Members Chief Filipino Posted April 27, 2017 Members Report Posted April 27, 2017 I have experimented with making conchos out of quarters. I used "Alpha fry" non electrical repair solder and flux kit. I domed the quarters, brushed flux on it, cut off a tiny bit of the solder into the quarter, torched it, let it melt, then stuck the chicago screw in. It seems fairly sturdy though I haven't had a project to put it on as of yet. I may just try to tear it apart and see how much force it takes. I'm definitely not an expert though.

That's a pretty cool idea. Let me know how it works out. Quote Rob www.ridgewayleatherworks.com IG: @Ridgewayleatherworks FB: RidgewayLeatherworks
