  • 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...

    @sloth_e Před rokem

    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.

    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.

    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
