Post by: Crofter on December 25, 2013, 10:31:31 pm
One I made over the years and gave to my grand daughter for Xmas this year. Looks better on her than on me!

Title: Another Belt Buckle

Just testing to see if this works. For some reason PostImage.org seemed to quit working for me. Every pic no matter how small I requested gave the refusal "exceeds  file size limit"

Will try this link from my photo bucket. This is way large 6 meg or so.

Edit; I see something resized it, I hate it when things happen and I dont know why!!!

and riverbee fixed it, here is the pix from your pb account...........

Hey Crofter. I went on your link and was checking out all the other pictures. You have some awesome pics there (bees and larvae and eggs). And are those homemade frames done by you? You should be posting those my friend, they're great!

The buckle is made from a piece of 1 1/2 inside a piece of 2" stainless and filled in between; Look where the simulated nail holes are. I think just sch.80 The maple leaf is traced from the emblem on the Calvert Canadian Rye whiskey. I was doing some shoeing horses then as well as a fair bit of the whiskey!

I haven't used my photo bucket for a while. Actually I thought the link I put up was just to the belt buckle. Will have to go back and see what all I sent photos of, Lol!

I made one batch of frames but aside from them being only 1 1/4 width it was more a novelty than practical.
