Making a Real Leather Strap for WWE Shop Winged Eagle Replica Belt

[@PaulMartinBelts]

For those asking about the WORLD banner. I probably should have subtitled the reasoning as it certainly does look like I just forgot to attach it! When I Releather these Winged Eagles I prefer to glue the banner in place because with the screws left in place they create really large bumps in the back of the leather that just look a bit ugly. By gluing it in place and not using the screws the back looks a lot tidier in my opinion 😁👍🏻

[@Faith_Over_Fear932]

Hey Paul , how much would it cost to releather a vintage wcw cruiserweight championship ?

[@ПашаЛах-м1ъ]

З чого той титул чемпіона з роблений з металу чи пластік??

[@GenGamesUniverse]

I agree, I can say from experience when I took the winged eagle to the WWE LIVE show a few weeks ago in Newcastle, that my shoulder was sore afterwards because the screws where teh "WORLD" banner was actually pressed against it really hard.

[@tomer_stern]

Amazing work. Couldn't you find different screws with flat heads?

[@joshtassie9478]

How much to make me a strap for my winged eagle???

[@robertoslama331]

Never thought I'd see the day where a major name on the releathering world would record & share his process. Always admired your work, Paul. Keep up the good work 👏

[@PaulMartinBelts]

Thanks very much I appreciate that. If you haven’t seen back in November I made a similar video to this showing the process making an entire belt.

[@robertoslama331]

@@PaulMartinBelts I may have missed that program but I'll be sure to view it eventually. I was heavily involved in the community years ago but left due to nerve damage caused from an auto accident - ending my releathering career. Happy to see you're keeping the game going I'll look forward to your future work

​@@PaulMartinBeltscan I Please buy some of your releathered WWF / WWE title belts

[@iamdnice1]

I can watch videos like this every day.

[@PaulMartinBelts]

Thank you! Many more to come in the future

[@adleradler8561]

I watch it every day

[@RickRomo]

make more of these time lapse straps.it's cool to see the behind the scenes process and the craftmanship behind these championships.

[@ApexLodestar]

Painstakingly done by hand. I've always wondered how these leather beauties are made. Super cool of you to show us.

[@J_Gar]

Man! You are a master of your craft, sir! Don’t know why I haven’t see a vid like this, time-lapse or not, before. Gives myself and others such an appreciation of the work that goes into the re-leathering. For my money, the winged-eagle is THE crown jewel of title-belts and this one looks beautiful! Thanks for the vid! ✊🏾

[@PaulMartinBelts]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate that! I plan on making many more videos of this style going forward.

[@gxbouncer1]

Making these by machines is one thing but this is truly hand crafted excellent piece!!

[@ItsMePaulyC]

This video, in detail, makes me really appreciate all the hard work that goes into these straps! Wow Paul, your belts are amazing!

[@PaulMartinBelts]

Thanks very much! I really appreciate that!

[@cjknox2279]

God damn I love when Paul does this. Especially with that instrumental music

[@OSW]

Man it's so relaxing watching someone so talented at work. Creating art here!

[@reecedallison5764]

Honestly these are the videos I could watch all day. I love seeing the process of how a real leather strap is made. I'm looking at ordering one for my Red Universal Championship and White IC belts I purchased recently. Absolute respect to you for the detail and work you do.

[@BruceColon-BSides]

Anything Winged Eagle, I’m all on board. Beautiful, labor-intensive craftsmanship. The final product is stunning. Love it.

[@PaulMartinBelts]

I appreciate that!

[@sinakaedwards2009]

Just watching this video again, after watching the other belt makers I have seen on KZbin, I still think your channel produces the best overall videos. My favorite belt of all time is the WWF intercontinental belt of the late eighties. However, it doesn't feel right without the WWF logo on it, same for the Tag and Winged eagle. I am not sure if I want to press my luck with a knockoff because it might turn out real bad, however, I have seen reviews of really good ones. The dual plated belts are really amazing with their ability to show off detail. Love the channel and if I can find the right belt I may buy it and send it to you for a custom strap.

[@PITBULL783]

I admire your hard work and dedication! Thank you for this video

[@baxterdavis7335]

It's amazing, you can watch videos about releathering a belt all day but never realize how much work goes into it. My hats off to you.

[@DayLateGamerWill]

Jesus christ, that looks so crisp, so clean - Im jealous of your skills

[@elboogie2324]

I got my first belt and i really want that winged eagle belt.

[@mtbrx]

Gives you a whole new appreciation for the work that goes into making a championship title

[@PaulMartinBelts]

Thanks I appreciate that!

[@noitpippo]

This is one of the best belt that ever had

[@joelhartman8176]

Wow it looks absolutely gorgeous with Real leather strap good work

[@PaulMartinBelts]

Thank you very much!

[@jamesk1288]

The most beautiful belt ever created. Idk why they ever rid it

[@allenfitch2996]

Really cool to see the process. Makes you appreciate the work you put in. Salute.

[@enforcer0175]

Real leather makes such a difference, especially for this belt.

[@Zuul47]

The craftsmanship is top tier 🤩

[@theunderdogfromtheundergro7173]

It’s funny yesterday I was wondering how people make releathered straps for they’re replica belts and then this popped up on my recommended. Talk about perfect timing

[@leisurequest]

Bet the belts you made as a kid were next level. Loved that video

[@sliver01]

I wish you would get back to do reviews as well as showing the leather straps again, I enjoyed those videos. With that said I had ordered the leather strap for the Seth Rollins WHC, looking forward to receiving it. Cordovan brown with white stitching.

[@mikemerz8769]

Awesome video. You truly are the best I have ever seen. I’m a huge fan of your work and your videos. Thank you for the insight of how you do what you do. The meticulous way you create perfection is absolutely unbelievable. Thank you Paul!

[@PaulMartinBelts]

Thats kind of you to say, I really appreciate that. Thank you!

[@pr_manofsteel]

Great video! Love that you truly care about detail and quality when you re-leather a belt! Keep up the amazing work 👏 !

[@PaulMartinBelts]

I really appreciate that! Thank you!

[@callumslater3040]

I’m from the UK 🇬🇧 and I come from a background of very little money and me and my family have always worked and have a beautiful little girl to provide for, but I always managed to watch wrestling either it was at a friends or a cousins house watching the old schools Shawn Michaels, bret hart, stone cold, psycho Sid etc who have held this belt and have always wanted this belt, one day I’ll get one for myself, love this video 💯

[@sunsetflipreviews845]

Just amazing work. Excellent video as always!

[@ItsMePaulyC]

Absolutely beautiful. I love all the attention that was put into the detail.

[@ferocious1978]

Thanks for sharing Paul. You’re the best!

[@iamjorellr]

These are about to come on real leather with tooling inspired by you! Machine tooled of course.

[@ShootItALBY]

Paul Martin is the best at what he does. Wish he did his stuff in the states haha

[@PaulMartinBelts]

I appreciate that! We do ship worldwide though

[@MidNightSnowFawl]

The best championship design

[@notorioussulo]

Loved watching the process of how your work is done. Looking forward to future videos.

[@TheSwedishSousChef]

Outstanding craftsmanship!

[@af3rb1]

it's as beautiful as the day HBK won his 1st wwe championship

[@pardip_singh]

Amazing video. Love the time lapse. Another outstanding strap.

[@PaulMartinBelts]

Thank you very much!

[@JBPlaysGames1]

This is so satisfying to watch lol. I also find myself soooo jealous of the cleanliness and straightness of you bevel lines! God I wish mine were anywhere near that lol.

[@coryn5487]

Awesome video Paul. Makes me want to purchase this belt and have you releather it.

[@norrisvii13]

This is amazing man . You truly have a gift !

[@RobbieNH]

Great stuff Paul. Your leatherwork is outstanding 😉👍 I'll have to get one made from you soon 👌

[@GenGamesUniverse]

This is amazing, I love how you've made it even more spectacular with the releather! I cannot wait to get both WCW big gold and WWF/WWE Winged Eagle (the 2021 version) releathered!

[@MarioRodriguez-hs5ls]

I got mine re-leathered...dude you're never EVER gonna put it down. Im holding it as I'm writing this comment lol

[@GenGamesUniverse]

@@MarioRodriguez-hs5ls I think if you're gonna get a replica belt, it should look better than what WWE does with those stupid faux leather straps and faux jewels. When I inquired about a few months ago about my WCW big gold (figs inc 2005) replica, I was told it would cost £310 for the releather and restoning which to me imo is a real good price, especially when you see the amount of time that Paul does put into his work! It's just a shame that people do get scammed on the likes of eBay with those stupid belts from places like Pakistan.

[@jerrielexavier]

Love these type of vids, especially that belt... 😍one of my favourite lets of all time tied with the big gold

[@elmaster6207]

It doesn't look like it comes from a factory anymore, it looks like is made with love

[@sloppycactus2247]

Been watching since EcwNumbaWon. These types of videos are so awesome please keep making them

[@tun-tunninc.6492]

Wow. You really account for amazing detail in your projects. That's a gorgeous title. I really want one now. 😊😁

[@ernestoluiscastruita]

Paul came across your channel a couple weeks ago and big fan of wrestling btw and as well as your work.. hopefully I’ll be buying both big gold and winged eagle leather straps from you very soon 🔥🔥🔥…

[@pyrex5594]

I’d love to see this process for the more decorative straps like the US Spinner. Curious how the stars are done and stuff exactly how it looked on TV. This was nice

[@PaulMartinBelts]

I plan on doing a lot more videos like this going forward. US Spinner is a very good shout!

[@MailmanRSO]

@@PaulMartinBelts I’m sure it won’t happen, but that custom US strap with the stripes and extending beyond the plate and star stamps is one I’d like to see. There was an option for a send-out but it’s gone. I was trying to save up for it.

[@johnm5889]

Absolutely beautiful 👍

[@HDBrown-wc9xt]

Best Title WWE has ever had. It fit every champ that held it. 2nd is the Undisputed title.

[@usaalways1869]

❤wow 😮awesome detail ✌🏼😎🇺🇸 Paul Martin is the real deal. Wooooooooooooo

[@AnthonyOldhandGarcia]

Beautiful work.

[@Panthersman52]

Love the video Paul. Was wondering if you also made a video for the custom strap that you have on the 2014 US title?

[@Scorpion33721]

dude that's so cool and it's so satisfying I could watch these videos all day what I really wanna know is how long does it normally take to make this kind of leather strap for a title belt?

[@JeffBisCamp]

Awesome !! Fantastic Work !! Cheers 😎👍🌴☀️

[@ChrisSantiagoProductions]

Quality craftsmanship, my friend! Hopefully after this video, no one will complain about wait times ever again! Lol

[@PaulMartinBelts]

Thanks Chris! I appreciate that!

[@realcorntb4612]

Love it Paul! More videos like these please!!!!!!!

[@DashingChrisBey]

Been waiting to see this process

[@blazer_boy]

Amazing video, amazing work!

[@adamnash7908]

I have this full sized replica and if it wasnt signed by Kevin Nash and Scott Hall id want to change out the strap.

[@c.johnweir182]

God you're an artiste and I love the way that you create that strap from scratch. The tooling is amazing and I wish I had the money for you to redo the strap from my step dad's belt that we had when we had a company called XWA = Xtreme Wresting Alliance in Florida.

[@AssembleShow]

this video is awesome!

[@ChaoticEnigma92]

Got DAMN that looks good

[@michaeljohnson6155]

[@entengkabisote5025]

i wish you will do alot of this Kind of videos

[@robclowers9628]

Hi Paul. I've been considering making a custom belt for myself but the snap box areas have always been a struggle for me. I was just wondering who I could get in contact with to get a custom stamp made for the snap box areas like the black one you used if you are willing to give out that information. I understand if you can't

[@leonwatkins5072]

Love theses Paul would love to see a re stone video also

[@jairedconklin3507]

Awesome

[@johnny_boy79]

Great video

[@GuardianAndrew1365]

nice job

[@ZOMBIE-TORE]

2 questions 1 what leather punches do you use? And 2 where do you get your leather to start with?

[@GraveysBrewery]

That looks amazing mate, and speaking from past purchaes, I love the work you put into the straps. I always find it interesting how you do the stamping and tooling with hand presses and a small hammer. I can't begin to imagine how much you must ache after doing the camouflage tooling around the edges of the straps. Great work as always, cheers 🍻

[@PaulMartinBelts]

Thanks very much! I really appreciate that! The camo tooling is pretty sore but is not actually the worst. The most finger bruising tooling I would say is the pattern on the WWE Heavyweight and Universal behind the centre plates!

[@EdgardoRosa]

AMAZING!!!!!

[@CCSims]

Out of all the belts, that one is my favorite. I'm currently looking into doing releathers myself. where does a one get the snap box stamps and templates for the belts?

[@llcj07]

I admire this process. I've always been curious, what type of leather do you use? Is it Cowhide? What type of tanning on it? Your leather work is great.

[@tvue2322]

Damn great job! So how does one remove the plates for whatever reason if the screws in the back are fully covered?

[@gxbouncer1]

I had at one time 4 belts but wwe couldn’t tell me what the metal was I knew it wasn’t gold😊

[@clauramoore]

Super Awesome

[@pastordomino]

I like to see a video of the cordovan brown strap for the Fandu luke Edition 🤔

[@ahmedwasir2223]
