For anyone thinking of using a drill, be forewarned. Be very careful and line the drill bit exactly over the holes as the drill bit will grab hold of the leather where ever it first touches the leather and you will end up with the hole in the wrong spot. For thin supple leather l mark my holes and will use the point of an exacto knife and cut the slots for the spots. Better would be to buy a manual spot setter for each size spots you intend to use.
Sorry it took so long to reply! Thanks for the questions. First, you certainly can put on a backing. I have a friend that backs belts made from black leather with duct tape to prevent the dyes from bleeding onto your shirt or the hasps from the spots from catching. I have also seen other folks lay another layer of softer leather down but I personally think the tape would be easier and hold up well. Personal preference. As for the cost for a belt it depends mostly on how much beadwork is involved. 2 inch wide strip vs a 5 inch for example can shift time and materials. Hope that helps and thank you for checking out the video!
Great technique. I really like the template you made. Thanks for sharing.
Dremel! Don't know why I never thought of that- thanks! Starting on a WIDE fully spotted panel belt.
Sounds like a killer project! Good luck!
Thank you! much easier than using another process I saw on UA-cam. The template is a great idea.
Thank you very much. Nicely done with great methodology
Great video, I would never have thought of that and I have one. That will really help. Thanks!
This is such a great method. Thank you!

Great video... Details are custom original.
Thanks
I bought some and got started and found them unreliable and difficult and chunked them in a drawer but after watching your video I'll try them again
What is the name of that drill?
How much do you sell a belt like this?
In the back of the belt do you attach some material to cover the knots and the back of the metal atachment?
