Thanks Paul … I just buy the coins ready made - I don’t have your metal work skills

Not as much as you think - the earlier ones were catch up I hadn’t got ‘round to posting because of one thing or another

At last I can shake off the shame of poorly matching belt and shoes...😉

Thanks @Duke Mantee I appreciate the effort you put in to get to the finished piece,  very much looking forward to receiving it.

I very much appreciate you asking and the trust you put in me - thank you very much

Wickett & Craig harness and Japanese hardware except the brass saddlers rivets … amazing how much harder brass is than the traditional copper
