dude the finished bealt looked sweet, you can see that there i passion in the work, great job dude.
What you're explaining @ 10:50 is called a Bend Radius, and it refers to the additional length needed on a bending object to compensate for its thickness. Fantastic looking belt, by the way. Greetings from a fellow professional leather worker in Charlotte NC
Ah! This is what I've been looking for! Is there a good formula to calculate it? I make belts that often have a lot of O rings and have been having trouble getting the right size for people. (I'm in Australia, so we don't use ounces, the leather i get is normally 2.7mm or 3.5mm thick)
*Internal circumference* is the measurement you need to know for the final size. Most people measure the *outside* and do not account for the most important - the *internal.*
It's no different than people - their *inside* measurement (character) is what matters, not the external size, appearance, or claimed features.😉
Just for reference - the difference between the inside radius and outside radius caused by the thickness is simple "2*pi*thickness" so roughly ~6.5 times thickness. Even with thick leather ( 5 mm, 12 oz ) the difference is not much, like 3cm, 1.5 inches.
And that is the maximum difference, in reality it will be smaller as the inside of the belt is compressed but the outside stretched a little, so more like 4-5 times thickness.

when you are on the sizing step of making the belt, for the waist, and your customer is not in reach and impossible to do it in person, why not tell your customer to measure their waist with pants on, then flip your custom belt over, so you are exposed to the inner size of the belt, mark the first pin/hole the buckle goes through, then all the way to your favorite hole. You should have an exact dimension. The outer part of the belt is the thicker side, which is somewhat just for decor, the inner part is the contact side. Anywho, Try this theory, if it works, i want royalties for all future belts and compensations and free belts for liiiiiiiiiiife sonn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol no seriously thinking this might actually work sir. Let me know! thumbs up! Subscribed!
Thank you for the value and awesomeness... Where can I find the buckles and hide suppliers. Thank you in advance 😎👊🏼
What size oblong punch do You use for the holes ?
Great stuff. BTW, I love the product photography on your site. Very well done.
A young man who is full of energy , so sympathetic with a big smaile, a giving man, and also a good leathercraft teatcher. I wish you all the best. Konstantinos from Grecce.
Good job, I love it
“All the way down to my favorite hole….” Right on bro.
Thanks for the vid, I bought myself a christmas present a leather sewing machine, I caught your comment on make sure there is enough thread in the bobbin LOL, guess what i didnt, oh well lesson learned.
Thank you for helping an amateur trying to get started in a new hobby. Your love for your craft, and passion is inspiring.
Thanks so much Tait!
I have always used mink oil on the final coat after letting the neatsfoot set for two weeks in the cooling room and two weeks in the dark, dry room at 72 F and 30% humidity. This really sets the oils in the leathers. I loved your video! I think as the economy fluctuates we will need more crafts-persons. Especially we don’t want the leather skills and craft to go extinct. We’re looking forward to adding a custom furniture and cabinetry crafts shop onto our current 10,000 sq’ leather shop. We haven’t got out on the internet because of such high demand locally at county fairs, word of mouth etc. also...the whole problem of not being able to set down with a customer over a coffee and cigar and listen to what they REALLY - R E A L L Y. Want so we don’t end up with a return that was crafted for a specific person and has 100 hours into it! One last note..we use pressed, boiled and filtered tobacco juice as a vat coloring process. The smell is outa this world and it really has a nice ‘stink’ on a summer day when a room warms up.
Absolutely fantastic videos man. Your videos have helped inspire me to get into leather working! Thanks for taking the time to make these incredibly helpful tutorials.
Hello
I really like your UA-cam videos.
I am taking my first leather class (belt making) on Nov 10th
Cheers
Been watching many of your tutorials on line and appreciate your honesty and time spent. I'm 61yrs old, retired, a blacksmith of 10 years and now am adding leatherwork to my hobbies.
Again, thank you for your time and effort.
God bless you and your family.
I totally dig your teaching style and your skill level. The Hollywood rigs are interesting but I'd sure love to see a historically accurate circa 1880s rig in one of your next videos.
E.U.A = veg tan
Brazil = atanado espessura fina ou Sola espessura acima de 2.5mm
When I need to mind an inner diameter, I just attach a stitching measuring tape to the piece and fold it in the aproximated shape I want. Then I don't have to make guesses and I've got the measure I needed.
Love it bro! Great work, that’s the same kind of look and feel I love too. It’s clean, elegant, and a workhorse all in one. I could never find a belt in the stores that I really loved and felt just right, plus something about making your own belt feels really rewarding haha. Keep up the great work!

Hello,
Why didn't you glue pieces of leather together and then cut the straps?
Waste of leather
What’s the cost and time required to make?
Hii ..I am from Kanpur in India ... leather industrial factory... I'm manufacturer original Lether belt and cost of leather belt 3$
My contact number is +916386148181
Hey, Parker. I have seen a few belt makers skiving the buckle end to get the leather to bend easier and reduce the thickness when the 2 edges meet, because the thickness is doubled if not, however I noticed you did not. Any reason? Reason I ask is I find my skiving is not great and I wondered if it was actually necessary. Cheers! Tom, Scotland.
Thomas Ireland thanks bud, I’m learning so much with the comments.
He is using an offset belt buckle, it doesn't interfere with the doubled up thickness where it attaches and everything lines up.
You're better off gluing two sides that are larger than the desired belt width. Once glued, then trim BOTH sides to the desired width.
For example, you want a 1.5" belt. Glue two 2" sides. Then run it through your strap cutter @ 1.75" wide (trim 1/4" off), then run it through again and cut the other side @ 1.5" wide (trim the other 1/4" off. There's three big benefits to doing it that way:
1. You don't have to worry about getting the edges exactly lined up perfectly. Close is good enough.
2. Your sides are perfectly aligned once trimmed.
3. When you trim the edges you also trim off any glue ooze on your edges.
One other tip, buy a "Push / Pull Beveler", also called a "Bissonnette Beveler". They are so much easier to work with because they work pulling and pushing. But the really cool thing about them is that if you skip off the edge they won't gouge/ruin the leather which standard bevelers are prone to do.
Serious Karaoke he’s trying to limit scrap. Same goes for woodwork. You want to limit scraps.
What you explained he can make an extra belt for every 3 belts his way compared to your your method. Time isn’t money here it’s materials.
Anyways, I get your methods because I would do the same.
Wow, never knew a belt required quite so much work. I really like the oval holes that prevent the buckle tine from warping out (when the hole is round). Also like your English point guide. Looks like a must-have for belts and straps too! Great and successful tutorial!
Great work! Love that belt! I had the same problem with belt sizing so I got a piece of 3mm thick bendy plastic and made an adjustable hoop which can be set to the actual size of the persons' waist measurement and then I can wrap the belt around it and I know it'll be right every time. I make sure I get the customer to put the measuring tape through their belt loops and not just on their skin!
Loving your videos, Keep em coming!
Great job, thank you for all the good info
Thanks so much for the video, very informative. What's the price for a belt just like that one ? + or -
Nice. Thanks for the videos.
hello from australia love what you man its a very imformative videos you keep the vids comeing
Will do, Thanks Mario!
Thanks Mario! Glad you're here!
where can i get one?
@@whitandpark an assistance plz on a full furnished workshop equipments......#chrissjane11@gmail.com
Hello Thanks for the video, I'm just getting started working with leather, I enjoy watching your work.
This is an awesome tutorial for belt making and I really like the board you made to hold the belt in place. Nicely done sir👍
I love that you are so thorough! It helps us newbies a lot.
Thank you Rosa!
Just starting out with this as a hobby. Nice video. Never would have thought of glueing two thin pieces together to make a holster or belt. Makes it easier to control thickness, plus having two smooth sides. Where would you recommend buying tools and leather?
nice work
Andy here, HI from San Augustine Texas.
What size needle are you using?
since I'm using sz.92 thread I'm using a 110/18 needle

Ive heard the neats food oil will rub on clothes and stuff with hot weather, how do you prevent oil from rubbing on your pants after this oil?
Sweet
I don't know much about you but ... you are hardworking & generous. Thanks for sharing your knowledge & skill. God bless you. Love from India.

Hi, do you always glue 2 straps of leather for the belts? or do you also use a single strap's for belts?
Single straps could easily take the stress if they are thick enough, but you have to somehow finish the flesh side, since it would easily become really fuzzy and leave pieces all over your pants. Tokonole kinda works, wax I guess also does, but the most foolproof way is still combining two straps so there is no open flesh side.
Great little vid. Been enjoying many of your vids, actually. I'm a couple months new to leather working and starting to get into small projects; journals, coasters, debossing patches - all for giving away as Christmas presents this year. My day job is a Sales Manager at company that owns a score of laser systems... so I can get all my patterns cut for free (it's good to be related to the owner!). Anyway, learning a lot from your videos. I might give a try at making a belt. One heavy enough to use for CC. Thanks for sharing.
This Old LEATHER SMITH has a suggestion, buy the product wood workers use 4 there projects not 2vmove around, it comes in a roll, put this on your Belt holder and it will stay put until U want 2 move it, I use it all around my shop on bottle bottoms, I had one fall on the floor and break not any more. I also put it on my long and short clamps 4 when I buck stitch and lace. GOD'S BLESSINGS BROTHER ✝️⚾🙃
man I been struggling with a few steps on belt making because I'm a tight wad but that board with groves to hole the belt is nothing short of GENIUS, having said that I shall make me one ASAP
I'm just getting started with leather work to make sheaths for the knives I make and your channel has been a big help thank you
Why do you use prime neatsfoot oil, not 100% Pure Neatsfoot Oil? 100% pure neatsfoot oil is better, or not? :D
Hi!
Nice job.
Local santa has a santa suit from Hollywood California cost over a $1000 came with a piece of c*** black belt.
He has asked me to make a belt for him and I am so excited.
I have made a couple nicknames and 4 knife sheaths.
One thing about the santa belt is it really does nothing structurally it just has to fit around the jacket through the belt loops.
That setup probably used a 5/6 leather I'm not sure what they have at my store.
Any disadvantage to making the belt from one piece os 14oz leather instead of gluing up two 7oz pieces?
Chuck at weaver adds 9 1/2 to your waist size??
No need to reply but thank you for your time and for sharing. I'm in the beginning phase of leather craft at the age of 52. I find this type of work will allow me to be creative and expressive. Thanks again
Good for you Mike! Thanks for the kind words and best of luck
Thanks for a great Video. Id gathered my leather, buckle etc and was just trying to decide on belt style. n
Now I know ;-)
I have a question sir.which belt leather more strong and long life for you ? Buffalo or cow ?
LOL yes "Round" up i know what your speaking of... Enjoy your videos very informative.
Did you put the neatsfoot compound on the backside of the belt....??
Thank for your inspiring video. I love it.
Will it be possible to make the english point with a free hand knife and a template rather than an expensive punch?
Really nice work I wish I had a sewing machine for making belts and Bible cases, I’ve done them by hand and it tacks to long co i don’t make that many
I not sure if you still use the same method for edges or have changed up, but im experimenting with new edge finishing methods and would be curious to hear your thoughts. Would tokonole help eliminate the water and saddle soap steps? I've always done almost the exact same process, you presented here, but I'm wondering if a few steps/minutes can be knocked out by using tokonole.
I just wanna know how long my belt would be if my waist line is 29 inches?tnx..
Can you saddle stitch the buckle on instead of a rivet? Also, could you post the exact tools you use so we can buy them? Thanks.
Never size a belt according to pant size. Each pant manufacture has their own measuring standard that does not correlate to actual inches or centimetres. This is especially true when it comes to women sizes. If you take actual measurements of different manufacturers pants such as Levis, Wrangler, Dockers that all label there pants as 38 inch you will find three different actual measurements most likely all greater than 38 inches. I think they intentionally label them with a lower measurement to make people feel better about their waist measurement.
What size punch did you use to make the holes for the belt
what model is your juki sewing machine
What, please, is the weight/type of canvas that you use for your buffing bag?
It shouldn't be that hard to calculate the distance based on the thickness of the leather. A simple 2*pi*r will solve the problem
I’m making some belts for some friends, but one of them has an allergy to metal. Is there a way to make a buckle with leather? Would the buckle be able to withstand the abuse of a construction worker?
Giving away my secrets with the ease of that buckle lol
Thank you for this video. It is helpful for a beginner like me.
Please let me know the price per belt ,and also what qty should I order I want to sell it in my shop in India, and whether someone can help me ex stock here locally.
Thanks for the inspiration.
I'm new to it and scared of buying tooling leather cuz i think a drop of water fell on some i had already and it rotted over time. How can that be avoided? Neat seat oil? I see the saddle soap here but did mine rot cuz it was too humid without any treatment or oil or will all rot?
I just can’t get over the fact that the thickness of the belt matters in the measurement of the holes I don’t get it a measurement is a measurement no matter what still 38 inches or what ever it is it’s such a small amount of thickness that it shouldn’t make a difference you would think I guess I’ll find out soon about to make a few of them love your vids thanks
I have a question about using pure neatsfoot oil or here used neatsfoot oil compound? whats is the difference?
I love you video so so much. Pls I will like to start up with a project to make belt. How do I get the equipments I need?
What size oval punch did you use to make the actual belt adjustment holes? I don’t need a whole set of these punches just yet...thanks.
where do you get those punching oval tools? and that is a nice heavy duty belt, 👍
Thought I might let you in on a little secret about getting the length right. Make you measurement on the inside of the belt. Boom. No more problems
Speak to a math teacher. The thick mean out eage is long than inside by the thickness. But it will be. Constant.
Hi
The phenomenon you're trying to explain is based on the relationship between inner and outer circumference of the belt in a circle. Regardless of the fact that the belt is a constant length on the top or bottom while laying flat, once it encircles your waist, it becomes a 3 dimensional object with different outer and inner dimensions. Think of it as a car tire. A tire is considered a specific "diameter size." Yet, if you measure AROUND the outside diameter and inside diameter, the measurements, while NOT great, are different. As a former mechanical Engineer for 21 years, I ran into this problem in my work on an almost daily basis. I know this may sound confusing, but it is a fact. I hope this helped in some way and didn't just add more confusion to your already confused state? :~))))
God bless:
Stoney
Similar to plumbing: *inner* and outer *diameter measurements* on pipes & fittings.
*Belts,* when applied around a waist, are essentially similar to a "short length pipe" and *have to be measured internally* in the same way, regardless of wall diameter (material thickness).
Stoney327 >There is an easy ‘methification’ to solve your expansion dilemma on the belts... (1 / 64 x Oz ) x L + OD = final length needed to cut for belt to fit properly... in other words.. your using 8 oz leather, leather is measured in 1/64ths per ounce for purposes of thickness, so you multiply 1/64th x ‘Oz’) or Thickness in ounces, then multiply that result times the necessary final size needed.. let’s say 40” for a big fella, now add THAT RESULT (in this case 5”) to the 40” fo a total of 45”..BUT WAIT!!! That’s just enough to make it around and touch ends! A lousy belt to be sure! So you add your desired length for buckle attachment at one end and holes at the other..say 4” for the buckle end and 6”-8” (depending on customers desires and weight fluctuations!) so your needed length would be 55”-57” total length! This comes up in clothing all the time. If the customer finds the edge smooth and comfy they might wear the belt tighter and under their belly flop but if the edge is slightly rough and irritating causing them to wear it over the belly adding a necessary 10”-20” to the needed design... I go to fairs and cut custom belts of up to 100”+/- and can sell them for $150.00 but they must be at least 10 ounce by 2” wide without blemish in order to hold the.....stresses....put to them! That’s a price with minimal decor, pressed initials and a couple carved roses. These guys know the big and tall stores can’t beat the quality or the price!
Over complicated explanation as clear as mud to the non nerdy type, written like a true engineer ;). Coming from an engineering student interning through school
You're the Man! A serious for real using belt for popping brush on using String Horses in Lonesome Dove Country. Great help. Semper fi
Thanks so much Dave✊🏼🙏🏼
@@whitandpark I've followed your presentations. & fully appreciate your signature style & delivery as you produce Leather results with Master Craftsmen skill and intentions. Keep on keeping on! You make the difference!
Just what to say I love what your doing, both in your craft and your videos. Great job, very entertaining, keep it going!
Wow, you've come a long way brother.
Is there a reason for using 2 layers of leather vs 1 thicker layer? Would the same go for making a dog collar?
First-time watcher just saw you on the pay open page and the figure hey I'll give it a shot damn good project I'm just starting in leather and you give me a lot of good tips thanks a lot man keep on doing what you do
Hey Parker! Loved this video. Question: what's your cost breakdown to make a belt like this? Materials, tools, time? I have a small golf retail business and wanted to get teach myself how to create small custom accessories for my customers. My goal was to make roughly 100 pieces per month, something new each month. I'd be giving these products (belts, key chains, bag tags) away for free, so I was hoping to make everything myself to reduce costs. There really aren't a ton of resources that breakdown cost + time for these projects. Any info would be so much appreciated. Thanks, Parker!
Thanks Nik! Sounds like a cool idea. I'm actually building an online course where I go in depth on pricing and cost breakdowns. If you sign up your email here, i'll let you know as soon as it's available.

I mainly focus on selling and marketing your products, but also brand building, and some more granular things like pricing. Should be super helpful for your business
Total different question. Can you recommend what tools to get to start
I am a new subscriber and I find your work very helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I would think that the added length needed would be more due to clothing like heavy jeans, just my thought.
You need to get them up on the site big guy. The dopp kit too
Hi Where can I buy accessories for the belt?
How far back should the start of that ovlon hole begin on the buckle. I dont have a punch so I'll have to do two holes and cut between
Great job bro..love from india 🇮🇳
Great videos and your craftsmanship is awesome. Makes me want to give it a try, Thanks for showing us how it’s done.
where do you buy your bucle thank you and congratulations
I live in Ogden. Love your work. Would really like a belt like this just darker in color. More or a brown.
