The Process. A quality Custom Western Belt starts with the highest quality leather available today. Our leather is Grade A tooling and carving leather from the Hermann Oak Leather Company in St. Louis, Missouri who has been tanning leather since 1881. First, a belt blank is measured and cut from a side of leather. Then it is dampened with a sponge to soften the top portion of the belt blank. A sponge is used so as not to dampen the backing of the leather so that the belt will hold its shape during the tooling process. Once the proper dampness is obtained, the selected pattern is transferred to the belt blank.
Many processing methods are used to make parts meet print requirements. In this lesson, Casting, Forging, and Rolling processes will be discussed. Casting. This is a process that allows the economical production of a part over and over again using the same molding equipment. Castings are made by pouring molten metal into molds. After the metal cools and becomes solid, the mold is removed, and the part produced is the desired shape. The part shown on the print 1TP111 is made by casting.
