Great videos Aaron. ! I buckstiched 100s of belts in the 70s for belt maker Danny Elkins in Gallup NM just a few tips . Start punching holes fron the tip end back. Measure 3.5 times the length of belt . Start lacing from the tip half of lace do a few holes then wrap exess around belt then lace back to buckle end . Come through back to outside edge . By doing half the lace its easier to work with plus you get less ware on lace . Hope this help . I agree its almost impossiblr to find buckstiching tongs . I bought your at Prescott . Thanks for making them .
Another quick tip always try to punch the holes while there is still some moisture in the belt from making it. It helps prevent a dry leather spliting disaster.
Thanks Arron. I got my patterns Friday and i was able to make a "QUICK" filed note cover out of some crap leather. It all went together really well. So, Needless to say I just may purchase the Buck Stitch tools soo as well. I was really HAPPY that the patterns were so thick . They will last at least my lifetime. Rusty (USN RET.) Glendale, AZ
Thank you for making this. Buck stitching is one thing I haven’t tried yet. Just haven’t had the opportunity to do it. But I really want to so thanks for taking the time to make this video. Those chisels look super nice. I just received my first order from y’all and couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait to go back and see what else I “need”. 😉
Thank You! We try to carry the best we can find and make it all as affordable as we can! We're Growing very rapidly and hope to always be able to help our customers grow too!
I am So glad to hear that y’all are doing good because the great service I received from you is something that will definitely have me coming back... maybe for those buckstitching chisels 😉
Nice belt, love the DG pattern and the nice touch you put on it with the piping. Also thanks for seeing the need for a better buckstitching pricking iron, great job!
This is a beautiful belt! Thank you! Good to see you do not have to check your weapon at the door! Looked at your website. Looking forward to ordering...your Ritza 25 is gnawing at me!!! Blessings and Re Jouir -Darlene (& Scott)
Really nice belt. I love buckstitching and lacing - it seems to be out of vogue these days, but I love all 50's dude cowboy stuff anyway, so I go for it! As an aside, it's been my experience (limited as it is, but learned the hard way LOL) that it's usually better to splice than to run so much lace through that many holes as the edges tend to not look so good by the time you get to the end, especially on white lace. I use the Al Stohlman method of splicing and that works very well, and it's secure. I do have a question, after you apply your antique, do you apply any other clear finish, like Tan-Kote, Supershene, Resolene or the like? Keep making great videos, a guy I know here in Austin uses your templates quite a bit, and I want to try one myself eventually! Thanks again!
Beautiful belt! At the first part you said you put finish on then this morning you put on you dye for the background? How does the dye not stick to your light part,ie flowers etc.. ?
I rewatched 😊and realized it’s antique you put on this morning after the finish.. I guess my question is did you hand paint the dye into your background ?
hi!! I have got an issue when I buckstitch with white lace, after a day the lace become brown like the dye I use for the belt . what could be the problem?
I had one it was a Nocona it had my name cut in it and I had black suede underneath my name and designs nowadays if you try to find one people don't know what the hell you're talkin about back when I had mine they were really the style

We could make them out of thinner and cheaper material- but that's Just not our style! If we ever disappoint you with a product, we will buy it back!
Which is WHY I bought them!!!! They are Outstanding
Thanks Aaron. I've been wanting to try Buckstitching. I'll put these on the list as well. Thanks for the great video.

Jorge Harada with the Angelus acrylic antique no other top coat is necessary.
I’m having trouble finding lacing needles with single prong and eye to run lace through they hold better. Most I found are two prong and it slips out
Muchas gracias
Very nice
Great video brotha, any chance you have a video of how you do the beaded border? I’m digging that look.
I can add that to my list of videos to make one day.
I would like to see a video on your antiqueing with that product
Saludos👍👍👍
I’ve gotten kangaroo lace that was evidently not skived and just ran it through my skiver not hard
Do you have a video on apply the angelus products

@@lucretiawilson8330 yes, it is dyed with a little paint brush and as steady of a hand as I can muster.
Thank you! I was having a brain **** I went back and watched your finish video 🤪
👍😉
Thumbs up
Is it required to wear a pistol while riding the stitching pony or is it optional? Thanks for your videos!
Some would say it is optional... and I disagree with those people. Ha ha ha
In Florida and Texas it's required to wear a pistol at all times. God bless a 'Murica!
Nice beautiful belt where can I get one of those stiching pony
hi!! I have got an issue when I buckstitch with white lace, after a day the lace become brown like the dye I use for the belt . what could be the problem?
Can you line a belt and buck stitch it instead of sewing it?
Definitely
I had one it was a Nocona it had my name cut in it and I had black suede underneath my name and designs nowadays if you try to find one people don't know what the hell you're talkin about back when I had mine they were really the style
When will the store we restocked?
We are constantly restocking. Tools like the ones in this video should be here in about 3 weeks.
What pattern is this? Is it still on his website?
I’d have to research and find out. This was an old one
@@makersleathersupply1220 damn. I like that one. I couldn’t find it on your site. I know it’s old video but this is about to help a lot!!
How would I start and finish a buckstitch on a passport wallet...
Watch our video on making a Tally Book Cover. It shows you how to start and stop your stitch on something like that.
What type of leather do you use for your belts and the liner?
Veg tan from Wickett-Craig or Hermann Oak

Okay, I'll bite. WHY 5/32" chisel but 1/8" (4/32") lace? Just nobody making 5/32" lace any more?
Just to have some nice and easy holes. The 5/32 lace would look a little large on this project... more for saddles and larger stuff like that.
this could have been a 10 min video....edit edit edit...nice work though
