    • Cut a straight edge with a ruler and craft knife.• Use a slitting tool to produce the belt blank, using• Thin a short length of one end of the blank by pulling that end through the leather splitting machine.• Groove two sections of the thinned edge on both sides with the edge-creaser, a few millimetres from the edge.• Stamp the grooved sections progressively with an appropriate pricking iron to provide a guide to the stitching.• Use a die to make an oblong hole for the tongue of the buckle.• Fit the buckle and, using a length of waxed polyester thread and two needles, saddle-stitch the two sides of the buckle end of the belt.• Cut the tongue of the belt using a suitably shaped strap cutter at an appropriate belt length. The shaped cutter is sharply hit with a hammer.• Punch holes at regular intervals along the belt.• Use a bevelling tool to bevel the edges.• Sand the edges with progressively finer abrasive paper from 120 grit to 1200 grit.• Burnish the edges with water using the powered burnisher or a burnishing tool in the Dremel.• Burnish the edge with wax using the powered burnisher.• Emboss with logo.• Polish with a special mixture of waxes.
