pubus Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadog13 Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share 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!

Bignasty Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pubus Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share 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.
