Like I mention before, you need to have the right manual tools to do the job. I will share with you what tools to use along the way. Most of the tools i have already mention in my previous posts.
First of all, find some cardboard to draft out and cut out the size of the strap you want to make. In my photo, it is a 22mm strap and length, 125mm by 75mm. Remember the short side (the buckle side) you need to add in 2cm. The extra 2cm is for you to make a bevel (1cm each) and glue later. Will explain that in detail later.
In short, the length for my draft will be 250mm by 170mm.
