I will be doing another buckle for this next submission, this time using 416 stainless. I have found the nickel silver to be soft and gummy as others have described on previous postings. So easily scratched too. A good experience though.
I'm looking forward to working with this piece of stainless and will be posting my drawings and plans soon. At this point I've only domed the blank piece. There's no need to repost a lot of the steps and procedures done in my first submission as to the buckle construction. They will be basically the same. There are some exceptions and I will talk and show them later. I will change the shape of the blank below to one more like the previous buckle. (I think!) Design will be different and I plan to include a stone setting on this one.
