Many years ago I worked a maintenance shutdown at an industrial mill and one of the older welders I was working with was wearing an arrowhead belt buckle he had made himself. Since then, I've been intending to make a few.
Moving clockwise from the top left, the designs are inspired by the Native American patterns "Calf Creek", "Ohio Hopewell", "Hardin", and "Godar/Big Sandy".
I'm pretty happy with how they turned out, even if I'm not all that great at Tig welding the hardware onto the main body.
Each is made from 1/4" stainless steel plate with a slight radius, and 5/32" diameter stainless steel Tig electrode.
All are available for order and purchase. I am open to making other specific designs, as long as the pattern is condusive to a well-proportioned buckle.

A wyrm-dragon themed cloak pin I made for a Facebook forging challenge. The flame is hammered copper, silver-soldered into a small hole in the throat.

Made a trivet as a Christmas gift, I like how it turned out. Made from sections of 8" steel pipe and some small pieces of 1-1/4" x 1/4" flat steel bar.
Might use brass or copper rivets next time.

Tried a couple new techniques I found in Matt Jenkins' new book, "Hooked". Really pleased with how they turned out.
Both are made from 1/4" x 1-1/2" steel flat bar. I highlighted the flower hook petals with a brass brush; I really like how the color pops.
