That's a very professional looking strap.

long story
1. i saw chiewata posted his strap online... so i asked him to show me how he did it... where to find tools in kl..
2. then i bought him a nice steam fishhead lunch at cheras...
3. so he told me where is the leather shop and show me how to stitch...
4. so i went to buy things and order online with magpies14
5. then i downloaded some step by step online and try my own
so i think it is pretty easy....
as long as your hand is not shaking all the time...
-
So Chiewata is the teacher here. I wonder where he learnt the trade.
Anyway I really admire your resourcefulness. Wish I could learn to make my own straps one of these days.
How did you get the leather to look so aged?
-
I've told my gf abt this too and she wanted to learn too so that i can save a lot from buying :D maybe the next GTG can talk/give some lecture on making strap ;)
-
Danny, I guess we can get the aged leather anywhere, old shoes (& inner sole), belt, bag, pouch, etc. ;D
I too wish to learn a trick or two. ;D ;D
-
... and to think that I used to throw my old leather belts, bags away. Sheesh.. what a waste.
Time to visit the karung guni man to source for old leather.

i got this new strap yesterday and i really love this one! It's about 5 to 6mm thick but it is unbelievable soft!!
it is 26/26 to fit my radiomir...i pay USD103 for the strap, buckle and shipping cost..not sure how he made the leather this soft and i love the leather raw cut, aged leather,...hand stiching too..
Maybe next time i can bring it to share with our master foolun/chiew :)

It fit my 233 too (the leather is too soft and too easy to fit into a 24mm lug size)

Is that a fork sticking into the leather strap? ???
-
I think it's not really a fork that we use for steak but a tool to mark the stiching...kekekek...
if it is at least i got one already tool already LOL!
Btw, do you mind to list down what tools we need to at least star the first strap?
-
for starting... stage 1...
old leather
stationary cutter
ruler
leather glu
learn to cut shape and glu first...
-
So we are starting on lesson 1 already.
Sorry for the ignorance but what kind of glu qualifies as leather glu? Is it hard to find?
-
