Excellent work. Do you cast the brass from a pattern and then file or just straight off file the material to shape?  Thanks

Art is not an object.  It is the excitement inspired by the object.

Johnny,
For the custom ones, I start from scratch and do them all by hand. I do plan to sell some as castings in the future.

 Beauties, the tooling on the keepers is a nice touch. Very fine work Bud.

Tim beat me to it.  The buckles are definitely gorgeous, but the tooled keepers are little jewels as well.  The contrasting finish is a nice touch too.  Well done sir.  God Bless,   Marc

James, those buckles (and keepers) are nice works of art - a body would be proud to display them.
