Custom belt buckles?

**AckZel** · 22nd October 05, 01:00 PM

Does anyone know anyone who makes custom design kilt belt buckles? Where or who should I ask about custom designs? I really want a buckle nobody else has

try pm'ing hank... he had the XMARKS Kilt pin made up... they may be able to make buckles for you as well!

One note... there will probably be a minimum order, so get ready to shell out some major cash.

It may be a bit of a long shot,but you could look for a local blacksmith to make some hand forged ones.I just finished a few sets for my future kilts and it's not very difficult.

I did talk to a silversmith/jeweler once about doing one for me several years ago. The price is what prohibited me from following through.

What about getting a plain buckle and either engraving it or fixing a badge of significance to you onto the buckle?

Do you have any themes or designs in mind?

Plan A would be to learn a bit of soapstone carving and casting. The belt loop and the hook are set in the molten mix.

Plan B would be to find some welder friends, TIG is probably best, and see what you come up with.

What did you have in mind?

Thanks! I was thinking about buckle with St Michael slaying the dragon. And another was one with reindeers... Maybe I should put up a company of my own... Maybe I think about it...

excellent choice, just remember to tuck in the pointy bits.

wait...Michael the Archangel never fought reindeers, must be an apocryphal book.
