New belt

Today's project. My wife wanted a belt like my kilt belt for a tartan dress she is making from the navy version of our tartan. I ordered a really neat buckle, which should be here in a couple of weeks and figured I'd get the leatherwork out of the way today while watching embarrassingly bad football games. It's 2.5" wide and tapers down a bit at the ends for a 60 mm buckle.

It was made to match her sporran-style shoulder bag (top row, far right).

Wow you do amazing work!

I really like the "distressed" sporrans on the left.

Do you make those for sale?

That looks great. I wish my sewing machine could handle thicker leather. I would like to try my hand at leather work.

You are an amazing craftsman! You piece together the most amazing things, I suppose your business lends itself nicely to making things of leather and cloth huh?

Just please don't try handcrafting a car, I couldn't handle seeing a show quality hand hammered aluminum bodied AC Cobra that you just "slapped together" from bits lying around the shop.
