Creating A Handmade Leather Ranger Belt / How To Make A Leather Belt

How to create a Ranger Belt. How To Make A Snakeskin Belt, How To Protect Snakeskin Scales When Making A Snakeskin Belt, Handmade Leather Belts, Constructing Leather Belts, The Best Leather To Make Belts, The Tools Needed To Make Leather Belts, Tools For Your Leather Craft Hobby, are all topics that I cover on my channel. Today I will be creating a belt using a snakeskin.

Today I will be creating a Ranger Belt to utilize antique silver and stone hardware. I will be using full grain leather to create this custom belt. The vegtan leather that I am using today was purchased from Montana Leather. I prefer to use two layers of full grain leather for a very stable belt blank. I enjoy hand sewing my handmade leather belts. When hand sewing vegtan leather belts I use the saddle stitch method. The saddle stitch hand sewing method creates a very tough and durable handmade leather belt.


Both layers are Montana Leather’s MTL vegtan

I also used Hermann Oak Leather


I used a selection of tools purchased from many of the companies that support my hobby. Somewhat in order that I used the tools.

I used my Barry King mallet and strap end punches to begin to form the belt.

From Weaver Leather I used the heritage economy splitter and stitching chisels.

I used Tiger Ritza thread and John James from The BuckleGuy.

I used leather finishes from Fiebing’s in Milwaukee. I used ProDye, Neatsfoot Oil, and Resolene.

That covers the majority of tools and supplies. If I missed what you are looking for please ask in the comments. Others might be interested as well.

I typically use Weldwood contact adhesive to laminate the two layers of leather. The sewing was completed using Weaver stitching chisels in the 5mm size. I followed with Tiger Ritza thread installed with John James needles. I like the durability of the woven polyester thread. The Tiger Ritza thread is prewaxed making the process of using it very fast. The belt was sealed with TanKote.

​⁠ I used a DG Knife from Shaun Woodsum.
