    Default Done With Fiddly.

    Every now and then I’m done with fiddly items and long to get on with something bigger. It was time to buy in some hefty square wire for a belt buckle, mitre and solder it up, contour it with my mini belt sander and fix it to a cut and punched leather strap with chicago screws-- et voila.

    Wire for buckle, 6.0mm square.
    Outside measurements, 50 x 50mm. Width of leather strap 38 mm. Dennis.

    I like that is it for yourself, I dabble in leather work now and then, don't think too many buyers would line up for a solid silver buckle, maybe I just always just struck the stingy ones

    I love that Dennis. There's something extremely satisfying about a good chunk of metal on a belt!

    That's aweseome Dennis, and I bet still less expensive than a fancy branded one, and better being unique and handmade

    Great job Dennis and I'd happily wear that myself.
