this wholesome video has inspired me to begin my first steps into leathercraft. Thank you! and cheers other leather crafters out there
What an awesome professional eloquent video!!! You are a very cool guy!!! Thank you for answering my questions. I found a vintage Gucci belt buckle that I want to add to a belt I already have that has an unattractive buckle.
Great video Chuck. I use to be a 34" when I was a teen but now ya just reverse the numbers and even ad a little. It has become easier to make my own belts for my size. I am enjoying making belts and other leather stuff (with inspiration from your videos) to outfit my family. Everyone likes my stuff except for the vegan in the family. I told them that "veggie tan" meant that the leather was made from vegetables. Weaver products are great quality and with all this video support elevates your company. Thank You
Thank you so much!
This might be the best tutorial video for anything that I've ever seen
I know! His enthusiasm is contagious. This man could move mountains if he truly wanted.
Is your cutting board marble?
Hi Jennifer,
The marble is used as a surface to stamp and tool on, or as a base for a cutting or punching board. You don't want to cut or punch directly on the marble or it will ruin your blades but it helps give a sturdy base when you add a cutting board on top.
Buckle failed on years 🤣
I've got waaay too many cheap belts
This guy just made me look at my belt in a whooooole new way, lol. Seriously though, smooth talk!
Thank you. Try clear nail polish in those Chicago screws and around the back of the leather of each screw or concho. Also thanks for the sharpie edge tip. Plastic cutting boards. Belt blanks. Wooden mallet. Cutting tool. And ruler.
Wish you sold already made belts!! I don’t have time or money to make em but could use a nice leather belt. Also for professional informative video! Unlike my english
Thank you. Where can l purchase belt buckles. My local store did not have them
Thank god I found your video because this buckle was about to go through the wall 👍🏽
Great stuff, got hold of a raw REAL leather belt after bying fake, :(... thanks for the video.

You look familiar. Does Norcross, GA sounds familiar to you?
Yes, Norcross is very familiar! I was the manager there for about six years.

Finally someone who knows what their taking about
I have a 50mm wide belt
And buckle that would for 40mm wide belt
Is there a way to use the buckle for the 50 mm wide belt please ?
You would have to taper both the end that attaches to the buckle and the ends with the adjustment holes. Here is a video showing how to taper the ends of your strap. ua-cam.com/video/sgYVO1l4HDU/v-deo.htmlsi=GD7yB7bEqnoVaR4U
I was hoping you’d demonstrate how to place what you call a heel buckle!
Here after the Rose Anvil moc toe boot video you guys sponsored. I was going to buy an $80+ dollar belt somewhere, but now I'm thinking about using the money for tools to make my own
Thanks for checking out our channel, James! You can absolutely make you own belt and you'll feel good knowing you made it yourself. If you do try it, make sure to let us know how it goes and have fun!
@@WeaverLeatherSupply I'm not sure I caught it in the video but... The width of the belt buckle is the same of the actual belt right? For example if a belt buckle width is 35 mm then the belt itself needs to be 35 mm? Thanks man great video!
Hey 👋 it’s me again, so Chuck encourages oil dyes. Would I need oil paint if I want to paint then? I use Feibings pro dye and finish with their atom wax. I was a painter for years oil and water not so great together. Thanks for your videos and always responding 👍
Hi!
We recommend using acrylic paints which work well on plain leather or on top of dyed leather. The Feibing's Pro Dye does not have enough oil content to create any unwanted reactions with the paint. However, we don’t recommend using paint on oily leathers as the oil will keep the paint from adhering well. Thank you for watching!
Beautiful belt!! I love those colours together! ☺️💖
Great video:)
I'm working on a belt now and I used the largest size punch on my rotary punch when punching out the holes for the buckle. I haven't tried it out yet. Would that hole size be too big?
Hola una consulta hacen envios de herramientas a chile y acaso hay algun catalogo de herramientas
Wow, you have a great Hosting Personality. Your engaging to learn from, very professional, enthusiast, and knowledgeable!
Thank you for helping me put the belt I disassembled back together again, I just could not figure out how to put the buckle back on!
where can I get them screws at ? I see them on eBay but idk the size of my holes I found the blank belt at a thrift store how do I measure the hole circumference ?
What a neat hobby. Wish I had known about this years ago. Great instruction!
Thanks for the video, very informative
Very helpful 🙃
I can never get the holes to line up straight when I use the rotary punch.
Hey chuck, You always do a great job in your teaching and what you are showing us.... thank you. I'am having a major problem with my edgebevelers. I,am destroying the ones I have. I CAN'T GET THEM SHARP AT ALL? I,am getting very frustrated with my self, Its in the middle of the edge? I've tried just about everything and watched a lot of videos.....nothing is working for me...... can you help me with one of your UA-cam videos? Thanks kevin.u
Hi Kevin,
Have you watched the sharpening video? We'll link it below for you, it shows using both a strop and thread to sharpen the edger.

Chuck, l made the mistake of putting some chrome tanned leather on the back of a belt for a lining and it turned the brass buckle green. I had to replace with stainless and l didn't use Chicago screws, but rivets instead so it wasn't so easy to remove. l do believe I'll go with the screws from now on. Luckily I made it for me and not a customer. Just a heads up for anyone. Is that crackled leather veg or chrome tanned?
Hi there,
Great reminder, we've been there too!
The crackled leather is a veg tanned water buffalo in Antique Brown. This is available in 8/9 oz. as a single bend or you can buy the pre-cut belt blanks.
