[@frankekl]

Great video with a lot of valuable info. Thanks for taking the time to do this video and share it!!!

[@dennismott4226]

I've been watching your page for awhile now. I think your really good. Each time I watch something you put on you have made a small but important thing come to full light. Looking forward to a lot more. Thanks

[@glenadams7706]

I love the way you explain yourself. Thank you!!!

[@russellgibson3345]

I found your videos informative . Learned a few things just starting with belts after 11 years of leather work.

[@readytostartshooting]

I like and hope you continue to do videos!! This one is very informative and was easy to watch!!

[@daniellc5160]

Most accurate video on this subject! Tks👍

[@dougwilliams7667]

Great job keep up the work your doing

[@randomblockofwood]

Fantastic video!!!!! So excited that you’re gonna go live in here instead of insta, I can’t always watch the videos within the 24 hour time frame!

[@amymaugs]

Amazing craftsmanship. Glad your videos popped up in my algorithm!

[@minerblue9641]

Very good video. Pretty good looking work. Good conversational instruction. Thanks.

[@TexHoss1]

Good video. And taking your time is a good advise to make to everyone. Still after a lot of years of leather work, every time I ever get in a hurry I manage to screw up & then I have to hide that screw up. And sometimes that screw up can't be hid.

[@chriskari]

Thanks for the video.

[@joemamma61]

Just got a cheap leather working kit today and had my first attempt at fooling around with the stamps. Not much luck but some of the tips and techniques you talked about will help me I think. Thanks

[@daviddavtyan6955]

Welcome and congratulations

[@jacquikellington791]

[@johnhoward3516]

Very nice work ! I have done more belts & knife sheath's over the years here in Chicagoland it seems ! Always like watching other people doing the same projects , and giving me better ways to give my customers the best I can accomplish ! Thanks for sharing your skills and how you go about making yours...reddoc custom leathers Chicago.

[@chrisnixon2179]

Excellent tutorial. Please make more

[@BMGeisler]

More to come!

[@lbdeuce]

great vid. thx

[@jayplays568]

Fantastic video, I love basket weave patterns! I am curious though, how would you typically finish a belt like this?

[@argentinooviedo3345]

Muy buena explicación desde Argentina

[@tubesound1408]

Получился белорусский народный узор! 😊

[@Ps2352]

It would be helpful to see close up on the tooling as you work.

[@nealmclain6316]

Thanks. Good video. Where did you get the diamond stamp

[@evelintt5]

Hi Ben. Thanks for the work. Tell us what kind of leather you work with. Is this a buffalo?, what kind of dressing? Thank you and good luck!

[@bluesmano5283]

Great video! P.S. I believe "Going into the Final (or Home) Stretch" typically refers to horse racing. 😛🐎

[@robertguy6620]

awesome video, what is the geometric tool you used?

[@badidea9128]

what size is the diaond stamp you are using? It looks like one Berry King makes.

[@user-ff3ks2ru9h]

Thank you for sendinding the info on the beader. I have contacted him and have purchaced a beader. One other question. What size hollow Diamond stamp do you use. Thanks for your help!

[@BMGeisler]

The sizing has changed since I bought mine, this one is 3/4" long.

[@eppie_the_dutchman2605]

Hello Ben, here's a question from the Netherlands... how do you get those beautiful deep lines in a belt?

[@user-tb1of5ni1v]

🇺🇸💪🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️

[@davegaziano6619]

How long do you soak your straps in water before you put it in the blanket?

[@BMGeisler]

Maybe 10 seconds? Not long.

[@billnewman8261]

Diamond Tool sold at Hobby Lobby.

[@BMGeisler]

Negative. This stamp is a stainless Barry King, a world of difference between the two.

[@michaelmatos1864]

Do you not see your layout line running down the middle of the belt after you stamp it?

[@BMGeisler]

If you scribe it lightly and glass it afterward, there’s no trace.

[@readytostartshooting]

Where can i get one of them glory line stamps from please sir?

[@BMGeisler]

Ellis Barnes made this one when he was alive, if you wanted one it would have to be custom made.

[@readytostartshooting]

@@BMGeisler what is the name of the tool. And im going to try to have one made. And thank you

[@BMGeisler]

@@readytostartshooting It's a triangle camouflage tool.

[@user-ff3ks2ru9h]

I would like to purchase the beader in your video Where could I find one?

[@BMGeisler]

Barry King tools.

[@kevincohn5862]

I thought your video was well done.was not sure how long that belt was in the refrigerator? For you to case.but nicely done. My tools are not the best but what I can afford again thanks.

[@BMGeisler]

I don't use the refrigerator unless something goes wrong with my planning. 9/10 times I wet leather the night before, wrap it in a wool blanket, and leave it on the countertop overnight.

[@johnmaguire2613]

I cannot find a hollow diamond tool anywhere Barry King never replies as he is sold out, what size is the one you use here, great tutorial very precise .

[@BMGeisler]

It used to be the #2, but they've got more sizes now. It's about 3/4" on the long side.

[@lbdeuce]

@@BMGeisler i believe 3/4" would be a number 4

[@BMGeisler]

@@lbdeuce Probably so. Back when I bought this diamond he only made two sizes.

[@tomhall4266]

I'm good at measuring. I've got a 12 inch member...or maybe thats 12 centimeters. Very confusing.
