The fellow in the vid doesn’t mention the most important part of knife sharpening. You need to keep sharpening until you get a burr. No burr, no sharp. The burr is how you tell you’re done.
That is one way to do it and a good way for beginners, but I would recommend everybody to watch Cliff Stamp videos about his three step sharpening process.

A burr means you’ve over-sharpened, thinning the edge of the blade, and curling it over. Not sharp. Dull. I don’t know who taught you this burr business, but they did you no favors. Ask any chef.

Old belt will work fine. Just glue it to a piece of straight wood.
