Hello friend, I am from Chile and I want to start a business creating wrestling belts. I would like to ask you, what advice would you give me to start, I would be very grateful.

[@coryn5487]

I’d love to start doing straps, but don’t even know where to begin. Don’t know where to get the leather, how much leather to get, leather tooling tools, stamping tools.

Thats some exquisite work, i wish i could learn how to make belts, i would design some radical designs.

[@dripbelts]

Are you using 2 different beveler stamps with different angles?

[@DG_Haus]

Is there a technical name for the leather used? Where would you source the leather to work on from?

[@dripbelts]

Veg Tan Leather, as described in part 1, 2.5-3.5mm is what is used

[@DG_Haus]

What tools do you use?

[@dripbelts]

I literally have around a hundred stamps but I use around 5 in total on a strap nowadays.
You find a technique that looks amazing so I just stick to that method now on all straps.
Check out Tandy (craftool and Barry King stamps)

I have a belt that has rough edges and could use some burnishing but I’ve only seen it done in videos as it’s being made and not after the fact. Would burnishing an already finished belt do any harm? Thanks!

[@dripbelts]

If you belt is black front and back then you should be ok burnishing it. If it’s coloured I wouldn’t risk it

[@babymatrix559]
