Collection: Tools for Makers & Hobbyists

The kit I use myself, so I know it's worth having. Good for anyone starting out or already hooked on this stuff.

Leather Belt Making Templates

Templates I designed for making belts, laser cut from 3mm basswood. Each set has five templates, for 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 38mm and 40mm belts, and each one is engraved with its width and has the hole positions, buckle slot and fixing holes already cut.

Four tip styles

• Long point - the classic tapered tip for dress and western belts.
• Short point - a compact triangular tip for everyday belts.
• Clipped point - tapers in from both sides to a flat end.
• Blunt tapered point - an asymmetric tip with one long diagonal edge.

They take the measuring out of belt making, so every belt comes out with the same tip and hole spacing. New to leatherwork? Start with my beginner's guide to leatherworking, then read how to choose the right belt width and where to buy leatherwork hardware in the UK.
