[mention]Nick_B[/mention] thank you!

Now 10/10 are sold - the whole run! :thumbup:


Today my dad visited so I showed him the buckles.

„Too bad they aren’t belt sized, I‘d really love to have one...“

His 76th birthday is on the 24th of may so I thought: „well - they aren‘t yet...“


Cut out for a 40mm belt in 6mm brass:

Sawin‘ the night away

All filed flat

Making the hinge...

Image

...and the bevels

Image

I‘d totally wear this.

More to come...

Thank you all for your constant encouragement, this means a lot to me!



A little size comparison to my 27mm buckle:

(and a little peek into my delaying Cali build)


The progress so far:

- hinges roughed in
- bevels set
- inside and outside edges filed flat and finished to 600grit
