Starting with a blank;
and some tools;
bevel the inside edges;
round the tang cutout;
bevel the outside edges;
and bevel around the corners;
round the sides;
add a tang I made earlier;
And after about 2.5 hours of work, you could call it done but usually it takes another couple of hours to soften the edges and polish/brush the whole thing and then assemble it.

Brilliant- my fingers are getting sore just looking at pics
"Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black."

Re: Making a GPF buckle
Thanks for the kind words guys
It's mostly the thumb and index finger that get sore doing this work.
