[Arizona Cattleman]

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!

LEAN,MEAN,AND HIS LEATHER IS CLEAN!! We have had a small epedimic of whooping cough here.

[Arizona Cattleman]

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?

[Marshal Will Wingam]

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.

[Arizona Cattleman]

Thanks GCR, Marshall and KT, your comments mean a lot to me.  Am feeling better, hope you avoided the whooper Rick.

great lookin' loops, AC.

[Arizona Cattleman]

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

[Cliff Fendley]

[Arizona Cattleman]

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]

Nice work, AC.

[Arizona Cattleman]

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]

Thanx for the help AC
