            I got lots of ketchup (and B.O.) all over my 555s and had to wash them. I need them dry asap… so I made a box fan sandwich to dry them asap!

            Edit: bone dry in a little over an hour.

                      I blew the button off my Beatle Busters. (Giles was right! I shouldn't have sized down!) So I made a sew-on button out an old copper penny, and affixed it with some Kevlar. It turned out really great. I made the holes in the penny using a center punch, and hammered out the penny making it concave using a ball-pin hammer as a die and a 9 pound hammer. It took 2 blows over a piece of soft pine to make the right shape. I might like this better than the regular button. 🙂

                            Thanks. I am most pleased. I needed something that could stand up to the heft of your amazing 25 oz denim!

                                      Again, thank you. Here's the Kevlar, center punch, and ball-pin you need to d-i-y. You can get the Kevlar on eBay for less than $10 shipped. You also need a mini-sledge, and a pre-1982 USofA penny that is not corred with zinc.

                                        Nice work.  Like that idea. Although I feel a British penny wouldn't look as cool. And god only knows how long a euro cent would keep your pants up.
