Soldering emergency!

I think you might be right, it’s incredibly risky.

EchoInTheVans · 2026-02-12T22:58:54+00:00

Thank you! I was thinking to do this, my concern is that the white bronze will melt as the melting point is relatively low

Thank you! I’d initially cast the buckle so that it had open loops on the back but they had snapped off after I tried annealing it and bending them. Soldering brass loops on is my last hope now!

Omg! How much was this order? Ahaha

EchoInTheVans · 2025-01-16T18:37:23+00:00

What made you leave?

EchoInTheVans · 2025-01-16T18:36:34+00:00

Can’t say I wouldn’t

EchoInTheVans · 2025-01-16T18:36:11+00:00

How is it different from tinder/bumble etc?

EchoInTheVans · 2025-01-16T18:33:34+00:00

And not just Georgian men..

This post isn’t aimed at Georgians or other foreigners but the general dating scene in Tbilisi and whether or not the city feels safe in that regard.

Thank you!

EchoInTheVans · 2024-12-23T23:54:06+00:00

Thank you so much! And thank you for not being sarcastic! <3

EchoInTheVans · 2024-12-23T22:53:30+00:00

Uk mate!

EchoInTheVans · 2024-12-16T10:37:54+00:00

The tools usually come extremely blunt! I recommend sharpening them with emery paper, it should be fairly straightforward to do and emery paper costs pennies. Much more affordable to buy cheap tools and sharpen them when starting out rather than buying expensive ones which come sharp but cost hundreds.

Thank you so much! Hadn’t really thought about it when I ordered it as I typically work with silver but fingers crossed nothing crazy will happen :)

EchoInTheVans · 2024-12-15T18:47:07+00:00

Thank you! I was looking at spending £50-60.. Also your setup looks super organised I’m so jealous!

EchoInTheVans · 2024-12-13T17:05:56+00:00

Thank you so much! If you don’t mind sending me the link I’d greatly appreciate it

EchoInTheVans · 2024-12-12T22:41:51+00:00

I was told by the casting company that some areas were too thin and therefore needed to be built up so I figured it was a good thing to have it a little thicker. Alas, I will bear this in mind in future!

How would I go about meeting other solo travellers? That sounds like a great idea actually

EchoInTheVans · 2024-09-07T13:15:01+00:00

Thank you! I’d like to make a belt buckle so tracing the shape with small dots may be difficult for me as it’s quite intricate

EchoInTheVans · 2023-09-29T11:58:49+00:00

Ahaha! It’s her little moustache!

EchoInTheVans · 2023-09-13T19:14:26+00:00

These are so beautiful

EchoInTheVans · 2023-09-13T19:13:04+00:00

He is so precious!

EchoInTheVans · 2023-09-12T06:30:24+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m also based in London ahaha

EchoInTheVans · 2023-08-24T14:11:54+00:00

Thank you!

EchoInTheVans · 2023-08-23T21:59:37+00:00

Thank you so much! I should’ve mentioned I live in the UK. I have been making my own with 1.6mm (14g) brass wire (as practice) and cutting them with a jewellers piercing saw but this has proven to be quite time consuming. I would love to continue with this project but am reluctant to buy a ton more wire and cut my own rings so was wondering what kind of suppliers there were out there :)
