How to punch a hole in a leather belt for a treadle?? Need help
#1
I got a treadle leather belt today, and I have it on right, but I am trying to figure out how I want to punch a hole, do I want to take the belt off and punch it then put it back on?
Thank you
Thank you

I had a hard time centering the hole when I tried to punch it. To solve that I placed the belt in a crack happened to be my "sliding" tile floor and pounded the nail in. Came out great. You could use a narrow crack in the sidewalk or a board.
