ONE DOZEN Hand forged mini roses


I have been making these roses for quite some time. I now offer them on Etsy as a single, 3-pack, 6-pack and as a dozen.

These roses measure about 12" long, and 3/4" diameter rose-bud. They look great on a shelf and never wilt or die!

Custom Pipe Wrench buckle

Fun buckle to make. Hand cut wrenches, welded on from the back. Hammered edge. Black paint. Nice and clean, I am happy with the finished product.

Custom spiral buckle

A very unique and interesting idea for a buckle. This is part of a larger outfit created by the buyer. Here is the original design sent to me.


This was somewhat challenging. The hardest part was trying to get the swirl the same as the design and to keep to the measurements. I might have pics later of the finished product with my buckle attached.

Baby feet.

A very unique idea. The execution of this design was a bit tricky.
I had to practice multiple times before I was able to get my welder set correctly.
I needed to be able to place each toe print, I felt that was the most important thing to get right.

This is the customers dog. I was asked to make a buckle based on a picture sent to me.

Finished product. I decided to add a little detail in the cutout. Not much, but enough to help identify the shape. Eye and nostril marks were made.

Another Custom Name

This one was fun to make. I am pleased with the result. This buckle measures 2"x 4 1/2". The finish is natural with clear laquer.

This is an image/logo that was sent to me. This image was quite challenging, because of the lettering. It is not easy to hand chisel letters that are not straight.



The finished product. I debated whether or not to paint it yellow. After much contemplation I decided it needed more "pop".
