Newly acquire this solid brass Garrison buckle.

A clipped corner buckle is one of my favorites. Don't see many with matte finish. Very nice.

I got some new goodies in recently, so I decided to make myself a new belt for the summer.

What is most attractive to me about this belt are the tear drop holes. Very nice. I bet when punching them they would be hard to keep horizontal to the side of the belt especially when punching through 14 oz leather.

Join the leatherworker.net forum. They have a section devoted to belt crafting. They also have a few tutorials.

There is also a book called Belts Galore by Al Stohlman that will tell you most everything you need to know.

Loving the new camera so much.

Also hollowsleather.com is live now. I would love feedback from anyone who is willing to give it.

What type of camera do you have?

Also, what weight thread do you use on your belts? They look good.

Nice belt. Good job. It would look nice with a leather keeper or two also.
