Thanks.
I need to make a new keeper. The lady that I made this for lost the original keeper in the parking lot at C4 when she was taking off her belt.I don't think she's worn her Jedi costume since then.
Last year I also made a Darth Nihilus belt:
And a Luke Return of the Jedi belt:

just order'd the stuff, waiting for gud old parcel farce to deliver it, then the fun bit starts!
thanx for all the help so far, ile let you all know how its goin.
one of many names i have heard them called as well as button studs and ball studs. i have since found a source for them here in tassie.
The measure of true wisdom is the ability to entertain ones idea and not except it as your own.
They are also sometimes referred to as Sam Browne buttons or Sam Browne studs...they are better than something like a flat-backed Chicago screw because the smooth rounded ball of the studs button has no edge to dig into or cause wear on the overbelt. They come in both 'rivet' style and screw-on-post style...having had a riveted one pop off I'd recommended the screw-on-post kind.

And you don't want to use this style Sam Browne stud, it's a rivet that you need a special anvil for, and because of the way it flares out at the bottom, it doesn't hold the smaller strap well.
I used them on my version 2 Jedi belt, so I know. That was before I found the screw in type.

I didn't get the anvil, Hide Crafter just didn't send it. I just used a wooden mallet and hammered lightly but firm enough to drive it down and the only issue is that the tops are some what flatten but still looks good.
Thanx for all the help guys, heres the finished product.
i decided to go with a 1" belt over a 2" belt (fancied something defferent)
the belt buckle was one i picked up a few years ago from a £ shop, i think it looks the part.

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.
Well that came out great, Great work.
I'M JUST A SPY(LOL)
