I have the same frustration with hardware...We always adapt and overcome... I use Weldwood also... Thanks for the videos... You efforts are appreciated!

I too am a Weldwood Adhesive fan. By the way, you can ham it up all you want with your enjoyable videos. Thanks for another segment.

Another great looking belt.

The black western turned out nice.

Enjoyed the tips and easy going pace. I ordered 30mm buckles and at a quick glance they look like 1 1/4". I cut some straps for 1 1/4" not thinking to measure first as I had put the 30mm buckles in the 1 1/4" drawer. All part of the process trying to pay attention and stay organized. OOPS! Stay well! Cheers...Freddie

I sure do appreciate the fact you set up the camera so we an view your work from your perspective. There are a lot of yt channels that have their camera set up from the opposite perspective. Great job on the belts, Robert!

Such a funny story about cutting the ends off a ham because it was a family tradition. 😂

Great tips and good looking belts. I like the cardboard tip! Thanks. Have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin

Always use 1/4 of an inch bigger than what you want for that style of buckle. I always recommend the trophy style buckles. They work the best in my opinion. 2:21

Turning out very nice Robert. Thanks for the tips.

And a matching belt ! Very cool

Great work !

I’ve become a huge fan and love your videos. Today you open my eyes to the fact that before I retired where I worked, we were very process oriented. Because of that we had standard operating procedures for everything. I too have fallen into the trap of skipping a step and causing great pain. Now you’ve made me realize I need SOP’s. thank you.

I always try to be polite in all my comments with all the channels. I also only had a few rude comments. Nice cup 🥤

I would be so lost without my two special order forms. Much like your recipe card i have one for belts tthat gives me all necessary details for an individual belt and the other for other leather projects that I take on. Again, thanks for your videos. I like your style.

I use large manilla envelopes to keep everything together. Square feet of material required, patterns, time breakdown for the job, hardware requirements, and any other special notes. The name of the job goes on the outside, and if it had previous versions so I can reference older layouts if needed.

Thats great tips 👍🏻to have a book and do some notes 📝,im glad now that i can stop use thoose yellow postis notes that always get lost 😆, would be so nice to meet you in real life some day ,

It is so nice to hear that everyone makes these mistakes! Sometimes 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🙋🏼‍♀️

It is always a pleasure to watch one of your videos. A little bit of peace in an upside down world.

That is a great idea. I write things down on my patterns. How about making a leather handle that slides on to that cup? I have a similar cup that needs a handle! I like all your videos. You keep it real.

Nice of Rick to send that cup to you. !

Great video. Having a recipe for any thing makes the day go easier, even working on garden tractors or doing firewood. It takes the stress away having a plan. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋 And even thou I know that, I’m the world’s worst for planing. 🤭🤭 Great looking cup, they have a great channel. Thanks for the mention and I was surprised to win. Cause I never win anything. Have a great day Robert and take care. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋

I like your new addition to the shop hanging on your wall.

“If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” That’s the generation I grew up in.

OLD Leather Smith here, nice job. I did something similar only the client wanted his name 2 stay in the center so I added 2 each end & matched the tooling exactly. The original belt was laced & buck stitched with Gold laces & Silver buck stitching, so I pulled out the old & replaced the laces & buck stitching original belt was 40" new belt is 56" long. I use Chicago screws 2 in installing hardware easier on the long run. I also use OVAL holes on belts only, less wear. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️ 🥎🙃

What weight leather and in mils please? Was it marketed for tooling, the leather?

Mr. Little, love your leather crafting videos ! Keep up the awesome content ! Question, where did you get that hand punch tool ? Looks really sturdy, I’d like to pick one up ! Thanks

Very nice👍🏻👍🏻

Great looking belt

Awesome addition and you’ll bust down those logs in no time! The Pro 28C is a nice machine. That’s gentle lol compared to some I suppose.

Clever use of that old rake! I thought it turned out real nice👍🏻👍🏻

I was thinking since you went to a 1 1/4 bag punch you were going to use the punch out to fill the old slot. Belt came out very nice and the repair is seamless and unseen when wearing, great job.

that belt is screaming 1970's, i have some old leather hippie purses that match it to a tee

Fine job Robert

Where did you get that oblong punch?

Awesome little job Mr. Little 😊

everybody has their own opinion. personally I would not wear that belt. OK, that;'s my opinion. think about the Ranger belt construction. work out 2 billets that are the same width as the belt. cut and skive the belt and billet and attach so No part of the belt end or the foldover will be visible. ad a shaped/fancy shape to the sewn on portion of the belt. die does not math and shouldn't. you experienced leather folks will understand. the process I tried to describe would be too long. have a great day....

I bet she’ll be happy to be able to wear that belt again!

Love wat happens in your shop being a newbie in the craft always learning from project U do a top crafter

Saw those initials and was hoping you did too as to not get rid of them. Nice work!

Really nice fix, maintaining the original as much as possible. Well done yersel! Cheers...Freddie

Saturday morning + 1 cup of my favorite coffee + Petting my lapdog + Sitting in my favorite chair + Robert's weekly video = Mellow HOME reset. Thank you!

I like the flowers on the belt. Very unique!

Nice job ! I am sure they are thankful for their new belt!

What use did you make that for ?

Nice work

It found a good home.

Wow. Another great project.

Now THAT is some serious skiving! Great job Robert.

Great job on the handle, Robert. The fact that you hand crafted the handle using hand tools such as the draw knife is outstanding.
