    It's a piece of piss.  You need a screw driver, a sharp knife and a hole punch or drill…...

    Ah, so this translates into "it's a piece of cake" around here. Understood.

      That is a correct interpretation….

      We have piece of cake too, but PoP just has a better cadence to it…..

            G, great video. Just when I was looking at my belt yesterday to do the same. Looks like it is now time. What is the name of the hole punching tool you use?

                    a drill works fine as well if you don't have a punch. not as clean, but you'll never see it anyway.

                              …and here he goes. I was serious. With bigger/heavier hammer you don't have to pound so much to make a hole with a punch....Oh, well.

                              BTW do you know what is a Russian Ass-Buzzer like? (I remember you spent time in east block way back then...)

                              Well.... It doesn't fit in yer ass, and it sure doesn't buzz.... 😃

                                  Hi all

                                  I recently bought the Iron Heart IH-02 belt in natural. I've had it about a week and it's incredible, the best belt i've ever owned.

                                  My question to the board is should i hit it with the Obernaufs leather oil now to protect it straight from the off, or wait a while?

                                  Also if i do decide to oil it now, do I coat the inside of the belt as well as the outside?

                                  Any/ all thoughts greatly appreciated

                                    All down to personal choice.  Bear in mind that the colour will change once you apply an oil.  Take a look here:

                                      Not to be a downer, more for the potential enlightenment that I hope ensues. The cracking along the edge of my belt is annoying.   Prefer the aging of my sugarcane.

                                        I too prefer the IHB-01 over the 02. The 01 is one héll of a belt, whereas the 02 feels like a plastic toy in comparison…

                                          I think the 01 and 02 share same leather, only difference is hardware, surprised you would find such a difference seul
