DiResta: Skull Belt Buckle

In each bi-monthly episode of DiResta (every other Wednesday at 2pm PT), artist and master builder Jimmy DiResta (Dirty Money, Hammered, Against the Grain, Trash for Cash) lets us into his workshop, to look over his shoulder while he builds whatever strikes his fancy. On this episode of DiResta, Jimmy casts a cool looking skull belt buckle, maybe to hold up his badass leather-aproned work pants from the last episode.
For more info on this video, tools, materials, sketchbook images, and Jimmy's notes on the build, check out this post on MAKE: blog.makezine.com/2013/04/17/d...

The amount of fun you can get with a set of wood chipping tools (or whatever those are called), a piece of wood and some creativity/imagination. Pretty awesome.

[@nobuckle40]

Awesome!

[@xMegaVideos]

That's insane!

[@piggiepieccs1]

I legit came here for tips on making this for cosplay and now I know how to make a real belt buckle lol! Even though I can make this with less work it’s still awesome to see how the real thing is done

[@optimuprimoto]

I find also very impressive, the design of the belt attatchment. I know that it is not a big deal, but you did it with only one piece of iron strip, by bending it correctly, and i would have thought something more complex and difficult definitely .
And also i had never seen this clay mold beign made in reality, except from some movies or documentaries that only show you one bit and not the whole proccess, which is something i like with your videos instead.

[@xrateduser]

Amazing! I want to learn!

[@Trezze72]

Sou fã desse brother
