The Most Important Belt You Can make.

In this video I go through the steps of how I make my plain belts.
1. Getting your Belt Blank
2. Marking out your Customers Measurements
3. Splitting Down Buckle End
4. Gluing your Liner to the Belt
5. Cutting a Stitch Groove
6. Sewing the Liner to the Body
7. Trim Liner
8. Finishing your edge
a. Sanding the edge
b. Using Edger to round the edge
c. Dying the edge
d. Burnishing the edge
9. Set the Snaps on the Buckle end
10. Punch Holes on tail end
11. Protective Finish
12. Install Buckle and Keeper
I also explain why you should keep track of time to set the price for your base belts.

Thank you sir.

[@CraftsmanshipwithAsh]

Your welcome.

I guess a hand stitched belt would cost a lot more than an electric stitched belt just because of how much longer it takes to do.

[@CraftsmanshipwithAsh]

If you are charging for your time then the answer is Yes, a hand stitched belt should cost more than a machine stitched belt.

At what step did you die the leather?

[@CraftsmanshipwithAsh]

Joseph, I die my belts before I glue the top and bottom pieces together.

@@CraftsmanshipwithAsh Santa asked me to make him a new belt. The one with his $1000 suite is vinyl. Probably make this only one sided though. 4 inch with a solid brass buckle.
