^Like that one-hole look a lot, keep it that way

Right on Finn, very nice belt…!

Making belts is lots of fun, and a good start to working with leather. Now that you've made one, you'll be thinking about the next one and all the things you can do differently- at least that's how it went for me.:) Got a new project in the planning stages right now, in fact…
-
nice work Finn
I'm also interested in this kind of buckles and hardware …
please could you PM me the info's of Zissou that you mailed to IJ too ... I would appreciate that -
Another recommendation on leather goods (belt/wallet/saddle bag etc). You can see a lot of his work/tools in here: http://s248.photobucket.com/home/unlucky62#!cpZZ5QQtppZZ16 Just click through the pages.
I have purchased a few excellent belts from "unlucky" in the U.S. It is his hobby and his asking prices are very fair. You spec. the leather (even the thickness) / colour / buckle and he will make it for you. You can even send him pictures of things (leather of course) you want and he will work with you. PM me if you want his contact information.
