Making a $100 Belt from Scratch| DIY Leather Craft

In this ASMR-style video, relax and watch me handcraft a minimalist men's leather belt. This DIY leathercraft project is simple, but the details matter. I used natural vegetable-tanned leather, traditional leather craft techniques, and cheap, affordable tools to assemble this one. Veg-tan leather is durable and will patina over time to create a beautiful honey tone, but I used brown Tokonole to give it a little color anyway. Some techniques I use here are edging and skiving, punching, burnishing, logo stamping, staining, and more. Hopefully, this step-by-step video is as relaxing to watch as it was to film!
