February 5, 201412 yr Very nice crosses. I have been wanting to make some belt buckles. Yours look great! How do you texture your crosses? I have an old hammer that I cut groves in the face to make the woodgrain look. Well done! Thanks for posting. Mark <><
February 6, 201412 yr Awesome work. I have some 1/2" square wrought iron stock that I've been wanting to cut for crosses, and I like how you've textured yours.
February 6, 201412 yr Nice work. I thought I would point out however, that it is not necessary to make belt buckles out of stainless. I have been wearing a couple of mild steel buckles for about two years now, one for work and one for general wear and neither has shown any sign of rust. The work buckle gets wet regularly and still shows no rust.
February 6, 201412 yr i like those. also curious about the method for texturing. also i can never get the celtic cross or "holy" cross to come out even, always lopped over to one side or another. need more practice...on everything.
February 6, 201412 yr Drive the hole in the cross then force it down on a taper with a piece of pipe as the driver.
February 7, 201412 yr Cool stuff! And they're functional as well. Great shape and form, like the textures. Beautiful work!
