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

[Finn666]

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

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

[Blackheart]

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…

[Finn666]

^yap, thats the way its gonna be i guess

just need to cop some tools for doing all those things and i neew to know where i``ll get my leathers from in future…

[injunjack]

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)

[Finn666]

^going to pm you in the next couple of minutes/hours,when I can get my ass outta bed
just browsing with the iPhone atm…

[jimmy]

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.

[van Olzon]

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

[Finn666]

yap will do sir ;)…

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.

yap scott is a really great guy to deal with and a great artisan…great stuff he does!

[Finn666]
