How To Make A Snakeskin Belt, How To Protect Snakeskin Scales When Making A Snakeskin Belt, Handmade Leather Belts, Constructing Leather Belts, The Best Leather To Make Belts, The Tools Needed To Make Leather Belts, Tools For Your Leather Craft Hobby, are all topics that I cover on my channel. Today I will be creating a belt using a snakeskin. I will be using full grain leather to create this custom belt. The vegtan leather that I am using today was purchased from Montana Leather. I prefer to use two layers of full grain leather for a very stable belt blank. If you could the snakeskin layer, this is actually a three layer belt. The top layer is Montana Leathers MTL https://www.montanaleather.com/product/mtl-veg-tan-leather-side/ The snakeskin was purchased from Tandy leather a few years ago. I used a selection of tools purchased from many of the companies that support my hobby. Somewhat in order that I used the tools. The strap cutter is from Tandy Leather. I have used the strap cutting to cut close to 1,000 leather straps. https://tandyleather.com/products/craftool-strap-cutter I used my Barry King mallet and strap end punches to begin to form the belt. https://www.barrykingtools.com/roundmauls.htm From Weaver Leather I used the heritage economy splitter, stitching chisels, and rotary hole punch. https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/search?q=diamond+stitching+chisel I used Tiger Ritza thread and John James from The BuckleGuy. https://www.buckleguy.com/ritza-25-tiger-thread/ I used leather finishes from Fiebing’s in Milwaukee. I used Neatsfoot oil and TanKote. https://fiebing.com/ The stainless steel buckle and Chicago screws are from Landwerlen Leather in Indianapolis.
