Custom Name


Nothing special. Another custom name for a friend. Weld build-up, then sanded flat. Finished natural with clear-coat.

H buckle


I was asked to make two of these for a seller in Thialand. They were designed a specific belt, to be sold with the belt.

This is the belt it was used on. Very unique.

Football Buckle


A family friend's son plays high school football. This was his birthday gift. The finish is rust patina, hand rubbed wax and clear coat.

Plain & Simple


The title says it all "Plain & Simple". 3x3 square. Sometimes its nice to make the simple ones.

Sol Azul


I posted this buckle a while back, so here it is again with the update. This was a custom piece through Etsy for a designer of clothing.

Here is a shot of the coat from the back. The buckle was to match this spiral design and was used on the belt for this coat.


A special thanks to Sol Azul for letting me make this buckle for this coat.

Another Railroad Spike Knife

Another spike knife. Hand forged and quenched for hardness. I left the hammer marks in the knife. I think they add uniqueness and character.


This particular knife was made for my brother. I used steel letter stamps for the initials.
