The other side of the belt,
The belt at full length
It has taken nearly a month to make, I was even doing the punch work in a hale storm light was better outside. I hope you like again ask any questions I will try to help

Opps forgot to mention the best way to make your components is make templates first,
These will help for scale before you make in metal.

Thank you very much Charlie The drawings in the book are to scale and show how irregular the belt plates are so I did the same all hand cut. Te book is " Archaeologia Vol.109 1991" a great set of drawings of belt plates, bucklesfrogs ect
