Poker tourney buckle

Greg,

Could you tell us what kind of set-up you used for your photos? They are very well done, just like your buckles.

Steve, jlseymour, Ron ... It is very rewarding to receive compliments from you all, thank you. Webad ... Believe it or not I just got a new camera with more megapixil capabilities and a macro zoom lens. I am still experimenting with lighting. This buckle was photograped in our master bath. Now I call that high tech photography ... hahaha!!!

Best regards,
Greg Pauline

Greg... a tutorial of fabrication would be great!!! My soldering stinks and everyone does it different. Some people use chips... others tin it before cutting. would you be willing to do something small like a concho or something???

wow, great looking piece. how did you do the beaded edge around the outside? is it some kind of beaded wire? or something you build up yourself?

Shawn, It would be a pleasure to do a tutorial in the very near future. Thank you for asking. Allan, Thank you for your compliment! You're correct in assuming that it is a half bead wire. Purchased from Rio Grande.

Best regards,
Greg Pauline

Greg, I would love to see a tutorial on soldering! Your buckles are amazing, I show Quarter Horses and have seen a lot of trophy buckles over the years. Your work stands out as one of the best!
