Once a belt is cut to length and end shaped, mark out the tip end holes with a template and punch the holes. I would think this is less work to do on the spot, than setting rivets ... IMHO. Actually, if you have tooled the belt properly you started at the tip end and ran towards the buckle end. By having the tip end already punched you are now only trimming from the end that you should be anyway, so the answer to your question would be "no, if you made the belt the proper way." 1 hour ago, RockyAussie said: Another alternative wish I think is quick and easy if you make long belts all ready to go along the method I do many of my belts as in pics below. Just cut to length and punch 2 holes and attach the buckle and extension. Many customers buying as gifts just buy them over long and do it later. Basically what I said, cut to length, attach the buckle, done and sold. Quote Richard Hardie R. P. Hardie Leather Co. R. P. Hardie Leather Co. - OnlineR. P. Hardie Leather Co on Facebook

That's why you get paid the big bucks. LOL I guess I was imagining a plain belt with no tooling, but when I think about it, I can see the correct way to make a belt.
