                Finn, very nice, gives satisfaction, doesn't it?

                Where did you get that buckle? From x-kaijin-x?

                and just for the looks, make 2 more holes for the buckle, if I may say so

                  thanks a lot ladies and gents!

                  IJ - yap…wearing it as i write...fells good somehow 🙂
                  buckle and screws are from a sufu-member named "zissou"...he`s also a leather-artisan so he shipped them to me for like 10bucks!...

                  somehow i like the clean look of just one hole in it. its only me wearing the belt, so one hole is enough...but well see. thanks anyway mate 😉

                        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…

                            same here. And getting good thick leather here in Finland is hard. Also finding the right hardware is a task.

                            Finn I'm not on sufu, so does that zissou guy have a website or something? (Though I dont need anything at the moment)

                                very cool finn took me a while to figure out what all those little bits next the the belt were [the leather shavings].

                                thanks Seul going to grab a couple now.

                                      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.
