    I have been dabbling in the leather game for a week or 2 and tryed my hand at making a few different straps.

    In order to be different all hardware including the buckle is made from .50 caliber rifle brass shell casings. That I shape and file by hand

    I have set a few pieces out to to folks so if anyone is interested shoot me a PM. Thanks

    very nice, indeed ... the brass gives it a somewhat brute aspect, but does clash a bit with SS watches (as shown with the moonwatch) ... refreshing work, nevertheless...

    I wish you luck with your endeavor

    No question about it. This is just the first run. I can get some steel case rounds. To fix that issue
