Okay, after I had all parts ready for some time, today I started assembly my Samnite/Gladiator belt. Here some pics of the progress.
Thanks to Christian Koepfer for giving me some tips and his Fabrica Augustana which made the belt hooks.
The belt hooks are from Christians Fabrica Augustana. The sheet is 5 cm width.
First I started to drill holes, 5 mm apart along 3 borders of the sheet.
I used a standing drilling machine with a wooden device to hold the belt in place and get the holes aligned well.
After drilling all the holes I filed them all, so the rope wouldn't break due to sharp edges, and located where the hooks needed to come.
Drilled the holes and rivetted them onto the beld.
Next to do is to drill holes for the hooks to close the belt and sew a leather backing to it, but that has to wait.
