AKA - My poor fingers.
Finally finished a new late roman wide belt for a friend using a set of RQPs 'Oudenburg' plates (which I've tinned), but I've played around with the order of the plates.
The leather belt is built around a core of double thickness linen, stiched along it's entire length four times.
The tongue is as long as the belt.
If I priced this at minimum wage then the cost of the stiching alone would be £150. To be honest, I can't remember what I agree to do it for...but it wasn't enough.
Never again.....well...I say 'never'.....
