Painting and Antiquing a Leather Belt Using Alpha 6 paints and Fiebings products.

[@kdpuffer1]

Awesome Belt and awesome paint job. A little tip to help brush life is either mix paint with the butt end or use an old sacrificial brush or stir stick. The paint will get it the ferrule and bugger all the bristles up.

Weather your a beginner or advanced you never stop learning. You do a very good job on all the leather projects you show. Thank you for your time.

I am obsessed with leather and want to learn all the things,if the stuff wasn’t so expensive!I have made custom hey dudes and one bag but I have to buy one tool at a time and then save for the leather!

Beautiful work

Aaron can you do a tutorial on How you carved this ? Please these style of belts are supper popular here in Nevada right now and I would like to learn this

[@dougsobel2571]

Thanks for the video. I haven't had a chance to use what I bought. Have you used it on chrome tanned leather like garment leather?

[@makersleathersupply1220]

Yessir. Painted it on several types.

[@pikes_design7332]

I love it. Just curious where are the snaps for the buckle and holes going to go?

[@makersleathersupply1220]

I'm not a fan of snaps, I use Chicago screws.

[@pikes_design7332]

@@makersleathersupply1220 I will have to try them. Are you going to punch through the pattern though?

Have you thought about using a drinking straw to dispense you thinner?

[@makersleathersupply1220]

I have not but that would work great!

[@walterwaller9784]

Aaron that is a Bad A belt brother!!!!

[@brianhudson3619]

Out of curiosity, what happened with Indelible? I really liked their product. Haven't checked out the Alpha 6 line, though.

[@makersleathersupply1220]

Indelible was already struggling to find more sales outlets and Covid shut down many of their current clients... so it could only float so long before it sank.

[@brianhudson3619]

Shame. Thank you for the reaponse!

[@oltoddilocks]

Oh man, i need a belt that looks almost just like that

[@bobbyroberts5751]

Where do you buy the sheepskin at ?

[@makersleathersupply1220]

Saddle shops usually have a lot of scrap. We have whole ones. I started using a whole one some years ago... 3 square inches at a time makes it last a looong time.

[@chrisnixon2179]

How long do you let the antique set before you apply the resoline? Nice work looks great

[@makersleathersupply1220]

A few hours will do

[@vickicade8380]

You look nice without a cap. Why do you wear one all the time?

[@makersleathersupply1220]

Old military habits die hard. Also keeps the sweat from falling on my workbench.

Man what y'all got against Idaho?
