He didn't speak a word and yet I learned more from him than all the other videos I watched combined. Brilliant and beautiful craftsmanship.
So true.
We have a leather belt manufacturing workshop in Iran I have to tell you that most of the production steps of leather belts in our workshop are done by different machines Belt cutting, belt thinning, belt edge color, belt buckle fastening staples and rivets, belt printing and design, belt holes, etc. I have to tell you that as an artist, your work is really unique All the steps of the belt production, from cutting to finishing, were done by hand with the highest possible quality You are truly unique Greetings from IRAN♥️🇮🇷🙏
Greetings from America
به صرفه تر نیست چنتا کچل بلا مثل همین استخدام کنین که همه کارا رو خودشون انجام بدن؟
@@siavasharash5448 داداش اینطوری باشه که روزی یکی هم به زور تولید میکنیم😂👌
Move your business out of Iran .
Are woman allowed to wear them?
Great work/Beautiful belt ! As my Pappy said....,"Son, he said ' It is a pleasure to watch a man work if he knows ehat he is doing,"
At last, a real craftsman. Totally awesome work. A rarety in today's world.
As a artisan of the same craft I can tell you this is a very high quality belt. The materials used are the best for longivity. The custom chicago screws are just awsom and another skill completly. Whom ever gets this belt will have it many many years ! side note , nothing lays a stich like an Adler.
«The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.»

Machine is very good. Ilike
Mãos mágicas.
@@jakub8860 Why dont you piss off.
You are right about the Adler. I have a 205-374 and love it.
Шикарный ремень!!! Настоящий МАСТЕР. Мастерская иинструметы впечатлили!!
Beautiful belt made from beautiful fine tuned craftsmanship. I would love to own one of your custom belts one day and wear it with pride.
I really like the "Burnish Mitten"! Very good idea I will have to borrow.
A burnishing glove is a huge time saver. I use #10 Cotton Canvas Duck.
@BMGeisler is it just a cotton canvas glove or is it a special kind of glove?
Your the only one I’ve ever seen use that knife, in 40 years. Neat.
It's 1.30am and I'm watching you make belts..... fantastic video, outstanding craftsmanship and skills
Nothing wrong with that, 0130 is as good a time as any.
I got mine! Exactly what is shown in the video (except I didn't opt for any fancy do-dads). Just what I've been looking for. No corners cut, no compromise on materials. Makes me smile every time I put it on. You gotta dig deep for this level of workmanship, but considering the effort put in, I honestly think I got a bargain! Folks, a belt like this will last you for decades at least! Highly recommended.
Im going to get one with all the fancy do-dads.
It literally amazes me the amount of God given talent individuals have such as this gentleman. For some reason he skipped me over. Beautiful work brother.
You & me both, oh well we’ll just have to appreciate others work, we know good work when we see it
Man. I was mesmerised this whole video. What art. What craftsmanship. True inspiration. I want to emulate this.
An artisan makes his craft look simple: his eye is sharp, his hand is steady, his tools obey his every command.
One who creates with the motions of an orchestral conductor, the leather is his symphony.
❤
Mr. Ben Geisler that is great work on that belt. Thanks for sharing your talents. I hope that one day I can build a belt half as good as your belt.💯🤠
Absolutely beautiful belt! I loved getting to watch you make this! Nice job Ben! Can’t wait to see the next one!

Ben, that’s a dandy! Great work on the video. Delighted by the metalwork, too.
Great video and awesome editing! I feel this goes unnoticed when done correctly cause everything just flows and glares at you when done poorly. This story was captured beautifully but I could not help but notice how dang quite the shop is! I would love to be able to create and work in such a space and environment. Great work Ben and team!
