Rawhide, Thanks. Every little detail helps, e.g. making marks but just touching the marks with the hole punch rather than taking them out with the punch.

Ray, Thanks for your input. So, if I understand you correctly, you're advising to find the center. Maybe make a line that bisects two centered points. Once I've got this line I then eye-ball the line with my hole punching tool for centering. Spacing comes down to marking with a ruler. I'll give this a shot. I've struggled more with the centering than with the even spacing.

Belt hole centering? I've been reading through the forums for days. I've also used the search function (but I can't escape the feeling that I'm somehow missing a conspicuous thread). I haven't found any threads addressing technique(s) to center and evenly space holes in belts. The holes I'm referring to are the ones through which the tongue from the buckle would pass. Can someone explain it or point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and say thanks. I've done a small amount of work on straps and belts. I used a couple of online tutorials to get me that far. The product is/was okay. They could fill volumes with what I don't know about leatherworking (and they have). I'm so green right now I typically can't even form and intelligible question. I've already spent hours reading through the forums. They're packed with good info. Of course, so many before me have had the same questions. I've already been able to answer questions I didn't even know I had. A sincere thank you to all who have been so generous with your time and help.
