Got my ammo belt done today. I followed RafalFett and Strumfett's tutorials.
First I cut blocks, I made mine from tight knot cedar; light, easy to cut and smells good!:

Pattern transferred to the back of some antique brown vinyl, $10/yd.

After sewing, I used light gray upholstery thread, and installed with hot glue:

I finished the blocks and belt yesterday, then today added snaps, velcro and grommets:

Still need to fix the pouches when I dial in their positions, weather it and add the cargo pockets. I plan to make the 2 pouches that have snaps actual usable empty pouches, but that will come later. I have a ton of vinyl left over, and could make 2 more belts. Between this and my girth belt I'm very pleased. Gotta get on those boots!
