Should be fixed now. Thanks for letting me know @rascalleather

[@generalacc]

Hi Will, can you please explain the need of two initial glued layers for the black side? Is the black leather pattern so thin top grain?

[@ThomasThompson-c6g]

Perfect!

[@WillHodges]

Thank you!

True craftsmanship. Such a beautiful, elegant men's belt. It was such a pleasure to watch the video. Not a single word yet everything explained. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is much appreciated. May you prosper in all that you do. Did you work with a single piece of thread? Is so how long was it (I'm very curious to know). Also could you share the name of your cutting knife supplier. Many thanks.

Nice belt. Nice neat job. The only thing I would like to note is its thickness. Either choose a different buckle, or make the belt thinner. It can be seen that it is difficult to climb through.

[@WillHodges]

I’m remaking it slightly thinner and you’re right, it’s a little thin for my buckle

[@chuckchapdelaine6110]

Excellent work and wonderful lessons on technique. What type of glue do you use?

[@WillHodges]

Making a video all about glue coming up very soon to please keep an eye out for that. But it’s Ecosar 16 PIU

Gorgeous! Where do you get your buckles and other hardware from?

Check the video description, i have added the website link

Good work! There's something about this belt that reminds me of Equus belts

[@WillHodges]

I worked for them for 6 months where I learned how to make this belt.

[@kvwg5922]

​@@WillHodges wow it was a very valuable expirience i think! I saw you used PU glue for this belt. Is it strong enough in your opinion? Isn't better to use nairite glue?

[@edwardbella3871]

Very nice.

[@WillHodges]

Thank you :)

[@pB-vp3mo]

Nice belt! Should last most of a lifetime.

[@Stryker2]

Where did you get the buckle hardware?

[@2002Framer]

Hi. The buckle in the link is not the same as the one you used.

[@WillHodges]

It’s the gold version, I don’t speak French to locate the silver one but I’m guessing it’s there somewhere

[@2002Framer]

@@WillHodges Thank you. I can really watch you make this belt over and over. The end product is absolutely stunning.

[@Jaqanosman]

Whats your watch? And You made the strap?

[@WillHodges]

It’s a Tissot Seastat and yes I did

[@builderxx]

Will, my son has very narrow hops and no ass so he has to sinch his belts so tugjtly that they stretch and oft tones break. He is a golf pronso I woukd like to make him a natural and a black belt, stylish but something that will not stretch and last for some time. Any tips or hinta?

[@kvwg5922]

25-30mm wide belt from a decent leather 3.6-4.5mm thick will work great. Important to get the size properly so he can wear it easily without damaging the leather.

[@builderxx]

Thank you, and thank you for deciphering all my typos, I am so sorry about that.

[@clipdump]

exquisite

[@WillHodges]

[@jacks.7373]

That is going to take absolutely forever. Looks fantastic though

Will, Your work on the equus stitched and raised belt is really remarkable ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooPIZnerpLeNjsk ). Thank you, so very much for sharing it and offering to answer questions; my daughter and I are working together to follow in your steps. Some questions for the master: 1. what types leather in what thicknesses? 2. charlie in his vid splits leather at one point. is this key? 3. you employ a heated iron on the edges. when related to paint, tokonole, burnishing? Thank you, Will. Blessings and merry Christmas, Hans
