@@Girtyleatherco I would love to get one or two, Can you export outside the country?

[@Girtyleatherco]

Unfortunately, I don’t have any more of these particular belts in stock at this moment as I am focusing more on my custom orders. I typically only ship within the US, Canada and Mexico.

What is in the mug... Before the bees wax. Can you put a description step by step in the info section.

[@Girtyleatherco]

It’s just water, and then after that was glycerin saddle soap! I will try to add an updated list in the description soon!

[@juleslauve1736]

Great video - thank you. Questions: (1) Did you treat/finish the flesh side of the leather? (2) If yes, please, what product and steps?

[@Girtyleatherco]

I did not do anything to the inside of these belts; however, you could burnish the flesh side if you wanted. Similar to burnishing edges, you can use gum tragacanth, water and saddle soap, etc. with some canvas or a wooden slicker and burnish the inside fibers. I hope that helps!

[@12ernie]

Great video! When you make your border lines, how far from the sides do you make them?

[@Girtyleatherco]

I usually come in 1/8” from the edge!

[@JavaidHussain-g4v]

What is yellow material you rub it after cutting edge .?

[@joelreeves17]

It’s glycerin soap

[@JavaidHussain-g4v]

@@joelreeves17 what is benefit to rub this ???

[@Girtyleatherco]

I use water and saddle soap as a lubricant to help the edge fibers lay down and seal up as I burnish them. I have a full length video over how I finish edges that explains more in depth!

2:07 what a coffee you used ?

[@Girtyleatherco]

It was just water lol

[@joelreeves17]

What leather from Springfield did you use for this belt?

[@Girtyleatherco]

It was some Hermann Oak, drum dyed brown in ~8/10oz

[@joelreeves17]

Thank you for sharing, it turned out great!

[@JohnJohn-xb1sn]

Have you tried sewing your belts without the stitched groove then hammering down the stitch.. I hand sew and can pull the stitch below the surface. Not sure how tight the machine can pull..

[@Girtyleatherco]

I don't think I have tried that. I still hand stitch a few small projects but for the most part I just use my Cobra and groove the line. I don't groove a line on thinner projects though.

[@JohnJohn-xb1sn]

Yeah I'm trying to convince myself I need a sewing machine.. I'm really looking for a landis 3 needle and awl. I figure it's a compromise between old school and new school

[@Girtyleatherco]

@@JohnJohn-xb1sn I love a good hand stitch, but from a business perspective, it’s hard for a lot of people to understand the cost behind it when you do it on larger projects that take much more time to complete because of it

[@jolIyjoeker]

What size thread did you use?

[@Girtyleatherco]

138 bonded nylon

[@lukeedwards8018]

Solid work man, where do you find the buckles and hardware for the belt ? Thanks

[@Girtyleatherco]

Thank you! All the hardware and leather in this video is from Springfield Leather Company!
