that is not bad..kinda hard to see it with it being on its side i like the brass hardware, where did you get it ?
got a tip for you.. place your inner strands and 1 working strand on the table east / west find the center the other working strand put onto the above strands using a half hitch then, tie 4 or 5 solomen knots on each side of the half hitch. bend it around to make the begining of your belt.
The hardware came off an old collar that my dogs wore out. It's about 15 years old. So I just cut it off the old collar to reuse.
