Belts! Why did it have to be belts?

[Jetsi]

So here I am yesterday at the local Tandy Leatherworks store, spending way too much money (which should be going to the TCSS) for the equipment and material to make a pair of belts. And then I get on today and see you are selling belts :evil: (they look very nice BTW!)

I am going to need one in black, so I guess it is allright that I am planning on doing them myself, but if I had known 24 hours earlier, I would have definitely bought one.

Makes me wonder what you guys are planning on branching out into next?

I hate when stuff like that happens.

Next thing you know Tim will be selling full costumes then blasters then maybe full sized X-Wings! :shock:

I´d buy one of those full sized X-Wings, y´know... :lol:

i was almost gunna convert my old jetta into a landspeeder, but decided i would rather not spend the money haha

[Jetsi]

I think that would have looked sweet. I got a Jeep with no top, I could do it too :P .

[gundamaniac]

Wow. What are you guys gonna branch into next?

Though I suppose the belt could be considered a saber accessory...after all, that covertec clip or d-ring clip has to go somewhere....

How about some gauntlets and braces then for hand protection while wielding the sabers while you're moving into leatherworking?

Obi-Shaw is the man with the beard in the middle with the Rebel Legion Bowling Shirt on.

Very nice. Someone tell me R2's head swivels.

Oh and judging from the pics I think the astrodroids head does move.

I think its really cool that someone will go that far but Iam a big honda and acura fan so I see that as messed up.

Kinda a catch 22

[GeluKhanGharr]

Back on topic. Did anyone mention black belts? I see Tim just listed 3 of that color.

[Jetsi]

He did?

***Jetsi starts stomping around the room cursing loudly***

[gundamaniac]

...lemme guess...you ordered one of the brown ones before he put up the black ones?... :?

[Jetsi]

No, just that I used that as a way of making me feel better about spending the money to build them myself since I need a black belt.

Speaking of, I have it 80% finished, just waiting to get the rest of my costume done so I can make sure it fits nicely over all the additional material of the costume. Since it was my first leatherworking attempt, if you look closely you can determine where I screwed up, but from a distance I don't think you can see the imperfections and extra holes :oops: . I also am planning on some pouches which would conveniently hide the bad parts.

Here it is:

That actually looks pretty dang good.

[ArkaiHalon]

i heartily concur. leatherwork is not an easy skill to master, and that belt looks as good as many i've seen that are "finished". can't wait to see it 100%.

[Jetsi]

Thanks guys.

Hope the saber I am working on turns out as well :D .
