          Here's a contrast shot of the wallet, easier to see how much it's darkened.

                    Thanks dude. It certainly has areas for improvement for next time and I've already modified it a couple times. I'm overall pretty happy with it though.

                                  Thanks @EastWest I love the whole set, can't say enough good things about the job @seawolf did for me. Contemplating a messenger/laptop bag to match if Zach's up to it

                                    Oh! Everything looks great! You've really given the whole set lots of love. If you want to chat about a bag, shoot me a PM. That's a big project, but you know I'm wiling to try anything!

                                      Some love for Chief Petty Officer Zach's amazing belt. Look at how this thing is evolving…

                                      Think it, be it.

                                            I'm back and it feels so good. All settled into my new house in San Diego, done with my six weeks of training, and my workbench is setup and ready to go! It's even better than before I might add. I've streamlined my space and optimized it by adding some computer speakers!

                                            The first thing that needs to happen when starting a new piece of leather for belt making, is the leather needs to be squared off. You can't cut straight strips if you first don't have a perfect edge. This is harder than it sounds.

                                            Lay the whole hide out and pick the best looking part that will yield the least amount of waste.

                                            I use a giant drywall square (48") to line up my first cut.

                                            Once that first square cut is made, then I can start using my draw gauge to cut strips for belts.

                                            Ready to go! Time to start working on the belt.
