Osmel Raga if both edges of the placket have button holes instead of just one you can connect one fancy button to a plain one (probably a bit larger for safety-it should be too big for the hole) with a thread shank. Think of the setup as something like cuff links but oriented in such a way to lay flat like a regular placket. This way it would only take a minute to remove the fancy buttons for washing and it would be just as fast to reattach them. It’s also possible to sew the buttons to a strip instead of individually to plain buttons which would probably be a more practical idea but that would only work with the one shirt as the button spacing would be fixed.
@@missingallmymarbles7670 hoooo I stumbled upon a good one here! I'll read this carefully on my break after work. Also I really like magnets, there must be a way to incorporate magnets though it will be difficult
Osmel Raga magnets may work for some jewelry and purses but remember, they can mess with electronics. Especially if a person is using a medical device, magnets can be EXTREMELY hazardous to one’s health and life. The practicalities of shirt fastening means that you’re very likely to lose magnets (and thus the expensive buttons) and if you tried to leave the magnets in the shirt, it would be impossible to wash it. Guess who has forgotten magnets in their pockets before...they LOVE the drum in the washing machine. Magnets also tend not to stay closed all that well unless they’re extremely strong...maybe not quite as much of an issue for a guy than for a girl but still, it’s something to take into account. In general, unless absolutely needed for a certain special effect there are much simpler and more user friendly options for fastening clothes. They may come in handy for a stripper’s routine for example-much less noisy to rip off than Velcro. Edit: lots of time making things for theater, tech, and a lifetime of sewing things. I have a fondness for weird ideas.
One thought on your buttons. In the military and sometimes for fancy buttons they create buttons that can be removed (not sewn on). You could get the base (removable), then use that as the backing and epoxy the opal onto that. The advantage here is when you wash the shirt/suit you can remove the buttons to prevent damage.
“In a viscous game of beer pong”, I laughed my butt off! Seriously, where did it go? They turned out really great, not that I doubted you for a moment. I’d totally wear a shirt with buttons if it had opal buttons. Thanks for always making me laugh! I’m still envious of your cab machine though! 😂💗😂💗😂
Dude so much fun watching what you create both from the stone and in the form of an informative entertaining video of opal goodness. I always love the videos you create. Thank you my friend. So much!
I only know about opals what I've learned from your videos, and I LOVE watching. Fun, funny, educational, and interesting. Thank you so much for sharing with us!!
This has GOT to be a first! HOTCHA, HOTCHA, HOTCHA! Altho I've seen "Mother-of-Pearl" buttons, NEVER have I seen "Opal" buttons! Good to see another excellent vid from you. Thank you!💙
You are so dang funny. Loved seeing a new video from you. Quite a challenge you had there, but challenge accepted, and completed with style. My personal favorite: “The full screen viewing of the air quotes” Be sure and tell the dude handwash only 🤣
Yay!! Another video! Wow... and I thought you were gonna do a non opal video, but this was interesting and very well done. Those are so tiny... reminds me when I used to paint 1" stones to look like animals.
YOUR RIGHT 100% OF THE TIME. I love watching you and your geniuses mind at work. BTW Your nephew is very handsome. The buttons are great and you made a great choice.
Only a very competent lapidarist would attempt such a feat and do it with such great humor! I hope the young fellow who receives this incredible work appreciates it. I inherited a large button collection (over 500) from my grandmother, most of which are 50 to 150+ years old. Not one is made of opal. You must be the first to make opal buttons, and with four holes no less! Congratulations! They are very beautiful. Thanks for an entertaining video.
6:09 I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THIS PART I HAD TO PAUSE WATCHING TO KEEP MYSELF FROM BREAKING THE SILENCE OF THE ROOM! WHY I EVER THOUGHT I COULD WATCH HIS VIDEOS ANYWHERE ELSE BUT IN COMPLETE PRIVACY BEATS ME! HE KILLS ME EVERY TIME 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You always have such clever and informative videos, yet you always keep them light and funny. What can be better than learning about opals and other things while getting a giggle or 2 out of it. The buttons turned out to be beautiful!
But No he wants OPAL buttons 🙋🏽♂️ you’re videos always relax me fun story I was out one day seen a beautiful lady with a necklace I asked what kind of necklace is that she said she wasn’t sure it was a gift from her grandma then I said that’s a OPAL necklace she said o ya that’s what it is made her smile and made a friend thanks to you taking time to educate me thanks
wow! what an expensive shirt! if i had those beautifully made buttons, i would have them set in diamond earrings. ❤️🙏🌺🌹. thank u again for all your videos!!
Awesome Donald, you’re a great Uncle. But wait, doesn’t the kid still needs some opal cuff links? Then might as well deck him out with a loaned insured matching ring, and belt buckle and beautiful pendant! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Have two nurses from my doctor’s office that cleaned out all my closest’s and medicines and top middle Jewerly drawer to organize everything. They went crazy over the Opal you were able to get out of that box I sent you. Did you ever try to see what was lurking under the burst of color under the black Opal ? It was rounded on one end I got to the color and having no saw quit. That was the one opal rock I thought you would pick to see what might be hiding under it! You could make him a belt buckle with that flat brown stuff if he could identify it as a test. 😂😂😂😂😂. Love your videos
I used ethiopian opal beads for button clasps on the ends of my bracelets:) this is an amazing idea! I have been working on a dress for the last 8 years (only working on it for about 20mins every other month.lol) im so glad you posted this as i would love to add a few opals to it for when its finally finished. Lol thank you so muvh for sharing!
Beautiful buttons on hideous shirt with hideous-er red yarn thread. Whomp whomp sadness. (Ps; picture beautiful crisp white cotton shirt with blue green opal buttons sewn on with matching thread.)
I love opal! It’s my birthstone, and if it wasnt I would lie and say it was, it’s the most gorgeous stone ever! And while I wouldn’t wear them, those buttons looked amazing! You did an amazing job, I hope the guy thanked you for them!
I couldn't stop laughing. I've been watching your videos for a long time, never wrote a comment. Let me just tell you, I love your videos, I'd love to be you, when I'm your age. :D Much love and support from student from Poland. :)))
Just a thought.... maybe oversized buttons on dark shirts could really catch on.... they would certainly look the business.... lots of flash.... great vid always enjoy your efforts.... opal is beautiful
Now the guy has to wash his shirt by hand, if he uses the washing machine his buttons are going to break.😀Very beautiful buttons!😀
@@PulitzerOpal Ok, now that makes sense, he works with textiles, that's why he wanted something beautiful on his fabric!😁 Greetings!😀😀😀
Im pretty sure theres many ways to make detachable buttons

Amazing. Post a shot of the graduate in his one of a kind shirt Dad!👍

Opal buttons would be beautiful on a pea coat. 😍
Someone’s a super duper opal expert button maker!🥰
LOve your wit and admire your expertise..Thankyou for sharing them both with us once again..
I liked the rough edge on the buttons it gave them all a distinct character.
OK...I had to stop this vid. 3 times to wipe the tears away.. Way to funny. Love it.
Yay!! Another video!

Pulitzer Opal Your nephew is smart!!!!
Those stones that you cut and polished came up bright as a button !!!!
At the end of the day Dads really go out of their way for their kids.
Button, button who's got the button. They looked a lot better than I thought they would. Well done,
Love to see the shirt they went on. Great job old mate.

Those buttons are awesome
thank you for the entertaining and funny video excellent as always
You are the greatest opal guy on RUclips...really. Seriously. I want buttons made of Yeti Teeth. Okay?
Will you be the one holding down the Yeti and pulling his teeth? That would make a great RUclips video.
@@PulitzerOpal LOL can't stand those stained molars.
You are amazing! If I ever have a spare penny I should buy some opals from you

Nice job on the buttons holes looks great as well

Glad to see you aren't the only one in your family pursuing gems!
These turned out fantastic! As with everything you do:)
U have such an ability with these gems it’s always amazing to watch
Red thread does not do those beautiful buttons justice!!! They’re fabulous!!
I really liked this one!!
That idea might just catch on! How many friends does your nephew have? Lol! Great video as usual!
He won't make any more for my friends :(
