This series tutorial is so helpful. I have 0 experience in leather crafting before and now I have almost finished my first strap. It is by no means a good strap, but I can feel that I’m improving. I have watched all 3 parts of them multiple times and every time I re-watch it, I learned something more. Thanks for sharing this man, you are the best!

[@dripbelts]

I will do another set of these tutorials sometime later in the year, more in depth, better angles etc

Сколько стоит такое чудо?

Wouldn't using resolene crack and rub off if the belt was folded?

Could you use that oil on simulated leather to make it less stiff?

I wouldn’t recommend doing that
