I've been making my own straps for a couple of years already, are there others out here who also do theirs?

Made this today for my Steelfish:

I make my own too. Photos to come. What tool do you use for your holes (for the stitching)... And what type of thread do you use?

I've made a few. After getting a big flop of a custom strap for big bucks, I decided I should just give it a try. Here's a couple pics ....

Is fun to work with. My local boot/saddle shop had this one tucked in a drawer in his shop. I've seen several on the 'bay for about $22. I'll be ordering one soon to check the quality.
