I just got this in the shop today. I believe it is a later model. Possibly an H model. It have some modifications on it like the flywheel extension. If anyone has info on the adjustments and such, it would be greatly appreciated.

32 1/2" works better because the leather will stretch. Add a couple of small rivets to the stitching job as well as some contact cement. All of this has to be done at the forge so you can thread the belt through the blower.

For information purposes, the belt size for this forge/blower combination is 33 inches long. Don't forget to add about 1 1/2 to 2 inches to skive and overlap. The crank turns counter clockwise. Having issues uploading pictures, but Medic560 has some good onces.

Proud to unveil my very humble shop

I like it!! It's not the size of a shop that makes a craftsman. -

Rick here. Been working on and off of several years and just acquired an old Canedy - Otto Leader forge and blower. I have a propane shop built forge and burner, an anvil and some store bought hammers. I had to take a 3 year break because of illness but I getting stronger and love getting my hands dirty. I have made a few knives and lots of other items for the shop, home and hearth.

I just picked up what looks like the same forge. Everything is there except the leather belt. Would anybody no the best way to join the leather together to make this belt? Thanks Rick
