pubus Posted April 28, 2006 Report Posted April 28, 2006 Hi folks! Wanted to ask, what do you think about this strap, I like making them, this is the 9th I've made already. I still lack in finishing edges but Im better with each one I make. Thanks for comments and thoughts
Faber Posted April 28, 2006 Report Posted April 28, 2006 looks great impressive...and the only one hole..makes it much more cool...
chris5264 Posted April 28, 2006 Report Posted April 28, 2006 Nice, it will look even better with a little wear on it.
dadog13 Posted April 28, 2006 Report Posted April 28, 2006 Nice project Pubus! For some time i've been thinking on trying to make a strap by myself...but i have so much things to do on my current work so i have not time to start... ..i always like to see people that give their best in trying to make this "little" projects! besides collecting watches...making straps could be a nice hobby!
pubus Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Posted April 28, 2006 @ dadog13 : Yes it kinda becomes hobby for me Thanks for compliments guys, since my mentor HKTAN told me in only email that his first were not so good too I started doing more myself Thanks again!!
hktan Posted April 28, 2006 Report Posted April 28, 2006 Hi Pubus, Great work. You'll surely get better with your next and future straps. I look foward to seeing more of yor work. Have a great weekend. Aaron HKTAN
Bignasty Posted April 28, 2006 Report Posted April 28, 2006 Now this would be a "how to" I would really like to see in the repairs and mods section! I've got some leather I wouldn't mind making in to strap, just don't know how. I've thought about it before many times! Looks nice Jon

Cheers, Kuba Edited May 4, 2006 by pubus

Cheers, Kuba wow, seems like you set a new trend. custom made watch straps with only one hole and seized to fit only the owners wrist. thats exclusive
8o8 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 did u actually find a stitching tool for the leather?
pubus Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Posted May 13, 2006 (edited) yes, I took a hammer, a spike, a ruller and then I took needle and and some thread to stitch it myself... no machinery used there Ill post pics this weekend as I had no time lately of the rest of my madeings and tools I used.

Wow I feel kind of dumb, or maybe I just think too technological because I assumed you would need a sewing machine to make a strap. Ignore my ignorance please. Photo tutorial will be well taken by myself. I have a belt I've been wanting to turn into a nice thick PAM strap, but haven't had the know how. Jon
