[@nealmclain6316]

Do you have a video on making that particular belt

[@michaelkonig4752]

Unfortunately, you can't see the result of your efforts in any of the camera settings. Pity

[@Fernanderas2011]

Thank you for your time on teaching us, I just hope that I may take to 80.00 basic course, i wish I had the funds for more advanced stuff, but for crad holders, belts basics, is enough for me, since I have to start from cero.... I am a woodworker, but this craft is also very relaxing, many thank ...God Bless you greetings from Mexico

What is your machine rpm rating ? I’m looking at my options, and want to be sure I get the right one.

Wish I had seen this 5 years ago for the free shipping 😂🤣

I tried the gel, diluted 50/50 with water, three coats with several hours drying time in between. After drying, a certain stickiness remains even after several days. Resolene has the same problem. Have you had the same experience?

[@jayjohnson1440]

I think I need this in my life. Are you still offering Free shipping ?

[@shirleymalar304]

What is the 'gloss product' you are mixing with water to apply to the edges, and what is the ratio of that product to water? Thanks.

[@AldensSchoolofLeatherTrades]

It is "painters medium", it is an acrylic that artists mix with paints to make them thicker and add body. It is really strong and durable for edges. I don't have specific ratio, I just get it to look about like nonfat milk. If it is too thin it will take too many coats to get a good edge, if it is too thick it is hard to get it to apply evenly. But it's pretty forgiving and there is a lot of room in the middle where it works well.

What do you line your belts with?

[@AldensSchoolofLeatherTrades]

For my normal tooled belts I line them with a 2-3 oz veg tan with a 9-10 oz top. With the filigree belt in this video I used a 5 oz top with a 5 oz liner to give it more structure when has the pieces cut out.

Do you ever use beeswax on your edges? If so, why? And if not, why?

[@AldensSchoolofLeatherTrades]

ffscj I have used beeswax but just personally prefer the soap. Both will do a good job.
