Who has the beefiest Pam strap?

[CBR]

Tommy, Im glad to hear that... I am by no stretch an expert, but it really is alot of fun. The list of necessary tools is rather short and inexpensive. And as I have found, buying leather can be cheap also. Especially if you enjoy making straps from odd things like footballs, baseball gloves, old purses, boots, etc.
You can get everything you need for around $50-$75.
If you have any questions, feel free to send a PM.

CBR, I'm honored To be honest, I love that baseball strap right there. The white stitching is perfect. If you have enough material left over from that, perfect!

I'd love to get the list of tools needed to make my own, and if you've got an FAQ on how to make it somewhere can you send me the link? I know you don't sell them, but please at least allow me to cover the cost of materials and shipping. I will try my hand at making my own, and if you like them after I post pics I'll be sure to send you one as well!

Gen-X, I didnt in fact have enough leather from the previous glove to make another. So I wore the strap down to the local Play-It-Again Sporting Goods and bought a glove that matched very closely for a whopping $5.95.
Here are a couple before and after pictures of your new baseball glove strap. I assumed it would be for a Pam, so it is a 24 straight with 85mm short side and 135 long side (lots of tail to show off).
PM me your address and I will get it off to you tomorrow.

Jetrigger, I have enough leather from this new glove to do one more... I will get it done in the next couple days and get it off to you. PM the size you needed again, I recall that you had to punch some extra holes? I will get it right this time around!

You might also note that there is a brand new buckle on my strap. That was a gift from a very generous and kind hearted soul over in Australia. I am always astounded by the kindness of those here on RWI. Thank you friend, as when I get back AU will definitely be part of my world tour.

Some great straps there!!!! $75 doesn't seem bad to have equipment to make straps..

WOW, it's Christmas all over! Thank you so much CBR, your generosity is unmatched. We have only exchanged a few PM's in the past and I certainly didn't expect this I'll send you a PM with my address, and would like yours as well to send a small token of my appreciation. Can't wait to try on the strap!

You're right as rain, Hogan. I just paid more than that for one strap!

I bought a self-healing mat for cutting. But I wonder, T, if I need a slab of marble or something similar?

Thanks for the tip: I will go to a Play It Again store. I can't bear to cut up any of my gloves!

Do any of you have a link to a strap making FAQ that you'd recommend? I need to start doing it!
