cuff links

[Glenn McCullough]

Thought I'd try this, not difficult, but came out nice. Took about 20 minutes to make both, got 20 bucks for the pair.

Those look like the ones from Timberbits. I got some Sterling ones in from the UK but no bezel.

Get mine from him:

Makes a good maching kit with an euro style pen.

Glenn, I have made about thirty pair or so. Just got some backs from timber bits and like them a lot. Was just using backs and gluing in a recess on the back side. I googled cuff link backs and bought a bunch of silver and gold. I do like the ones from timber bits cause they are quite easy, the other I made a mandrel to turn them on. double face tape them to it and off I go.

Very nice, I made a few, got a couple dozen more to make, even sold a couple of pairs so far. Carl

Thanks! They are pretty easy....I got mine off ETSY, from China. Not too happy, they each have a rough spot, maybe where they pulled them out of the silver , I dont know, not a metals guy. They took almost 30 days to get, too. I'll have to try timber bits.
One good thing is the guy I made these for said to make him a different color every couple weeks and he will buy them.

Took almost 30 days from timberbits as well. Ernie at Beartooth woods is looking into these as well.

Nice, Glenn. Good use of the cut-offs from blanks.
