WS 27: How to make wrist support watch bands

SLING II on the wrist from the side
Looks pretty much like a normal watch strap, right? I was quite happy with the result. Some was thinking and tinkering, some was coincidence (the tapered shape of the leather rest that gave me the idea to simply keep the band in a tapered shape). The second button and the whole in the band to make the band look nicer when closed, was simply a result of experimenting. I found that if the band was in the tight position, the second open button underneath pushed into the arm. So I cut a matching hole and then found that it actually helped to absorb tension from button two (the one visible below). The last picture in this little walk-through is the top wrist shot.
