I try to make some leather stuff myself, but not even close to the level of Jii!

You can barely see my newest creation, a kindle-pouch, here: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6199/6137706128_76abbc763c_b.jpg

So, Jii, do you sell watch straps?

Finished today some new hardware for the incoming 25oz tomorrow … 

It's a 1,5" belt with 4,5mm blank cowhide leather and a brass buckle (thx to Finn/Rafa for the hint)

[injunjack]

well well well… I have same buckles coming in, 2 black and 1 natural blanks waiting

[Finn666]

great job there vO…if i can get some new scratch i might go and do another belt or similar

[Lucifer]

Looks great! Just made one similar myself, just with a two-pronged black buckle and black thread.

Waiting for two new blanks now (natural and black).

OK so I just figured out how to post pics!

I work with colored pencil and paper.  It all started in 2005 when I decided to keep my journal on one sheet of paper, a nice sheet of course, 100+g/m (basic "drawing" paper) or more at least.  Back then I had to write in different colors so that I could see the top layer I was writing.  After time its become more about accumulation and texture than about identifying individual words.  When I write nowadays, I envision myself raking rocks in a Zen garden.

With the exception of the third pic, which is an intaglio monoprint with colored pencil on top, everything that you see was created with only drawn lines and hand written words.  After a while the paper starts to shred, and then things get interesting…

Nice belts!

I got my blanks today, 2.5" is quite.. big

[injunjack]

2,5" is too wide for jeans beltloops, isn't it?

Fit my superblacks perfectly (snug, but did not have to force them in).

ok, I tried my 2 1/4" dutybelt to my 461 beltloops. It fit but looked like after some time loops will be shred…
I'd take it on safe side and use max 2" belt. (normal "jeans" belts I'm used to are 1 3/4". Now my 1½" feels a bit narrow)

I'd say you have been warned 

[Seul]

I used to wear 2" as well… Seemed to be the maximum width for jeans... I now only wear my 1 1/2" IH belts... Just perfect...

[ChuckDenim]

Where did you get these nice buckles?
My belt is 1 3/4" , fits perfect.
