Newbie at strap making but here they are!

Recommended Posts

jeffrsho

So I figured I would give strap making a try a couple of weeks ago and posted the results in another thread in the Omega section since it was on my gen Planet Ocean. Anyhow, I figured that I would make a new thread that I can add the straps I make. Anyway, please feel free to chime in and critique my work. Like I said, I've only started making these and have successfully made three strap. Here are some pictures of my third attempt, its an elephant hide with shrunken goat lining. Please don't mind the buckle as I have a nicer one on order.

 

Anyway, on to some pictures...

Put this stingray strap together this morning and mounted it up on my TC Submariner.

Threw this keychain together today, not sure I'm a fan of it. Does anyone have any suggestions to make it better?

Are those stingray straps hard to cut and punch?

Not hard to punch but a pain to get nice straight lines cutting. The hide is tough for sure...

Beautiful straps, but the slimmer/thinner keepers look nicer.

 

Just my 2c worth.
