Thanks KT, hope you don't mind, but I liked the holster I made you so much, I am going to make another for this belt, and also a cross draw and a knife sheath. May make it my CAS rig.

Howdy AC, sorry to hear about your recent bout with some cruddy stuff. I like the belt a lot. I notice you only have 4 holes on it. You must be one lean son of a gun!

Thanks JD, ya I am 34" waist and have always been thin. I can let it out 2 notches and take it up one from the hole that fits me.
You are doing some fine work yourself. Did you find out who sent you the pattern? Can Chuck Burrows help?

Very good work, AC. Nice looking belt. It'll be nice to see the holster that matches. Thanks for the pics.

Glad to hear you're feeling better. It's no fun to be on the bum.

great lookin' loops, AC.

Arizona Cattleman · October 11, 2010, 06:41:24 PM

Thanks Santee, they were darker until I streched them around the bullets. They look worn now

Cliff Fendley · October 11, 2010, 09:27:35 PM

I like the lighter looking loops. Looks worn, nice job on the belt.

Beautiful belt AC, what thickness do u use for the loops??
I´ve maket a couple of belt with woven loops but it not turn out
well, the belt was like a cheese doodle, hard to straiten

Skeeter Lewis · October 12, 2010, 10:52:54 AM

Nice work, AC.

Arizona Cattleman · October 12, 2010, 07:07:00 PM

Thanks Skeeter, BB I used a 2 to 3 oz lined with a 2 oz pigskin lining. Be sure to make it extra long so you don't come up short.
I did that the first try. Then start looping around each bullet. I also riveted one end first. You will have to pull tighe on each loop. Hope that helps. My loops are 3/4" wide.

Howdy AC,

Great work on the Cartridge Belt! Did you mention that you were making Holsters to match this belt. I sure look forward to seeing em'.

I'm very happy to hear that you are feeling better. It's no fun doing leather projects when one is under the weather. Many thanks for sharing your fine work with us.

Boothill Bob · October 13, 2010, 08:41:25 AM

Thanx for the help AC
