How do they make these belts. I been to many belt making site, but they never show how it's actually done. All the videos I found are some crappy cardboard belts someone make. I want to see legit video how it's all done. I find it a very interesting art.

Ancient chinese secret.
Seriously, I have to sign over one of my testicles to join the Championship Beltmaker Guild. That may be a price too high for some to make. Not to mention the secret handshake you have to learn. It's pretty tricky.

Because that was a right pain in the ass for me. |

Because that was a right pain in the ass for me. Failed the first three times, nabbed it in the fourth try. But that was nothing compared to the hazing. Initiations to any guild suck, but that goes double for the Secret Championship Beltmakers Guild. I have scars, both physical and mental, that will never go away. One of my fellow pledges lost a finger in his quest for guild membership. And that's not a joke! |

I would guess you make a master mold of the face and side plates. Pour your metal of choice into said molds. Rapidly cool the metal in the mold. Remove the metal plates and do all the fancy finishing work, strap finished plates to a leather belt.

I can't say too much out of fear of being thrown out of the Guild, but I can say this...one of the key ingredients is LOVE.
Oh, and pixie dust.

Now, is it true that, once a belt is finished, there's a dedication ceremony involving the sacrifice of a newborn?

The members of the Championship Beltmakers Guild don't sacrifice any living creatures (at least not since the 1950's) unless you want to count the cows that we get our leather straps from. When it comes to newborn babies being sacrificed, I think you have our practices confused with those of the Luchador Mask Making Guild. |

Remove the metal plates and do all the fancy finishing work, strap finished plates to a leather belt. I highly doubt that belt makers would use molds, especially if they're only making 1 product. Molds are EXTREMELY expensive and require more work than whats neccesary. chances are they use multiple pieces of metal, and cut out the designs where they then plate the metal with whatever the costumer wants. |

I was informed in the Guild classes that everytime a belt is completed, a German businessman vacationing in Thailand gets a bj from a underage trannie hooker.
But I have no way to prove this. I've never been to Thailand.

At this stage, I'm wondering if CM Crunk is regretting asking the initial question... |
