New belt buckle for my brother

[Slant6]

Was able to get some shop time 2 weeks ago and pewter cast my brother this new belt buckle for Christmas. He's a senior at East Carolina University and has strong ties to PeeDee the pirate. This is still a work in progress but is pretty much done.

A simple process. Only about 3 hours on the CNC machine, with 3 manual tool changes, and then a quick little pewter pour and then bam! Neat little trinket. Then of course several hours of sanding painting and polishing, but who counts those?

I posted about this one on the old world (kinja), but my NC buckle came out pretty good!

I'm thinking about making an Oppo belt buckle and auctioning it off here and donating the money towards the hyphen team, is this something anyone would be interested in? I could also do some plasma cut and wood signs if anyone would be interested in those.

Imagine one of those but with an Oppo logo!
