Post by softup » 28 Mar 2013 20:41

:oops:
My first attempt 2013 self made strap.
A silverly/black embossed leather, made to look like a Zulu strap with no rings.
As moi wrist is small, customized to make it shorter with a loop.
:P

Thanks to "sinner1974", scs120" bros and "kokoro84" sista
for the inspiration and guidance provided in this forum.

Good job! Was interested in strap making as well but once I found out the amount of time, equipment and learning curve involved, I decided to just buy them ;)

very nice bro , when taking order?
Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.
