Kilt Clasp

Tony,
That is very nice work.
Do you handcarve a master from wood then use that make a silicon mold for the pewter?
Cheers

No, kind of long-winded explanation... the short version:
I joke around about being a mad scientist, but the truth be told, I really am one.... for a living. I create new processes for my employer, and this was one of them. Without going into proprietary details: no casting, no molds. Took about 3 hours, from design to completion. (I used this as a "calibration" project.) It's made from solid magnesium: Very light, yet strong, holds incredibly sharp detail.

Very nice work! What is the diameter of the clasp?

Approx. 3-1/2 inches.

Really nice, are you planning on making more?

Thanks!
No, this was just some tinkering...
