ThomasPowers Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Well back when I was learning "cad" I did a careful measurement of my PW anvil and drew it on the computer and then had it print out a copy in a lot of different scales. I picked a good looking one and glued it to a piece of lucite and cut it out and used it as a positive to make a petrobond oil sand mold and cast it in silver as a belt buckle. I sprued it so that the sprues trimmed down would be the posts for the belt bar and the air escape hole would be the peg way out on the horn to engage the belt holes. Silver was a bunch cheaper back then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
