    hi guys!

    I would like to see how many strap makers are present in the forum , and especially It would be great if you can share your creation.

    Warning ⚠️! This is not a commercial post ! But only to share our creation and receive feedback about our choice , technical skills etc ... i think it could be a very good inspiration source and a way to improve our knowledge!

    So I will start with my latest creation, from a 1964 Swiss military leather.

    Nice work @Fost

    I like how you have re-purposed the military leather.

    Out of interest, roughly how long does it take you to make one of these straps?

    Those are some very nice straps. I like how the stiching along the sides are very fine (I mean small) so they add some constrast without being too "in your face".

    There's another thread of another French member on his home made strap. I don't know how many people there are that have taken on this hobby ?
