Thanks Brad. Wyatt is a gem. I'm ok at making belts. Just have had some bad belting stock that I bought way too much of. It doesn't even lay flat. Anyway, I actually grind the top and bottom with my finger on the leather on the grinding wheel, rather than cut with a razor before pinching it with hide glue. It works nicely.
