A popular question we get in the shop is how to taper a leather belt to fit a certain buckle size? We show you in this video an easy way to accomplish this. I show you the math and how to keep it centered and balanced.

If you would like a FREE copy of this jig pattern so you can make you own, then click this link, put your email address in and you will have a copy to print out on your printer: dgsaddlery.com...
If you like math and want to see another video that I show you how to center the name on a belt, then here is a video we did on that... calculator not necessary: • KZfaq Q&A 2: How to ...

Although I'll probably never use this information I find it fascinating! I had no idea how much technical details go into this hand crafted work, well done.

Thanks Don, well explained. Am I the only one, who hate then customers gain or lose weight, so the center is off on the belt you made them?😁

I should have watched this last year before I tried my ambitions first belt that didn't end well. Thanks for the tips, I'll be ready to do it right this time.

Thank you for this! I used your principles to make a hat band tapered at the buckle.

Do you have a taper template for a 3” belt? I’m going to start tapering a few of my 3” gun belts. This would be a huge help !

Love your work and videos. Why don't you include the buckle length in the measurement of a belt? It seems like the belt would be about an 1.5" too big for a standard buckle. Thanks.

@samsonindustries49 4 жыл бұрын

Does the measurements change using 2 pieces of leather? (8/9 oz. Leather) trying to get the right measurements. Thanks

@mikemcknight2936 4 жыл бұрын

I guess I'm just dense, but doesn't the belt buckle type on the customer's existing belt affect the belt length when measuring from the bend to the hole they measure to? How do you take into account the buckle they will use if it's different? Meanwhile I'm a big fan. Love your work. Wish I had your talent!

@kellyhayes 4 жыл бұрын

you don't measure from the buckle, you measure from the leather at the turn where the buckle is (start of leather not start of tip of buckle)
