GA-BLBB - GOOD ART HLYWD Belt Loop Buddy in Brass

[scotty]

Also, for anyone wondering - it DOES fit through IH 25oz denim belt loops! (I have the Corter Leather bottlehook and it couldn't, they were too thick  :D)

The one I had did (silver one above). It took a little finagling, but it fit for me.

Some of our brass BLB's being made and packed (yes, we place a large order)…..The red things are the wax moulds and when built up like that are called trees.  The trees get surrounded by powder under a mixture of vacuum and pressure, then molten metal  is forced into the tree, melting the wax and forming the item....

Fascinating…

Wow.. how are the wax mounds made?

[Giles]

Not sure how much I am allowed to say…...

Assume it's just normal wax molding…

The way Josh does this is next level sophisticated, that is why the quality is off the scale.  Dude even makes his own silver and gold alloys as he trusts no one else to do it to his exacting standards…

[Peterpiper]

No worries Giles. Snowys post filled in the gaps. Tbh, I just had a bit of a moment. Kinda misunderstood the pictures.. ::)
