Cuff Links

[firewhatfire]

I saw a pair of cuff links a while back and thout I could make some of those. I had a piece of a blank left over from phunky(I cant remember the rest of his screen name) So I give it a try. I have never actually held a pair or used them so I was not exactly sure on the length the stem should be. Next time the tem may be a tad longer. I gotta find someone who wears the things or buy me a shirt so they can get a real test. Comments and Crituques are welcome and thnaks for looking.

I think it's just me. I looked at a post I had already viewed and can't see thos epics either although I could see them about 20 minutes ago...

Look very nice - how did you hold them to polish?

 

[glycerine]

They are there now!

I can see them. Nice execution. That's a novel idea. The cuff links could be matched to a tie. I bet those would look sharp in the the black and gold trustone too.

Nice looking cuff links! I haven't seen a pair of cuff links in years... And never a hand turned pair!

I started in a 4 jaw chuck for turning and finishing the large end. The small end I took a collet chuck and put it in to knock rough part off, but mostly just to hold it and sand it by hand.

Look very nice - how did you hold them to polish?
