Working on the generator set and making little flat belts from ribbon reminded me of the lacing technique for full size flat belts. If you are somewhere and don't have metal belt lacing or are working on a restoration from before metal lacing and need to lace belts with leather I hope this helps.
I learned this from a reprinted "manual of modern farming techniques" from the late 1800s that covered horse drawn machinery and horse powers for belted machinery. I'm not sure it even mentioned metal belt lacing as an option.
The key for lacing belts by hand is to make sure you use a criss-cross pattern to keep the ends aligned straight. I don't remember if I mentioned in the video, but you should use an even number of holes in each belt end because that makes the criss cross pattern work out better.
