Thank you Paul! Thanks for excellent guidance as well!

Absolutely nailed it Chad!! Gotta love that oil and sunshine. BK makes a turn back edger thats absolutely perfect for edging the backside of those slots. #2 size is what I use. I have a Horseshoe Brand one but since you live in leather Mecca go see Barry

Thank you Dave! Much appreciated! Yeah, That's something I've struggled with. My current tools just don't do a good job on the backside of those slots and when I've tried beveling them, it looks bad. Real bad. Thus far, I've opted to leave them so they look better. I'll have to go over to Barry's shop this week and pick one up.

The proof is in the pudding, and that turned out fantastic. Really like seeing the burnished belt loops it is a little touch that goes a long way in the 'curb appeal.' Should you want to be able to edge the back of that slot punch easier a #2 tight edge from someone like BK or Watts does a great job.

Thank you sir! Much appreciated! I definitely want to edge the backs of the loops, just haven't had the right tool thus far and every time I tried, it looked bad and sloppy. I'll stop by Barry's shop this week and pick one up.
