Conchos and belts

[stelhrse]

Good Morning folks. I am contemplating adding conchos on a belt I am going to make but I need some advise to be sure I do this right. My questions are these. First, how do you locate that first concho and space the rest and Second, do you tool the belt first and place the conchos, or add the conchos first and tool up to and/or around them?  Thanks very much in advance for any responses.

I wold kind of do both. I would lay out where they are going, including holes, mark everything and then do the tooling. Then do any dye work before putting the conchos on.
