Yeah! A hammer and a nail. :lol:
I keep a small block of wood,an awl made by Clover to poke the hole through the treadle belt; about 1/4" from the end. I first flatten the end that needs the hole with a pair of pliers, so it won't roll as easily . I use 2 clothes pins to hold the belt in while I thread it through the treadle wheel and belt guides.
