[@freezinweasle1]

Been watching many of your tutorials on line and appreciate your honesty and time spent. I'm 61yrs old, retired, a blacksmith of 10 years and now am adding leatherwork to my hobbies. Again, thank you for your time and effort. God bless you and your family.

[@taitcunningham694]

Thank you for helping an amateur trying to get started in a new hobby. Your love for your craft, and passion is inspiring.

[@whitandpark]

Thanks so much Tait!

[@konstantinosampatzidis9856]

A young man who is full of energy , so sympathetic with a big smaile, a giving man, and also a good leathercraft teatcher. I wish you all the best. Konstantinos from Grecce.

[@kenethmatiba3517]

Good job, I love it

[@LeonardGarden]

Wow, never knew a belt required quite so much work. I really like the oval holes that prevent the buckle tine from warping out (when the hole is round). Also like your English point guide. Looks like a must-have for belts and straps too! Great and successful tutorial!

[@vasuhardeo1418]

dude the finished bealt looked sweet, you can see that there i passion in the work, great job dude.

[@MrOrchardsWorld]

Great work! Love that belt! I had the same problem with belt sizing so I got a piece of 3mm thick bendy plastic and made an adjustable hoop which can be set to the actual size of the persons' waist measurement and then I can wrap the belt around it and I know it'll be right every time. I make sure I get the customer to put the measuring tape through their belt loops and not just on their skin! Loving your videos, Keep em coming!

[@tonyb865]

Your passion for the craft shines in your work! Great video.

[@buildingalaskahomestead]

I'm just getting started with leather work to make sheaths for the knives I make and your channel has been a big help thank you

[@cpickell1987]

Absolutely fantastic videos man. Your videos have helped inspire me to get into leather working! Thanks for taking the time to make these incredibly helpful tutorials.

[@commonsensecorner7275]

HOW IRONIIIIIIIC!!! I just decided two nights ago, since I’ve been learning from all of you all, that I will just make my own belt to replace my 20 year old one!!! I’ve been searching for several years to find what I want, now all I have to do is go back to Tandy and find the leather 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Oh, I actually love that original light color before the dye 🧡🧡🧡

[@KaotiKTrendZ]

Love it bro! Great work, that’s the same kind of look and feel I love too. It’s clean, elegant, and a workhorse all in one. I could never find a belt in the stores that I really loved and felt just right, plus something about making your own belt feels really rewarding haha. Keep up the great work! Coop

[@HikeColorado]

This is an awesome tutorial for belt making and I really like the board you made to hold the belt in place. Nicely done sir👍

[@kennethprice4292]

Just what to say I love what your doing, both in your craft and your videos. Great job, very entertaining, keep it going!

[@rosasaldivar26]

I love that you are so thorough! It helps us newbies a lot.

[@whitandpark]

Thank you Rosa!

[@safetygroup240]

Thanks for the videos! We love watching them! GREAT WORK! God Bless !

[@jamesdillen2609]

Great videos and your craftsmanship is awesome. Makes me want to give it a try, Thanks for showing us how it’s done.

[@silverwiskers7371]

man I been struggling with a few steps on belt making because I'm a tight wad but that board with groves to hole the belt is nothing short of GENIUS, having said that I shall make me one ASAP

[@frehleyleadguitar]

Hello Thanks for the video, I'm just getting started working with leather, I enjoy watching your work.

[@tballstaedt7807]

I totally dig your teaching style and your skill level. The Hollywood rigs are interesting but I'd sure love to see a historically accurate circa 1880s rig in one of your next videos.

[@waynelentz352]

only recently found your channel, so interesting, cant stop watching you make stuff

[@fat-hand]

You are a truer inspiration - I love your enthusiasm. Well done and very good instruction.

[@jonathanbailey5896]

Thanks mate love it I am new to leather making and I have the same passion is you. I can not wait to get started.

[@xagg]

Great video. I always wondered why I struggled with sizing on these belts. Glad I am not the only one

[@mikeoxbig4705]

No need to reply but thank you for your time and for sharing. I'm in the beginning phase of leather craft at the age of 52. I find this type of work will allow me to be creative and expressive. Thanks again

[@whitandpark]

Good for you Mike! Thanks for the kind words and best of luck

[@Esteric100]

Hi thanks for your video really helpful Im 76 and just started with leather like your videos Best Regards Eric from the Uk

[@j.a.styles547]

Thank you for the vid, awesome belt, thru the vid i learned a bit all the terms, process and techniques in making leather projects.... amazing and informative step by step. 😊

[@johnhardy3062]

Hey Parker, thanks for the inspiring craftsmanship. Greetings from Belgium.

[@agnesrambling]

Thank you for this video. It is helpful for a beginner like me.

[@stormyabraham]

What a decent guy. Thanks for the video buddy. Clean and excellent work.

[@alfredcolyer1524]

Wow! That is a great belt. Enjoyed watching the whole process.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Great stuff. BTW, I love the product photography on your site. Very well done.

[@ggregory2584]

Great job dude. You helped a lot with my own belt project

[@earlelzy7243]

I am also getting into the leathercraft and am making this same belt with the center bar buckle just not as thick. I'm still going to add the keeper because I'm learning hand sewing and I don't have rivets. Thanks for your video.

[@embalmer5736]

Thanks for the vid, I bought myself a christmas present a leather sewing machine, I caught your comment on make sure there is enough thread in the bobbin LOL, guess what i didnt, oh well lesson learned.

[@olechuga2]

Sir, an EXCELLENT project accomplished. Thank you Sir, for your hard work in producing this tutorial video, for us to enjoy. Oscar

[@nicholasaustin1440]

I am a new subscriber and I find your work very helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@michaelarnold6268]

Lol April 25 my birthday. Thought that was funny. This caught my eye. I've always loved leather good handmade leather work. I'm been looking to try working with leather and see what I can do. I'm disabled with back injury. But I was in construction and would love to keep doing thing with my hands. Anyway good job and keep it up. It's ones like you that makes a difference in this world. Be blessed.

[@markbrooks324]

Always enjoy watching your videos and also learned a lot thanks!🇬🇧

[@1962opera]

Hello from Holland. Love your style. Great to watch your video’s . Inspired by how you are building up the craft community. I am a newby at leatherwork, started on september 2020 making some flashlight holders for Some co-workers. Have not stopped working on leather and learning a lot every day. Thank you. I wish you good fortune.

[@jeremiahmoss6015]

That was clean. Beautiful belt.

[@warweasel74]

Awesome, Parker. You have inspired me to get to making!

[@ArcticFlies56]

Buck, I use the “Dip Bath” method of dying. The dye I use is the Feiblings Pro Dye oil base die. I run the belt through the bath and it comes out perfect. One dip will do it. If you need to dip it twice the color stays the same, it doesn’t get darker with multiple dip bathes. Great product! Richard

[@jarradmann3357]

Great stuff. Got me inspired to make a belt. Like your enthusiasm.

[@simut10]

Great job, thank you for all the good info

[@dantan6223]

Great tutorial! That part that you were wanting to explain 'scientifically' or rather 'geometrically'...you can use the analogy of a circular race track that runner's race on. The 'inner diameter' is always shorter than the 'outer diameter'. That's why runner's who are on the outer lanes (or outer diameter) of the track have starting points that appear much further in front of the racer's who are in the inner lanes (inner diameter) of the track. I learn so much from your videos...so I hope I was able to be helpful! Thanks my guy! Keep up the great craftsmanship!

[@portabug]

Learning a lot from you and having fun doing it.

[@brightargyle8950]

Dang, I thought about doing this for the last belt I made myself. I may have to do one like this now, great video btw!

[@CjhEjdl]

I love that natural veg color

[@Artist_Crafter]

Thank you for sharing! I’ve got my hopes to make things like you

[@royrivera228]

First-time watcher just saw you on the pay open page and the figure hey I'll give it a shot damn good project I'm just starting in leather and you give me a lot of good tips thanks a lot man keep on doing what you do

[@Firekid144]

You are the best teacher on the internet. Thanks

[@whitandpark]

Wow thank you!

[@rpm172]

I am not making leather craft due to hand and shoulder problems, but I am subscribing because of the passion you exude. Your parents raised you right!

[@amazinglifefromkenneth3418]

Great tutorial. Thanks man

[@phredathevanet]

Terrific video. Great teaching style.

[@viscache1]

I have always used mink oil on the final coat after letting the neatsfoot set for two weeks in the cooling room and two weeks in the dark, dry room at 72 F and 30% humidity. This really sets the oils in the leathers. I loved your video! I think as the economy fluctuates we will need more crafts-persons. Especially we don’t want the leather skills and craft to go extinct. We’re looking forward to adding a custom furniture and cabinetry crafts shop onto our current 10,000 sq’ leather shop. We haven’t got out on the internet because of such high demand locally at county fairs, word of mouth etc. also...the whole problem of not being able to set down with a customer over a coffee and cigar and listen to what they REALLY - R E A L L Y. Want so we don’t end up with a return that was crafted for a specific person and has 100 hours into it! One last note..we use pressed, boiled and filtered tobacco juice as a vat coloring process. The smell is outa this world and it really has a nice ‘stink’ on a summer day when a room warms up.

[@fordfan3179]

Wow, you've come a long way brother.

[@jamesfishlipsie]

I really like your work. You use pretty much the same tools I do and the way you just made this belt is exactly the way do do mine except I do the leather beerlt loop and buckle or a buckle set. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching, brother.

[@TheAkalyte]

Beautiful work man!!!

[@john.84]

[@jimfurman3145]

From Texas here ... great video

[@crzyguyoutdoors2585]

Great little vid. Been enjoying many of your vids, actually. I'm a couple months new to leather working and starting to get into small projects; journals, coasters, debossing patches - all for giving away as Christmas presents this year. My day job is a Sales Manager at company that owns a score of laser systems... so I can get all my patterns cut for free (it's good to be related to the owner!). Anyway, learning a lot from your videos. I might give a try at making a belt. One heavy enough to use for CC. Thanks for sharing.

[@aaronionta7134]

Hello I really like your KZbin videos. I am taking my first leather class (belt making) on Nov 10th Cheers

[@kathydennis8131]

Great looking belt.

[@turbotek-wj8vc]

[@novakvladimir1479]

Thank you.

[@biosk4hvd]

beautiful tutorial Parker! The Neutral Edge coat after the burnishing is an awesome idea, will be trying that later on today! Thanks for sharing

[@whitandpark]

Thanks Fadi! Good luck

[@DontAskHowIGotIt]

What you're explaining @ 10:50 is called a Bend Radius, and it refers to the additional length needed on a bending object to compensate for its thickness. Fantastic looking belt, by the way. Greetings from a fellow professional leather worker in Charlotte NC

[@antaresiatribal8217]

Ah! This is what I've been looking for! Is there a good formula to calculate it? I make belts that often have a lot of O rings and have been having trouble getting the right size for people. (I'm in Australia, so we don't use ounces, the leather i get is normally 2.7mm or 3.5mm thick)

[@JunkMailBoxStuff]

*Internal circumference* is the measurement you need to know for the final size. Most people measure the *outside* and do not account for the most important - the *internal.* It's no different than people - their *inside* measurement (character) is what matters, not the external size, appearance, or claimed features.😉

[@ABaumstumpf]

Just for reference - the difference between the inside radius and outside radius caused by the thickness is simple "2*pi*thickness" so roughly ~6.5 times thickness. Even with thick leather ( 5 mm, 12 oz ) the difference is not much, like 3cm, 1.5 inches. And that is the maximum difference, in reality it will be smaller as the inside of the belt is compressed but the outside stretched a little, so more like 4-5 times thickness.

Very nice and detailed instructions. It was an interesting hobby and I know you’ll succeed with your business because you enjoy your work. Good job and video.

wooowww.... i love to watch this tutorials... thank you soo much... awesome.

[@bookssales6985]

awesome belt! hands up!

[@wycheadoffice6075]

Awesome work!

[@chrisashlock5125]

Thank you so much for sharing your tutorials. They're very helpful. If I was going to tool the belt, would it be best to do it before or after joining the two sides together. I made one belt before and working on another one now but I haven't stitched them or put a backing on them. I sure would like to give it a try.

[@gmroventini]

Another excellent video! Thanks for sharing how you do what you do.

[@whitandpark]

Thank you Greg!

Great job bro..love from india 🇮🇳

[@ArcaneTinker]

Ive grown to really like stiff nylon scrubbing brushes for working the glue into the fibers. My small glue pot has a toothbrush for an applicator. One bonus is that it's hard to over apply the glue because the scrubby stiff bristles don't hold nearly the amount of material that an applicator brush like a paint brush does.

[@chiprosien6987]

Giving away my secrets with the ease of that buckle lol

[@whitandpark]

Good luck with it! Thanks Varoon

[@ronwasser4852]

LOL yes "Round" up i know what your speaking of... Enjoy your videos very informative.

[@wickandtallow6222]

Every belt I should have about a 3-inch flap trailing the buckle. That way, your belt loop can be held on by the second fastener. Also, the best way to apply any of those skin creams like neat's-foot is with your bare hands fingertips. All of those products are as good for your own skin (like dry cuticles) as they are for the steerhide. I like your holder jig. Very clever. Your finished product is REALLY NICE too.

[@JWheeler331]

Nice. Thanks for the videos.

[@thedrummingrealtor]

Nice vid. You are a true leatherman!!!
