Is that more of your welding rod art?

I would not call it art, but I have been welding filler rods for some
time, making toy people for my kids, and such, and this belt buckle
is also an example.

Love it. OA or TIG?
When your online buckle shows up, if you want to send me your
shop-made one I'll nickle-plate it for you.

TIG. I would be delighted to pay the cost of plating. Thanks a lot
Don. The only issue with plating, is that the buckle at this point is
no longer removable:)

Damn, stacks of benjies all around and he's -still- too cheap to buy a
real buckle. <bseg>
Hey, Ig! Where's the chrome plating?

Actually, I bought two belts... But they have not even arrived yet...

I thought it was going to be fairly elaborate! One welder I knew took
and chopped some stainless tubing scrap off at an angle, then ovalized
it in a vise. He then filled it with stubs of various sized bronze
and stainless rod in a pattern and fused it all together. Was about
2x3" when he got it done. Went over it with a grinder so it was
slightly domed, then welded fittings for the belt onto the rear. He
said all the welders on site had ones like it, was a brewery under
maintenance, so plenty of scrap tubing to mess with.

Leave those nastyass chemicals to others. Chrome is a deadly process.

You must have a tough time trying to prove that thing is
really 10 inches, unless of course you made a custom tape
too :)

You could always brush plate at least part of it. Caswell sells kits for the
hobbysist.

Me. to pretty girl stranger: "Would you like me to prove I have 10 inches?"
She: "Get lost, creep."
Money pent on fake tape measure--wasted.

Maybe that's "dog inches".
Leon Fisk
Snort! well at least you got to strike up a conversation,
that's a lot farther than I get ;-)
I usually have to settle for the measure along the side of
my Leatherman Tool/knife. It has proven to be useful, if I
can remember it...

Just curious,
How did you get the buckle back into the leather ? Did you have to re-
stich it ? Or did you make and 'L' shape and then let it cool and
weld farther away from the leather that way ? I'd really like to make
one with some stainless rod.
Cheers,

Just use a chrome-rich alloy and electropolish it.
Cheers!
