Belt Buckle!!! That belt buckle looks amazing!!!
I would SO be down for a belt buckle and a necklace.
I think the belt buckle would look INCREDIBLE as a chrome with black porcelain inlay - don't know how hard that would be.
Worst case and still it would look awesome would be a patina'd brass belt buckle.
I know you from the RPF but I wasn't aware of what you did. But your work is AWESOME!!!
Once I actually get a job and some money together I may ask you to do some runs of obscure stuff.

I like movable backs for the cuff links as well. Is there a considerable cost difference?

Nice! We sure have a lot of people with awesome day jobs on here. I've got a 'real' pin but I'd absolutely want one of these (but put me at the end of the list so people with real ones go first!).
Actually, hell, I want a belt buckle too.

more wax
purple is the ring
it looks like the buckle is going to be about 3.5 oz, But I might see if I can slim it down to 2.5 oz
lets hope the metal cast
still fussing with the ring

chrome and porcelain inlay would not be cheap for one offs
what kills me is most buckles now are pot metal chromed or plated -yuck!
I like old fashion metals like brass, bronze and silver.
thanks and good luck on the job search, I know that all to well.

I never had allergies till after that whole immunization regimen you had to get in Basic. And, it took another ~25 years for them to subside after I got out.

anyone have a spare body?
I not sure what sickness I got but it went away for a week and now came back ...
I want to smack the local supplier for silicone -they still have not got my order in.
So no physical movement but I have been thinking about stuff. Like maybe brass cast pins that are plated..this would help keep the price down and they could also be used for "key chain" versions.
We will get there..
