Brass buckle

 I made brass keys for my made baroque style woodwinds. I may make the other thing from the brass with the technique.
 How about buckle for leather belt ? I don't have good leather belt yet. I tried making it.

The thickness of the brass sheet is 1 mm. round brass and copper tube are prepared.
 I wrote design of it on the paper, then these materials were fixed with iron thread.
 Silver Soldered.
 after soldering, it is cleaned with detergent for toilet which includes acid.
 No polishing may be good.
 4 mm brass rod is hard.
 I crushed the copper tube.
Only Sanding.
 I have not seen this construction of the buckle. But prototype may be made with this way.
 Leather working. The leather material is saddle leather.





Double rollers buckle isn't bad.
