tig brazing

messed around for a few minutes tonight, thinking about belt buckles. this didn't turn out as i hoped, but i still like the look of tig brazing, especially on unfinished steel. i'm liking the idea of using unfinished steel for leather hardware, at least in places where you would touch the thing all the time, the idea being that the oils from the body and from the leather will keep it from rusting. and we want to make things that are used on a daily basis, it'll keep you from leaving the thing on the shelf to rust, we'll see where this idea goes though....
