        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?

            It's a leather punch.  I bought a set of them off the bay:

            Feckin useful for all sorts of tasks…..

                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.... 😃

                            ….....does not fit in the ass, and does not buzz.. otherwise works as intended

                            EDIT: Whoops, you beat me to it....

                              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

                                          Nor pics nor my words can accurately describe the difference, but it's there and it's very noticeable  🙂 Must've been the Elton John of cows that provided for my 02…
