356 bronze belt buckles

#1 Post by Simon Fairweather »

Hi everyone

Some of you may have seen the thread I started in the general discussion forum about a batch of 356 belt buckles I have made. I now have a small batch of 15 completed. I will limit the total run to 100 pieces.

They're cast in bronze and have a stainless wire belt loop on the rear.

They are AU$150 plus $25 postage etc.

Regards
Simon

Just a few of the first batch left. Order now to avoid waiting for another casting run...

Thanks Rusty! :D

James - I only cast 15 or so in the first run, but I cast every few weeks at the moment (other products), so if you'd like one I'm happy to cast you a buckle in the next casting.

If anyone is interested in the casting process you can find a pictorial explanation on my website:

Hey Simon,

Would you consider doing a Speedster buckle? The Coupe looks very nice!

Cheers,
Nick Daffern

Hi Nick

It would depend on how much interest there is. The model takes quite a long time to carve by hand.

regards
Simon
