Measuring for a belt
#21
If using plastic tubing, how about simply using your stapler to attach the ends together?

I used the leg off a pair of pantie hose. Just stretch it real tight and tie a double knot in it. It works, I promise. I also use 3/16" tubing and a part called a hose connector. It's a little piece of plastic that you can push into each end of the hose. I never could make a regular leather belt work -kept moving while I was trying to punch hole in it. Ruined one belt. That's when I got out the pantie hose.

TOO Funny!! I have not heard this phrase (actually a variant) since my Grandmother passed... She used to say regarding the chickens "I use everything but the cluck"

I used to do that and it works great, but I realized that if I used needle and thread I would not have metal running through the belt track (super old machines and all)
