I have made my first three cabs..😁..and now need to decide what to do with them. I tried wire wrapping them...that's an art all in itself!
I have surfed around and have found a belt buckle that looks interesting.
Anyone every tried to fit a cab in a silver dollar insert belt buckle?
Self taught...Beginner level?

Also also depends on the buckle insert. This will dictate how the girdle needs to be cut.

elpam - Great job on those cabs! Those are extremely flat-topped...and no apparent scratches! Way to go!! I've done the silver-dollar belt buckles before. It was harder than I thought. The cabs had to be super thin...like the width of a silver dollar! Also, they need to be the same exact size of a silver dollar to fit into the insets just right...

Thanks everyone... I had so much fun making them. I know I have a lot to learn but it's a start. They are oval and they shine
