At the risk of combining two threads into what can only turn out catastrophically, how about a jewelled beard comb?

Surely on this forum there must be a market for beard decorations? Rings to tie beards (or long hair) neatly etc.

Also, stoppers for small vials and bottles (for moustache wax and beard oil?)

 

[squishy]

For some reason I'm loving the idea of beard decorations, might give that one a go some time

I managed to finish the ring I started the other day, you can see a pic here..

If you happen to make a cloak pin in coppoer or brass, I might have to break the 'no spending until further notice' rule my wife has imposed due to severe financial circumstances.

She will then probably kill me, but I might well die happy.

haha

What sort of thing did you have in mind?
My first attempt is going to be a simple penannular style in either copper or bronze I think

Exactly that. For some reason I said brass rather than bronze, but bronze is what I meant.

 

[HillBill]

You could make some jewelled bolsters for my knives, and set some stones into the pins

I'll give it a whirl then and see what you think What sort of size would you need?

Could do Need to practice a lot before I attempt that though

Seem to have talked myself into a commision, don't I?

Quite like a largish buckle myself, especially for a wool cloak which is quite thick, so perhaps 6-7cm diameter. Kind of fond of the simple, unadorned peasant look.

haha

It's just good to get an idea of what sizes people actually use. I've only ever seen pics, never actually used one myself so wasn't sure what sort of size would be useful. I'll probably have a go at a few designs later.
