    Leather For The Masses

    Here's the skinny:

    I have taken up leather tooling as a hobby on the side.

    I have been gifted some nice items by the rabble in the past and I would like to pay it forward (good karma for good karma) and offer an item to an X-Marker who is in need and unable to afford the purchase of some leatherwork.

    I have made a new casual belt similar to one that I made for myself a while back, the [BREN] Mark-I.

    It is a simple Celtic knotweave with a pinstripe border in antique brown finish. It will fit a waist size 32"-36".

    As a heads-up I am still learning and there are a few 'boo-boos' but overall it is a decent belt that I would wear myself (in fact, I DO often wear the older sibling of this new belt quite frequently, kilted or trousered).
    I do not have an extra buckle to include but this belt will fit a standard belt buckle. This will NOT accommodate a kilt belt buckle.





    Here are some photos:

    Before I punched the buckle holes. One of the holes was nearly mispunched but you won't notice whole wearing it.

    Yes, that is some very nice work. I've been doing leather tooling for many year, and I do not have the patience to work on belts.
