- In this DIY build along tutorial I will show you how I make a handmade leather belt from scratch using full grain vegetable tan leather. Veg Tan leather is my favorite leather to work with, I will aslo be sharing lessons I am learning with leather belt leathercraft. Leather craft belt making is a great way to start getting into leather making. I wanted to learn how to make a leather belt and found many helpful videos about how to make a leather belt on youtube and wanted to give back to the community! Most of the tools used were purchased at tandy leather

I'm an old retired fart with lots of time on my hands and have a work/crafting shop in my house that I do many types of in. I'm mainly a wood worker but have ventured into many types of different arts/crafts, including beadwork, replica western gun making, (outta wood ), among many other crafts. I always enjoy learning new crafts and furthering my knowledge in different crafts. So...that being said, I wanted to make myself a new belt, as mine is nearing the end fast. I watched many videos on inlaying beaded belts, but I'm not going to purchase all the necessary tools to do that. I just wanted a simple plain belt that I could make and this video is just what I was looking for. I give thanks to Ryan for this video and I hope many others will watch and learn something as I did.
I loved this video. Just before I watched this one I watched another and the guy was a total professional. I think this video helped me more because the guy is honest and says that he is a beginner. His work wasn’t perfect but gave me the confidence to try it myself. Honestly, the imperfections don’t bother me either. And, he made his own, functional belt. How many ppl can say that?
I say great job...
Have you ever tried bonding an exotic skin (snake, croc, gator etc.) on to a cowhide leather belt blank? How hard can it be?
this is a great tutorial for a biggeners, your really motivated me here.. good job
With this tutorial I made my first belt. It was so fun!
Thank You! I can’t wait to make a belt, super clear and great instructions, thanks again!
It is the 1st time ever watching a video of making a belt and at the end of it I found myself slowing clapping👏 for you. Your explanations throughout the video were on point👌 & clarifying. You're a good teacher....I'll share this with my SA🇿🇦 friends
I am currently gathering everything I need to make my own belt for the first time. I am actually using your video as a guide for what to buy. I was sick of over paying for cheap belts that just didn't last.
This is awesome! Thanks so much!!
Thanks for the video. I'm just starting out and this is helpful. Nice job
Great video Ryan! Very well explained! This looks like total fun!
This is great! Thank you!
This video is really awesome I hope you make more
Handmade and clean. So cool! (from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil)
Thanks!
I’m making belt for my son. I’ve been working with leather since I was young but not consistently. I have the tools, passed down from dad, and I’m trying to remember what to do with them. Your video was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Same here my parents are leather workers and they showed me how to do it when I was younger but need reminders on how to do it so I will be visiting my parents to relearn and make some money on the side.
Nice belt, I am working on a few of them as gifts right now
This is very wonderful and very awesome
I'm interested in learning how to make belts. watching many videos. looks good.
This is a good video because I wanted to try to make a custom belt because no belts in the store fit me. So I just wanted to know what tools I would need and you provide a great list so thanks. 👍
Amazing video! I'm going to start my first belt this week.
How did it go?
Nice job!!
Awesome video, wish we had a supply list of all the products you used I will just have to watch it again and write it all down thank you for making this video
Great video!
Keep it up, you'll get it
It's an amazing video lesson ❤❤
Nice work! I have been looking for a leather belt and a leather axe sheath and started thinking maybe i could make them. I might just do that. It looks like fun! Liked and subbed!
Love this vid brother 😁
Nice work dude
I'd love to see a women's cocho belt for powwow. I'm working with a 4"-wide strip and a normal-sized buckle
on my second leather belt first one had it so long that it's actually took the shape of my waist beer belly probably 20 years and it's best days so I just bought another one and I don't like it it's too wide the one you just made inch and a quarter really like that one good job thinking about making my own I am very particular with my belt awesome video thank you
This was great. I am super new to this world of leather crafting. I am actually a graduate student in biology at Notre Dame. But I am working on a concept of a belt/wallet combination. Thanks for the very helpful video! Hopefully I can make my concept come to life.
Cool on nice job
Hey thanks for this :) I'm writing some fantasy stuff and needed to know how belts were made. Way more simple than I expected.
What’cha writing?
@@lilyzalaan6308 *Ahem* fanfiction. I've been looking into how to make essentially a DIY chest plate. Which, once you break it down , has a pretty straight-forward construction.
Great commentary
I prefer Chicago Screws
This js amazing, when will you post again
Thank you for sharing! Do belts sale well?
Nice Video
Good video on the whole process. I might be wrong, but I think that buckle was fitted upside down.
Thank you for sharing . Do belts sale very well?
Watching for a school project
these belts were so common in the 90s but they're impossible to find now
Im sure after 3 years you've learned this but for any newbies watching...use the size end that matches the width of your strap. Otherwise you won't get the belt end shape right. You just get a triangle like in this video. If you just want a triangle end no need for the template.
What roller leather hand punch do you recommend? Thanks
Great video, do you sew leather as well? What machine do you use if so? I want to make a full leather wallet. Any idea where I can get a pattern for a tri fold or bi-fold?
since the belt is for you I would suggest only putting a couple of holes in it since you know your size
Enjoyed your tutorial. I'm getting ready to make my first belt. I'be been studying all the pros for the past few months. It was refreshing to see someone closer to my level knocking a belt out relatively easy.
Curious, how wide was your groove? What size Oval punch did you buy for the latch to stick into?
Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. I'll be on the lookout for your new vids in the future.
I have a question. why do you prefer stitching instead of using the rivets now? Just curious. Im working on a belt, and I want to use the best preferred method.
So interesting Sir. Please Sir can I have a list of your simple tools
Hi Ryan. I'm a woodworker just now getting into leather. I'm going to try to make a belt like this for a first project.
My goal though, is to build a new office desk and cover the surface in one entire sheet of leather. What do you think of the idea?
That's great job!I'm going to start making belts but my problem is how to get tools for start making ,so how can I get full set of tools?please I'm serious,I'm from Tanzania East Africa Waiting for your reply soon
Thanks
Very nice. Question 1: how can you make the belt soft?
2,I usually use vegetable leather, which other type of leather can I use?
3. What do you do for black stain not to leave dirty patches on trauser
4. How do you cut the belt in straight line? Thanks
hi can have me a name of all your tools in making this belt thanks solid suporter
I desire better quality than store bought. I want to make my own.
What brand of rivets do you use?
Do you put designs on belts?
Where do you buy your leather
hi im from the philippines what material i need to start my small business belt?
❤
New video to C a belt with 2 tone; like 2 or 3 mm on the sides w black in the center. Would you tape off the center or use wax then remove it.
Nice work I had a great time watching.
My question is how can I get the tools you used in smoothing the edge of the belt in my Country?
I'm based in Nigeria 🇳🇬
The burnisher I own is just a piece of smooth wood with grooves in it. You could probably make one yourself with some sandpaper and something to seal a piece of wood. I don't know what that is called, epoxy I think
iWant to know about the name of all your tools
Someone need to show Philza Minecraft this XD
List of the supplies and tools you used.
How much did it cost you to make?
Cícero lima santana
What size edge beveler did you use?
He mentioned #2.
Good day sir,pls how can u get me those instruments?
You're going to be on thetanster.com
Is this a 4 Strength, 4 Stam leather belt?! Ahhh... Level 18?!
Hi
Where can I buy the leather ?
I am asking the same
Hi sir
Will u plz send me 3 pure real original leather black belt for me...
Could you show the finished product more before you end the video?
И инструменты есть хорошие, а руки .......
Единственный годный коммент)))
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
I sure hope after 10 years this guy actually learned how to make a belt. I am new and could only get thru 3.29 min of this video and already know he is not doing anything correct. Dude that was a twist punch you were trying to use without twisting it.
Next time you fill your car up with gas, grab a handful of the plastic gloves.
Ryan...! Ma se non sei capace, perché fai i video tutorial? Sorry! 😌😕😜
DO NOT SHOW THIS TO MY FATHER
not so that good workmanship
Lies
Ugly belt .. The original tan was perfect
you talk too much,
Sorry mate, but you should have made another hundred belts before doing a video. The finished product was nothing short of trash.
I wouldn't put your name to it.
