Making a No-Scratch Leather Belt

[@w4447]

I'm 58 and been working on cars for 40 years professionally now. (The time just flies by) I have worked with guys that had no scratch belts on but I never got one. After the project I am working on now I think I see a belt in my future. And maybe sell a few in the futre as well.Thanks for the great video. I always get great tips and good info from them.

This is a great project for guitar players too. There’s a phenomenon known as “buckle rash” where over time, the player’s belt buckle scratches away at the finish of the back of the guitar.

Nice belt. I'm a mechanic and I have never heard of a mechanic's belt before, here in Europe we don't wear jeans or leather belts to work, I wear overalls and a cloth belt. But this would be great for guitar players to avoid the dreaded buckle scratches on the back of the guitar.

I'm making a foam prop knife right now and I had to drill holes from both sides with my dremel. They came out perfectly first try. I immediately said to myself "we've got a good pattern!" and it made me so happy.

[@paulregner5335]

I am so making one of these for myself. My days of buckling my belt on my hip when I want to work on my car are finally over!

[@Freeman-Dl70]

I'll be needing one for my mechanic days, that i was hoping were over. That's got to be my biggest pipe dream.

11:37 AWESOME TIP!!! Thanks for sharing that, Chuck.

[@bobzee5153]

What a great idea! It never occurred to me to make one of those. You definitely opened my eyes Chuck! Thank you.

[@williammrdeza9445]

Thanks Chuck. I was unfamiliar with this style of belt and buckle. I am glad to have learned something new from you today!

First and I am super happy to see this. Time to add a new product to my business.

Had a great time watching this. 👍🏻🤝🏻

[@artfulcoyote]

that is a great looking belt, Chuck. 🙂

I have the 4pc setter set and I LOVE it!

[@RayKonold]

I see other craft folks use a double stick on the ends of their projects. Is there a good reason to use a double stitch when doing a saddle stitch?

[@crystalhenington7222]

@chuck dorsett. I have always been confused by the "digital pics" are these something we can print? Please say yes!!

[@ryanhatten7751]

I'm not sure if you can print them. I usually pause the video and do a screen shot.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

If you click the link in the video descriptions there are downloadable patterns for most videos. The digital pic is there so Chuck can walk through the pattern in the video.

[@crystalhenington7222]

@@WeaverLeatherSupply this is going to sound really stupid. But...what are the video descriptions? Where do i find that?

[@markedis5902]

10:20 pricking iron and awl? Much easier imho.

[@crystalhenington7222]

I dont understand how this belt closes on the prongs, as in what do the holes need to be for the buckle to latch?

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

The prongs slide into the adjustment holes and stay in place because of the "hook" like shape.

[@crystalhenington7222]

@WeaverLeatherSupply ok.. so what is the spacing for those holes? And what size holes?

[@henrysara7716]

Thank you

[@alaskankare]

nice one Chuck!

[@ferguscosgrave7510]

Thanks

[@thomasbeckett1245]

I think I heard of these in a guitar shop! 😂❤😂. Wonderful idea.

[@joshuaesack4970]

Chuck, I want to know how to make a pocket without the threads showing, no stitches on the outside. I just can’t figure out how to do it correctly

[@crystalhenington7222]

That sounds deeply challenging if you want it to last. But then again.. . if you want to be like what america or china makes.. They sells glue. Glue is best..and then it falls apart soon so you need another one! Naaaaah dont do that!! Chuck dorsett teaches us how to make products that last generations. Thats what you want to sell

[@milkedway]

Funny, all my belts are no scratch cause my tummy hangs over my belt.

[@freddiemoretti8456]

Don't advertise your expensive leather! Show your skills with cheap leather.

[@jaggerandstuff8773]

He literally used a belt blank and a scrap of leather this isn't expensive leather you can make this belt for like 20-30 bucks
