I have one of your belts, and I absolutely love it. The only thing is that I've lost a considerable amount of weight since I've had it. I'm down to the tightest hole, and even that's fitting a little loose. I've been thinking about cutting the end and refinishing it with a burnishing tool, beeswax, and water. Am I about to ruin my belt?
Awesome, great vid and fantastic leather products! You're the guy who inspired me to start leather working and I love it! Love my OS wallets too... thanks Michael, I appreciate you!
Really enjoyed this and I am going to be lazy and start using the metal loops when I teach the belt making class @ Makers Mill. Neat looking finish. Cheers...Freddie
Hi There. Great. video. My first ever project which is to shorten my nice Ralph Lauren belt by a few inches (lost weight.... hope I can keep it off!) and I decided to do it from the buckle end rather than just punch extra holes.I was googling to find out how to thin (plane) the section that is folded around the buckle, having just noticed this feature on the original belt. Is there any guidance how to do it without your special tool that appeared for a couple of seconds? .... Thanks!
great info for someone who is getting into the craft .
Glad you found it useful!
Love your content! Got a wallet for me and a bucket bag for my wife. Good Luck!
Awesome! Thank you!
Love your work man! I ordered my first OSL wallet about 3 weeks ago, hasn’t arrived yet (I’m from Europe). I can’t wait to get it. Good luck!
Appreciate you!
Great video.
Thanks!
Love the video! Very end was the best part 😂
Haha thanks dude

No I don’t think so but if you send it to us we’ll resize it for free. Congrats on the weight loss!
@@Opensealeather Thank you so much, brother 🤙
I laughed at that second belt montage, it was almost Edgar Wright. =D
Glad you liked it!

That’s awesome! Keep at it
Really liked the video! I’m waiting on my black belt and wallet combo to reach me in Honduras
Thank you for the support and the order!
Thanks for this video! I got some scraps from a friend so I figured I'd try making a belt to replace my dying belt.
Awesome

Work smarter not harder!
It would be great to see when and how you would dye the belt.
The belt pattern seems to be taken off the site. Any idea if it will make a return?
For surec
Great! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you liked it!
Great videos....looking forward to ordering my topside bifold lt....I hope you ship to Canada.
Yes we do!
@Opensealeather I've been having a problem with the delivery method on the website, so thought that it was u.s. only....thanks

I would recommend a tool called an “easy skiver” and to watch some videos on how to use it.
Hi OS! What was the leather you used for these belts? Looks great, I’d love to get some. Thanks for posting these helpful vids!
Wickett and Craig harness! 9-10oz
I Want to make more belts. What would be the minimum and maximum weight and what part of the hide should I use to build them?
Definitely the bend and shoulder. Low end 8oz and high end 12oz
@Opensealeather The belt pattern template has been taken off the site. Any idea if and when it will make a return please?
belt looks sick too lmao
What’s the ideal thickness or weight for the leather on belts?
9-11 oz
Would you be willing to send me free template? Doesn’t appear to be on your site anymore. I’m interested in the stitches template.
Trump needs a bigger than 72 inch belt and he is tightening it a lot , that is very dangerous with dipats !
Wait wut?
