Was given this strap a while back by a fellow Risti, but didn't have the dive buckle. Felt like playing strapsmith last night and modded it for a Tang buckle.

First step was to cut a notch for the tongue of the Tang buckle.

Next was the fun part, punching the hole. Lined up another strap and marked the spot. Then heated up some metal and slowly worked through.

Turned out great IMHO and what a comfy strap!
