How To Cut Holster Belt Slots

[Garange]

Two holes and then A) use very sharp chisel or B ) a carpet cutting knife to cut the slots open .

If you use carpet cutter , do not try to get through with a single cut . Good way to avoid blade marks in the ends is to start the cut from the hole and meet at center o =><=o .

For sanding take a 0,5 or so strip of aluminium or plastic . Then attach the sandpaper on it with two-side adhesive . Now You have a "leather rasp" in your use .

For the icing on the cake , use thin bone stick and burnish the sides of the slots .

Thanks for the reply and advice..

I use a 3/16" hole punch for either end, draw straight lines between the edges of the two holes, and cut along the lines with a hobby knife. Then I burnish the slots with gum trag and the end tip of a deer antler. A slot punch would be nice, but daaaaaaaang those things are expensive!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the help. I think I'll get a hole punch and start there.
