Making a Simple Handmade Leather Belt - Build Along - ASMR

Enjoy the sounds of the leather shop as I craft a simple yet very durable leather belt! The leather I am using is a full grain drum dyed brown vegetable tanned leather from Hermann Oak. I am cutting these belts from the bend area of the hide, which consists mainly of the back and butt. This area is ideal for belts and this particular hide is around 9/11 oz or roughly 3/16 inches thick.
I don't typically build single layered belts, but this product is more of a medium duty style and is lower on the price point. Still made with some of the highest quality leather on the market, this belt will last many years if properly taken care of and age well with use! I have many sizes available for purchase at the time this video is being posted. They are for sale on my website girtyleatherco.com and I can ship within the United States, Mexico, an Canada right now. If you are just here for the video then I appreciate that too! Any support helps and I am thankful for all of you. Please let me know what you think in the comments and feel free to drop any tips or questions! I love learning and considering this is my first full length video to post, I would appreciate any feedback.

@@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.

Super master!👍👍👍👍

[@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!

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!

[@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!

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!

2:07 what a coffee you used ?

[@Girtyleatherco]

It was just water lol

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
