- In this film I show you how I make my belts....explaining each stage in the making process....there is lots of detail here including leather selection, edging, saddlers creasing, rounding edges, staining leather, crew and rivet punching, name stamping, keeper construction and boxing. I hope you enjoy the film.

I am still enjoying my two leather belts (one black, one brown) four years after receiving them from Mr Rogers. They are wearing very nicely and hold just as tight.
Thanks very much and that is great to hear.
Nice to see someone who cares about quality in this modern era. Well done Harry!
Thanks Bob.
Nicely done! Those belts will be top shelf indeed! Thanks for another well done video, Harry!
Thank You. was looking to see how to replace a broken buckle on my favorite belt. Must be most relaxing informative video ever. I checked my normal high blood pressure for the heck of it and was the lowest reading I had in years. thanks
Mine was made by the Amish,super high quality.
I will be trying yours out soon Harry,as your belts look excellently made.
Harry your a joy to watch. thanks so much for sharing. I'm off now to have a look at your belts.
Thanks Doreen

Hey... you look familiar ^
Have we met before?
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. A newbie from across the pond.
Loved this video and all the attention to detail. I do hope your shop opens up soon as I know my husband would absolutely love one of your handmade belts for his suits.
It's always enjoyable to witness simple and essential objects being made by hand. They are beautiful and will last longer too.
Harry, it's perfect! Really Great job! You are the Master!
I absolutely love watching you work on these! These are beautiful and the quality is excellent. I can tell by the detail and care you take in making them. You are making me want to learn make some! :) I love the idea about the oval holes and the skiveing, will definitely make a difference for the better! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Chris....as some point I will try and get one done on bag making....but I will get some blacksmithing up soon as well.
I’m a blacksmith in Australia, recently I’ve started making belts that are more or less fully engraved with floral patterns & accompanied with hand forged hardware in this case it’s a leaf heal bar buckle, I find the information given by makers of your caliber to be valuable & I thank you for the time you’ve spent to help others like myself to excel in the craft
Sounds great...thanks as well.
Nice belts, interesting video thanks for posting

Love the cobblers hammer.
Enjoyed your video and your tips ! Kentucky the Blue Grass State !
Most impressive and educational. I learnt new techniques so thankyou very much
Thanks for a great video.
Great videos Harry, thanks for posting and showing some great techniques and tips. I'll be ordering both your tool-rolls in about 2 weeks. Cheers from sweden
+RpirateFPS Thanks ....I can send them by Royal Mail International tracked and signed to Sweden. Regards Harry
Thank you very much for making this video sir, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
Thanks Frankie
very professional product sir! Brings back memories way back in the stone age when I did some leather work. I had a round wwod disc about 4" dimeter by 1/2? thick set up on a motor. I had a "V" cut in the center and that's what I used to burnish the edges of my leather. It just kinds of burns it in and leaves a smooth finish. I'll be taking a visit to check out the website. I think you are doing a top knotch job and presentation!
Thanks - I have been experimenting with a powered slicker....using an old washing machine motor! All the best Harry
wow, can't possibly be improved :)
i think i am getting one for my granddad on christmas, he loves leather belts, and he will probably apreciate a good quality handmade one :)
Thanks
So beautiful! Excellent quality :)
Thanks
Very Nice. Very relaxing to watch you do this, and make it look simple.
Thanks Jeff.
Thank You I enjoyed very much !
These are lovely mate, and the video was very charming. Thanks for posting it.
Cheers!
welwitschia Thanks very much
Very nice sir. I agree with all the details making the item. I do leatherwork that same way because I feel the customer will see the care put into the item and return for other goods and refer their friends to me. It's just good business, especially when they're paying a good amount for that quality.
Brilliantly entertaining! Thanks.
+Keith Hodgson U must be the easiest person to entertain in the world!!!!
I was sent a link to your channel this evening by a friend and I've really enjoyed looking at your videos. I can see this is going to be a late night. I'll be buying at least one of your belts because they are really wonderful. I need to have a good look at the buckles and styles on your website to decide which I want. I'll be getting back to you.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
+baconsoda Thank you for showing me this man's work Brendan! Nice call! These belts have such great details and won't curl or hike or become bothersome. They'll only get better with age and use. Great design in these and the details are common sense quality that is hard to find. I could purchase a Ralph Lauren for an overpriced sum or something but I don't like the idea of supporting someone's yachting lifestyle for something with no soul! These belts have character and are so refined! Going to buy a few. The videos are quite nice to watch too. I can't wait to get to the website!
+Lemon Squishy Brilliant! I get nothing from sales, just the satisfaction of knowing I put some business Harry's way. A lot of people have told me they are going to buy his stuff.
Nice job got a lot of good ideas.
You are a very skilled craftsman, your work is amazing. Thank you for this video.
Thanks Slevin.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
The video had me completely interested in all those unique tools it really was cool to see this done thanks for the video
Thats great - thanks Ira
Wonderful film Harry, Thank-you for posting. I bet I'm not on my own when I say that I never realised how much work went in to making a leather belt, I enjoy seeing your leatherworking videos even though I know nothing of the craft. You produce a really beautiful product. I shall leave now and check out Bucklehurst leather's website. N.
Thanks Neil ........I hope to be posting a film on Iceland soon!
That will be great! I am embarrassed to say I know little of this country. I eagerly await the film. Thanks Harry. N.
Beautifully made belt
Great vid bud!
I truly enjoy your video's
Thanks Robert.
Very nice work! Informative video as well 👍👍
these videos i always found therapuedic and interesting
Thanks
Aussie saddle maker here. That creasing iron looks like a Dixon creaser. I have one identical which I bought in 1984. Pity that Joseph Dixon closed and no longer make saddlers tools anymore.
Yes absolutely
Thanks for lesson and subtitle :) i m keep following you
had a go myself after watching this video,not the greatest but i can only get better,never thinned the leather and used the screw type brass fasteners and a double pronged buckle.brilliant informative video
Thanks and we'll done.
Great vid! Cheers!
Thanks

JOHN GRANDE Thanks John.
Thanks for sharing.
I like this video, makes me want to buy a shed and some tools and get creative!
+Alex Thorbrand Thanks Alex ..........I have yet to find an unhappy person making things in a shed!!
Nice work
Thanks
If you don't have any leather dye for the edges you can use a black Sharpie (felt-tip marker). In 1991 when I was 16 I got a new black leather belt that was too long so I cut it shorter. The factory black finish was only on the surface, so when I cut it the new natural leather color edge stuck out like a sore thumb. I blackened the edge with a Sharpie and 32 years later you still can't tell the difference in color between the factory blackened edge and my Sharpie blackened edge (the belt finally broke a few weeks ago so it's retired now).
good work thanks
Great prices on the belts for the amount of work and the high quality of the material
Thanks Josh.
me manufactur pure leather belt high quality from India kanpur city 8935068877 my whatsup no.
Exlant sir i njoyed this thanks
Thank you sir !!
You are a fine men with very nice skills.
I like what you are doing.
I hope I have time to make those beautiful things.
+Peter Muls Those beautiful things are called according to the video, "Lever belts"
a very nice belt, i really like the crease lines and you're quite humorous hahaha, i just had one question, what size of rivet did you use (post and cap size) thanks Harry!
Nice!!
fantastic thanks very much
Good luck on your web site, and thanks for the tip on the oval holes. Do you need to dampen the belt before putting the side grooves in (like when tooling), or is that why you heated the tool first?
Harry Rogers Hey, thanks for this useful video it's well done work.
Thanks also for sharing your knowledge with us for free.
I have a suggestion is : could you please put the names of tools that you are using on the description of the video it will be helpful for every newbie like me.
Otherwise keep going :)
I have an idea of a simplish clamp could be made foot operated that is clamped to table to make the job of rounding over the edges of the belt, it looks sort of wobbly . thats if you already have something like that.
very good friend
bom trabalho harry!
obrigado

Nice effort
Hello Harry , would it be worthy to use the patcher for making the keepers on some of the wider belts .... thank you for your videos I have watched all of them , you are quite a dyverse artist , nice to see .... your chair there with the stained glass is unique as well ....
nice belts
good job bro, all what I see is your skills and tools!! I will love to know the details where I get those tools. thanks
DavidYinkshoes David Thanks...a lot come from EBay secondhand now as Dixon's is no more...Osborne tools are good.
What punch do you use to make the oval buckle holes? Great work. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing
Hi Harry! Love the quality you put in your leatherwork 😍🤩. I don’t know if the question was already asked but what the reference of your skiving tool? I’m searching such a tool but can’t find a good one. Thx for your videos, learning a lot 🙏🏻
could you use book screws instead , or do you make a snap on type belt , i dont see one on your site
Hi Harry, I have been watching many of your videos, bought some supplies and really want to start with belt making. I have some questions if you don't mind. What size oval punch is needed, can't find that out myself. And also the rivets? What size rivets do you use, and what size punch is needed for them, is see you use a really small punch? Are the rivets the same on the belt as on the belt keeper? Both single caps right? And if i use 3mm leather, do i need rivets 4 of 5 mm long? thanks you Harry !
Great vid - what do you call that grid cutting board please?
