As a person who owned his own custom leather shop, I've made hundreds of belts, but your video taught me something new... the little leather tag in the second belt loop keeper loop! Awesone1 Wish I had known about that when I was making belts for my customers.
Don't spend it all at once, George!😁 Your tips and tricks from hard learned experience are wonderful to see and a great help when put into practice. Please keep them coming! 👍👍👍
Nice one Georgie, I really like the extension method, very cool. And just so you know, YOU AIN'T ALLOWED to retire. We need you to share your ingenious tips, tricks and know-how.
Great video George ! I have found something, a little nugget so to speak, in all of your videos. Proof that you can never stop learning. Thanks for taking the time to share. Hope that $7 bucks dont throw you in a higher tax bracket!! Haha
Thanks George for the tips you've shared with us. You have shown me easier ways to do several operations in your videos, better than I called myself doing ok. A wise man once said "give a job to a lazy man, he'll figure out the easiest way to get it done." Well, THIS lazy man thanks you for your tricks and tips that will help me get more done in my "kitchen table" shop situation! Have you ever dip-dyed leather? Chuck over at Weaver loves doing that with the Pro dyes from Fieblings... I find it quick and simple, being lazy! 😉 I've watched ALL your vids once, several many times to get your method squared away, and can't wait to see what else you've got to teach us! Thank you for your work in the Craft, you are appreciated!!
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate these kind words John I love your quote and I will use that line for sure:) A lot of what I’ve done thru the years was just that and now I have a great way to say it! Thank you and I can so relate to a kitchen table workshop I do a lot of dip dying and find it makes a fairly quick and effective method to dye items, even tho the prep and cleanup is alittle time consuming Thanks again for taking your valuable time to share your kind words. It truly helps motivate me to know that and yes I will continue to do more videos. I have been nursing an injury so I’ve been out of the shop for a bit. I must remember I’m no spring chicken anymore 😂
Loved watching it again, you always pick up something u missed the last time. Plus this helps me out in setting up my own work area. Most was just for knife making but now that ive watched all your videos ive devoting more space for leather work. Great job again Victor.
Thank you Larry! I’m so glad it helped you dabble more into sheathwork I am jealous that you have knifemaking skills that goes so well with leatherwork!!! Thanks for such kind words and I look forward to seeing your leatherwork grow
Well, I have been watching ....well maybe not watching, but I let EVERY ad run while waiting for your video to start, so, get ready for a BIG pay raise the next time the eagle screams...lol Seriously though, I'm loving this series. Going to watch #9 now. Keep up the great work.
Just found your channel. Love it. Please keep the videos coming. If you've ever made one, please show how to measure for a Ranger Style belt. Thanks for sharing. crd
Hey no this is nit picking and video is informative but better sound/ microphone is really something that I note on my channels that I like to watch. Just trying to help you grow your channel as good as you can. Thanks for the information by the way.
@@dmitryk754 Hello Dmitry I use this type of slot punch for thick tongued buckles The fat part where the tongue bar wraps around the center bar can be problematic on a skinny slot They used to sell a slot punch for that very purpose but it’s been discontinued Thanks
Hope you can help me. Am making myself a belt. How can you cut (trim) the belt end WITHOUT a belt end punch? As this most likely is the only belt I"ll make, do not want the expense to buy one!
I can help but not sure if I can explain it easy enough. Take a piece of paper or card stock and fold it in half If your belt is 1.5” wide draw a line 3/4” from the fold line. Draw in a point down about 1.5” and cut out There’s your English point for your belt tip If you do InstagramDM me and I can show you with a picture in seconds Thank you @viktorgeorgeleathergoods
Thanks again John The only money belts I make are for cowboy gun belts where there’s an opening between at the buckle end for loading it with Morgan silver dollars. What you’re describing requires a zipper splitting the liner Unfortunately I’m not a zipper guy You’ll have to educate me when you’re done😂 I’m confident you’ll do well
That was pretty terrific! Really - I need more thumbs!
@@DivineMisterAdVentures Indeed 😂 It’s the most underrated appendage of the hand Thank You🙌

Why not use a regular slot? Why use the funky triangular one?
