Is there anybody close to St. Clair County that has a leather punch? Majafu got his Tie Pilot but the belt is a little big and we need to add a few more holes to it.

If it's just to punch holes in a belt......power drill.

Yah, that was my first thought too. But whenever I do that to my street clothes belt, I tend to get a bit sloppy. :LOL: Thought it might be better to go the more professional route this time. Oh, screw it...power drill, it is.

Yeah, when it comes to punching holes for belts, no need to get all fancy with it. Hell, just the sharp tine of a pair of scissors and manually just drilling through that way is generally sufficient. And faster than making arrangements to meet with someone who has a set of leather punches, getting it done, then going home, etc.
5 minutes vs. however-long-the-other-option-takes.

My wife's new puppy chihuaha (sp) is doing an outstanding job of putting holes in things. He'll take you up on your offer

Just ended up using a power drill. Didn't have a proper size bit so it looks a little sloppy but works. Actually it kinda does look like I shot it!

Well may need to drill another hole soon anyway. Keep losing weight.
