How to Make a Leather Ranger Belt

In this project video, I show you how I make a leather ranger belt. This style of belt is popular and a little more involved than a standard style belt.
We will offer ranger billet material packs on our website as soon as the dies come in. When they do, I will add a link here to our store where you can purchase those.

Great instructional video! Now I have to make a ranger belt. Watching you tool that belt as though you were sketching pencil on paper was impressive. Thanks Don.

Beautiful work as always

Looks great. I do ranger belts with the Tandy 1 inch ranger buckle set. Measure thrice cut once. 😂

Great video.

I was wondering if you could link your safety scriber for us please? I have a decent beginner set and have one, yours just looks easier to work with. Please and thank you. You do great tooling and really enjoy watching your vids.

Don I may have missed it, but in addition to material packs, will you be offering a billet template and maybe some new belt patterns?

[@jackiemowery5243]

When you talk about a 3/4" strap are you talking about a strap for a 3/4" buckle (3/4" - 1/8" for clearance) or a strap 3/4" wide?

👍🏻 thx

[@jakepena6863]

Could you make a pattern what's measurements if you never made one before

[@TexHoss1]

Great video. Lots of good knowledge to glean on making a Ranger belt.

[@rickwhetstone4687]

What knife did you use to cut the billets

[@JohnTBlock]

Hey, Don - do you prefer a snap on the buckle billet, or do you think a rivet or a Chicago screw would be better?

[@pauleyedwin6056]

What glue are you using? Thanks great video.

[@susantipsyhealy7655]

Mmmm, I may have missed something, how long do we cut the billets?

[@87jstep]

9 and 14 inches

[@ChezChristine57]

🎉hello..where can i get a small round anvil like you have?

[@damesydneyleatherworksprie9136]

If they aren’t wearing a ranger belt and wants one, then how do we measure for that?

[@maddawgnoll]

I think it's more of what you cut rather than how to measure. You end the bottom strap at the bend of a normal belt (so about 3½" shorter than a regular belt blank) because of the way he attaches the buckle bullet. Hopefully, he'll correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I'm seeing with the way he's making it.

[@damesydneyleatherworksprie9136]

Thank you. Oh where do we get the billets templates? I’ve been dying to make one of these so thank you. I just couldn’t my head around it.

[@carlrockaway1696]

​@@damesydneyleatherworksprie9136me too, I've been wanting to get the template for this
