YinTx also, those edges tho. even on the belt slots Have to have good edges. They'll be better today. 2 hours ago, fredk said: Very nice work indeedy The screws are pozi-drive [or Phillips drive] counter-sunk head screws or machine screws set into screw cups - depends on what Mike has on the other side, if anything I use brass screw cups to back yellow or gold rhinestone rivets and shiny nickle-plated ones for silver and coloured rhinestones. Holds em better and makes em look a bit bigger Thanks Fred! 1 hour ago, ScoobyNewbie said: And where do you get them? The screws and screw cups I mean. Did you shade the edges a darker color, or is that a trick of the light? If you did, how did you do that? It makes it look very classy. I ordered from a company in CA since Greece doesn't have a lot of this stuff on the island. 1 hour ago, Jack1970 said: That is really beautiful work!

Members chrisash Posted September 14, 2018 Members Report Posted September 14, 2018 Actually I like the edges as they are, neat and tidy and not built up to make a statement like some others do with perfect edges but that high artificial look Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me
Members Frankzweekhorst Posted September 14, 2018 Members Report Posted September 14, 2018 I would call this perfection, not a thing I would change :-) Quote

Members Riem Posted September 14, 2018 Members Report Posted September 14, 2018 Shoh, of this thing - not the thing that belongs to the other thing, but this... thing - it's not a brute. It's a refined, exemplar thing, a thing of joy to behold. Sigh.

And "envy" is one of the seven deadly sins. I think I'll just call "that thing"... an aspirational piece...
