This was my second attempt at making a belt buckle, which turned out 10x better than my first. It started out as a piece of 1/4" mild steel round bar, which I heated and pounded flat, then I added a few twists. I found some 1/8" brass rod lying around and used it to pin the center section. I will post some finished pictures as soon as I get some leather cut out for the belt. I'm thinking that dyeing the leather black would look good against the steel.

that's cool ... Congrats!

Aw man, I like that a lot. The only thing I would prefer, would be if the tongue was flattened as it is around the pivot, but was a smaller diameter and hammered round where it goes thru the holes in the belt.
In fact, I wanna go out and find some leather to make a new belt for my 1770's kit if I could wrangle one of those buckles from you!

Pretty slick man. It has a trapping theme to it. Like a little foot hold, maybe a size 1/2 :)

Mocs from KyleWayne (a lurker that doesn't post much), knife and hawk from KHalverson, stones in the jaws of my flintlock from another lurker (HBBows), kinnikinnick from Olanigw0Pekane in my pouch, and a mess of other stuff. Man, I am being kitted out by some mighty fine artisans and craftsmen!
