Default Re: Gene's 2nd contest submission

Well, I got caught up with my day job and maybe now I can focus on my fun job for a
while. At Doug's suggestion, I rounded the corners of the buckle blank to conform more
closely to the silver setting. I like it better now. Marked outline in the center is the outline of the setting.






Preparing to transfer the design, I first print it out on a transparency. The rest of my transfer procedure
is the same as in my first buckle submission. (sandblast technique)

A view of the buckle with the design transfered (sandblasted) and darkened so as to show up
a little better. I am now ready to start cutting the main lines. Again, the beauty of this setting is that I can
now remove it to do the cutting with nothing interfering. I should have more pics soon of the main cuts.
