting your hard work into handcrafted straps!

[@elmaster6207]

The original has too much extra leather, I got to say it doesn't look that bad because of the color but this new custom one looks waaaay better.

[@SITH_CHAMP]

This Strap just fits the plates better,thanks Paul

[@lespaulpanhead025]

There’s something so satisfying and comforting about seeing a master like Paul work!

[@Johnnyversetti6969]

Masterpiece

[@r.m.809]

Awesome work.

[@davidhammon5423]

the thinner strap looks waaay better! awesome job my friend!

[@johnnyredd360]

I smiled after seeing that main plate being put on the leather

[@garyayers4060]

This is the way the belt should look now you did a great job

[@17bigchris]

Love these videos great to see the process. I like the wide leather on the North American Championship but this looks really nice to

[@MrDaddyGazz]

Fair play to ya mate you've come along way from ecwnumbawan wooden belts, I've had a few of your earlier re-leather jobs an back then your work was awesome, today your work just seem mind blowing..

[@Warrior316THFC]

Best leather guy in the world. Attention to detail is everything 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@WntrGrnSoldier38]

See, this is what the strap should've looked like from the start and I'll never understand why Trips or whomever settled on the fat strap. It worked for the NWA World Title but not this belt. 10/10

[@MalachiTheFallen]

This is such ASMR. I wish I could get one for my IC belt. Having no money sucks lol

[@scottwelsh7381]

I can't wait for my Crumrine, it's going to be the best thing I've got from you I'm sure

[@pardip_singh]

Outstanding work !!

[@thenightcorejunkie]

Amazing work but I have one question for you and don't know if you get asked this to you a whole lot but, will you ever do a video on re-leathering the universal and world heavyweight titles?

[@sdawsonsd11]

Love these belt making video find them very relaxing so much respect for the craft amazing work

[@jonnym7751]

[@MrDSWWDCFE]

[@elpresidente748]

[@marshallparsons8329]

[@Screwcharger85]

Wow ! Amazing work! I’ve admired the look of this belt since it’s debut and this is top notch . Definitely subscribing !

[@MathiasCTV]

Paul, do you use super shene or resolene as finish?

[@40Duce]

Amazing. I would love to see one with the tapered leather like that but in black, instead of black paint a blue painted globe & even though I know he wasn’t in NXT….. some custom P1 aj styles side plates.

[@Scro10m]

Hey do you have a discount code for this this strap?

[@brentamania89]

You always do awesome work you made the replica look a thousand times better it would be interesting if you did a video talking about how you got into doing this and how you learned everything just an idea if you did the video I'm not already I'll have to look

[@entengkabisote5025]

Way Better than the Original Belt ... i like the thinner version ..

[@caeert2962]

Excellent video, very relaxing to see how the process goes. Odd question, but are you going to do any talking videos again? I've missed your discussions on titles that hasn't been in your recent videos.

[@PITBULL783]

Paul I am an avid belt collector and long time fan of the artistry that goes into belt making. My fascination started as a kid with Reggie Parks and I’ve been following guys like you for years. I’d love to learn the craft and do this for a career. Any suggestions? How did you learn? Btw keep up the awesome work!! I love your videos

[@jairoescobar2932]

Truly amazing work sir..! Very impressed. Do you offer plate curving as well or just strap customizations.??

[@NYToyLegend21]

Beautiful Job!! What kind of material are you using for back cover of belt?

[@SithMaster26]

👍👍

[@YuGod23]

Been watching your channel for awhile now. I was very curious. Would you ever consider doing a leather strap for the Lucha Underground heavyweight championship?

[@jamesellis1990]

When will you have solid belt tips available for sale again?

[@WittedJewel00]

What liquid is that for the backing I’ve never seen it other than your videos I want a North American belt on your leather so bad

[@mattbrown7374]

Thats awesome! My only question is, is that paint you used some kind of spray on dye

[@PaulMartinBelts]

Its just regular leather dye airbrushed on. With coloured leathers certain colours apply on extremely unevenly when using a brush or sponge. For these colours they need to be slowly airbrushed on layer by layer to build up an even colour.

[@BluFire29]

Do you use a swivel knife to cut into the strap before you start tooling?

[@Sandro-1992]

Next one a custom thinner wwe penny tag team strap ?

[@just_a_guy3303]

I wanna say I love your belts I'm a fan. Ok now can you please cut some prices. The releather cost more then the belts. You are the reason why I wish to get the north American belt before wrestlemania. But im afraid it's just to much do you have a similar but less costing strap for the belt?

[@just_a_guy3303]

Let me say this real fast your work is amazing so yes we are paying for your time and craftsmanship so I apologize for my comment earlier. I understand why the prices are what they are. Thanks for the videos hopefully I can make something happen before wrestlemania

[@allenbarkley1767]

What is the white foamy stuff? That you wiped on after you spray painted the strap

[@Malefic13]

Are You can send one of those to Chile?, Huge fan of Your work

[@BluFire29]

De lo que yo vi, si los hace. En su sitio de web puedes ver los cueros que estan bajo “send out strap”. El es de Escocia y las manda a todo el mundo, pero hay un costo additional para mandarlo a otros paises.

[@coryn5487]

Awesome work Paul. Couple of questions, did you trace the old strap and then that’s what you’re using for the new strap? Also, was it better spraying the strap or rolling the paint on? Thanks.

[@BluFire29]

Hey man, I don’t know much about his method when it comes to the custom strap cut. Bud I do know that most of the time you want to dye the leather using a sponge or even a brush. But sometimes working with more vibrant colors, including the shade of red of this strap, the dye may look sloppy and dye darker in a lot if places running the look of the strap. That goes applies to everyone, beginners, experts and anyone in between. Si air brushing allows more even coats of dye. You just have to go over it more times. Hope this helps. Btw to see what I meant by a “sloppy look” just go look at the strap of the Universal Title when it first debuted and the red dye work on that.

[@coryn5487]

Hey Alex, thanks for all that info, I appreciate it.

[@jrodboyz]
