Forged Iron Belt Buckles

Forged Iron Belt Buckles come in all shapes and sizes.  Each one you wear is an expression of yourself. Coming up with new designs and layouts is fun.  I custom make tooling to imprint into the steel to create the pattern seen below.  I make the buckles from Mild steel/Stainless steel/Bronze/copper.  Creating the tool is a journey that leads to the buckle.
