How does one put additional holes in a belt neatly? I have a belt that I
don't want to grow back into, and I don't want to ruin it, because I had to
work overtime to afford it.

Thanks!

I've kept one of these leather punches around for years. Good for many
things where you need to cut a hole rather than drill it.

Just be sure that no other guy is wearing the belt when you punch it,
or you may end up getting belted.

To do it properly, you must buy a special punch at a leather supply store.
To do it cheaply, you can buy a leather punch that will punch just a round
hole instead of an oval one that usually comes with a new belt.

It depends on the belt, but I have used a pin punch and a block of wood
successfully.
