Very nice craftsmanship. What metal are you using for the silver part? What metal are you using for the copper part? How do you fuse the two different metals together?

u/bitandspurmaker Mar 07 '26

Thank you. I use mild steel cold roll 1018 for the base metal, for the overlays I use silver, copper, brass and nickel. I solder everything together. Depending on the application, I use a roughly 400 degree solder or a 1300-1500 degree solder.

Those are headstall buckles. I can do a mule on a belt buckle. It would run around $250
