[Bryn-gwlad] Decorate Rivets

[Eric W. Brown]

Well someone has already posted the one I was thinking about...

 

But I also found this..

 

http://www.bractea.freha.pl/mprice.html

 

which is pretty fancy, I suggest looking around on the site it's very
nice.

 

 

And you being, Eule, I post this for your inspiration...

 

http://steampunkworkshop.com/electroetch.shtml

 

I've done a very little of this, and think it opens up a lot of

Possibilities for making your own.

 

In particular I'm 100% sure we can improve on the process here:

 

http://steampunkworkshop.com/electro-mach2.shtml

 

to create "washers" that look like anything you want.

 

I've already got a complete setup for etching one side of up to 10"*10"
sheets of brass, 

And am part way through building a smaller one for double sided etching
of  4"*4" test pieces.

 

If that's too post period a technique for you, I can easily teach you
how to do Ferric Chloride etching of

Brass if you have not done it... You can use sharpie as a resist and
hand draw your own, a nice deep etch takes about 12 hours.

 

Finally if you are putting it on clothing and not armor, you can look at
leather places for riveted conchos.

	One of the big armoring sites had, not rivets but "washers" that
were cast brass and quite attractive.

	 

	If you're interested I'll try to dig up a link.

	Does anyone on this list have any links to pages with decorative
brass rivets?  I've done some searching and can't find what I'm looking
for....something decorative for armour.
