Very classy.

Lets see what thing you make for the bigger thing that those smaller things go into!

Double stack 9mm things? for what big thing?

Thank you, wish I could show you, but I don't have it.  HK P30L

Have to have good edges.  They'll be better today.

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!

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.

any regular hardware store will carry them in stock. The bigger the store, the greater the range of sizes and finish

Wish I had a regular hardware store here!

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

Thank you!  I see you're in Amsterdam.  Will you go to the ELWATS show in October?

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.

Thank you, but why sigh?

Because - "so much to learn, so little time"... And "envy" is one of the seven deadly sins. I think I'll just call "that thing"... an aspirational piece...

outstanding craftsmanship!

Handmade doesn't have flaws it's just built-in character.
