Yessir! I try and remember to do a small test run before committing it to a work piece. I practiced doing 12 gauge cartridge loops - I think your source material you mentioned was 'Bills Place' -How to make a bullet belt - machine sewing the loops..... He mentions the technique you were using.

Its become my trade mark or should I say oil mark. Thanks to Tippman Boss.

Thank you for giving out your template for free; there was a lot of work in just making the pattern on the computer much less the calculations involved. But even more thanks for explaining how you measured the loops for what ever cartridges you may want to use.

I wanted to stop in and let you know how appreciative I am for the example video, instructions and the template at no cost. I completed the holster today and your help was invaluable. My customer will be very happy. Thank you so much.

OLD Leather Smith here, very nice, even beginners can follow this video. Since this Old man hand stitches everything the zig is not required, still I like the video. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

I have found that sewing the cartridge loop directly to the holster belt the cartridges mark up the belt and stretch the loop at the top when withdrawn (perhaps I’m making the loops to tight). So I started sewing cartridge loops on a strap and sewing the strap to holster belt. That slight clearance seems to make a big difference. Love your work brother.

Of all the builds I have seen I have wondered the same thing. I guess it depends on the look you are trying to achieve. Being an active competition shooter I would expect the extra clearance would not only save your belt from getting marked up but would also make it easier to extract the cartridges when needed.

Incredibly helpful in my holster and belt project. Thx

Very well done, nicely presented, great creations & a BIG THANKS for the "Cartridge Loops Stitching Guide - Printable Template", very much appreciated!

I love that sewing machine.

This is just what I needed, Thank You! I was able to quickly print the template and now I can proceed with my project.

Love your videos and your enthusiasm. Big thanks for the templates. I will be making a 22lr or a 17 HMR this weekend. Would really like to see you make a narrower 22lr belt with a Leatherman holster, for your UK subscribers. Best wishes to you and your family.

Man-oh-man this is wonderful...such talent!

That's really good information. You do good work too. You know if you line the belt you don't even need to sew across the bullet loop. And I find that to be a little stronger for the belt loop.

Good demonstration there Parker, I find the hardest part is getting the stitch length correct. I mostly do 45LC & 38s, .22 is to fiddly for me but I shall try your pattern.👍

I come to your channel for good ideas.because you inspire me to get in leather work.

Thanks for the vid's, I am new to leather work and ran across you vid on sewing machines, I spent almost 2 hours hand sewing a belt and was looking for information on beginners machines, towards the last loop on your vid, does the machine,,, IF it goes thru your fingernail does it tie the knot in the leather or in the middle of the tip of the finger LOL. benefit of having a machine that will run slow, at least for me. Thanks for all the info.

ALOT of help, thank you! Quick question, I am making a adapter pouch for 410/45lc to 9mm adapters and I was thinking of making something to hold some 9mm in the adapter pouch. Do you think I could make 9mm bullet loops or just make a separate pocket for some ammo on the pouch? Didn't know if bullet loops would hold a rimless cartridge and don't want to waist leather trying

Thank you! Excellent tutorial. I especially liked the explanation of how to determine the loop size for your particular cartridge. This is a helpful reference when using different size cartridges or if using a different leather thickness than 3/4 oz for making the loops. The template download was a nice addition and much appreciated. Question: if one were to hand sew between the loops, would it be necessary to zigzag between each loop, or could each stitch line be independent of the others? Thanks again for putting this out there for us!

Great info, thanks! With the diagonal stitch inside the cartridge loop, is there a risk of wear on the thread from regular use that might cause the stitch to break? Seems like a possibility, but conjecture doesn’t always match reality.

Just saw a video where Richard Black did the ruler method. Making ammo belt slides. Maybe he's the guy you saw that you can't remember?

One problem Ive run into while horse back. When the loops are placed on the belt too low the cartridges have a tendency to hit the cantle and pop out. Ive lost a few rounds that way.

@whitandpark

yeah i could see that happening. Though this is a single holster rig so the cartridge loops are all on the opposite side of the holster as opposed to the back of the belt. So it probably wouldn't happen with this belt, but that's a good thing to know. Thank you

Totally depends on what you plan on using it for. If you'd like something easy to learn on for some small leather goods (10oz or less)at a hobby level, I'd recommend the Tandy/sailrite Stitchmaster pro. I have a review video on it. If you'd like something a little more professional i'd go with a cobra class 20. If you plan on JUST doing heavy weight stuff, like holsters, sheaths, tack, saddlery, etc...i'd recommend the cobra class 3 or 4 (like the one in this video)

In addition do you have a number one edge shave. I was always encouraged to edge belts gun belts and harness, as it gives a professional finish. Also prevents the belt from rubbing against clothing a clean finish that will last.
