Making a GPF buckle

Starting with a blank;

and some tools;
Image

bevel the inside edges;
Image

round the tang cutout;
Image

bevel the outside edges;
Image

and bevel around the corners;
Image

round the sides;
Image

add a tang I made earlier;
Image

And after about 2.5 hours of work, you could call it done but usually it takes another couple of hours to soften the edges and polish/brush the whole thing and then assemble it.

Thanks for the kind words guys :)

It's mostly the thumb and index finger that get sore doing this work.
