How to Make an Engraved Belt Buckle...and Also How Not to...

- In this video I make a hand-engraved buckle to fit a belt that I bought second hand. I have also tried my hands on making a brass inlay. This buckle is made out of 2x40x60mm brass plate, 2mm and 4mm brass rods for the ring and catch.

you have a fantastic sense of humour. and thank you for NOT hiding your mistakes. showing how you roll with them is a great example to my kids... and me!

Like a French Bob Ross for belts

Yes, upside down, and when people ask why, look down and tell them: "Looks right side up to me!"
“Let’s rivet this pigeon” should be a new way of saying “let’s get this party started!” lol
lmao
I like it lol.
"Let's rrrrrrrrrrrivet THIS PIGEON UP IN HERRRRRRRRRRRE!"
*bass drops, lasers sweep to and fro*
Looks good ! The only one in the world!
I want a t-shirt with that
Literally laughed out loud and probably woke the neighbors when you started singing. Love it! Fabulous job and I love your sense of humor!
The pigeon is now in the correct orientation for when you need to look down at it as a reminder of what your logo is (like those cheat-sheet T-shirts).
Love the turntable mechanism.
Dear Uri, thank you for existing.
First brass bucle i made was upside down too. Been wearing it that way for over 15 years now.
When I am down and need encouragement, I just watch one of your videos and I know I will be immensely encouraged.
I appreciate how you show your mistakes and dropping the pieces often because that's the reality of it. Awesome belt, keep up the good work sir!
your scrollwork (the swirly plant-like engraving) is inspiring
Great project. To you upside down pigeon problem, why do you not undo the soldering and switch both sides? I know it messes with the back, but you could simply fill the old holes with something and and file it smooth.
Thank you! you're right, it would be a bit messy but definitely doable. at the end of the day I have decided to leave it this way as a lesson and a reminder for me to always double check myself. In this case it's not a big deal but it could be a major problem if I don't pay enough attention in other projects.
i was thinking the same but Im not a pigeon fan so I kinda like it upside down.... lol
Now when you look down to your crotch you see a pigeon so it is how you look at it
@@geroenverbruggen8662 When I was doing commercial electrical work, I would often take notes on my carhartt pants while on the phone and driving without a notepad handy. It was asked of me on more than one occasion why I had all the upside-down writing on my legs. My response was always to look down at the words
umbers, and reply "What do you mean? They look fine to me!"
He made the ring high enough to use again. The little post can be redone.
I Applaud Your commitment to Carry on with it. My OCD would be through the Roof 🤣🤣🤣
THIS is why the pigeon is upside down?! 😁😁😁 Love it.
I am so glad I accidentally (youtube algorithm gods finally did something right) found your channel! I love it! Funny, inspiring and really interesting projects! I do leather works (carving etc) as a hobby and I've started to do more brass/copper stuff too so watching you do hand engraving has been very inspiring. All the best from Finland, can't wait to see more of your videos in the future!
I'm so happy I found your channel. Everything you make is a piece of art. It is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! Amazing. I love it. You have a lot of patience and know your art. Thanks for showing us
Uri, your videos have become a calming presence in my life in these uncertain times. You aren't afraid to be weird, to show your mistakes and to be a little wacky. May you be an inspiration to us all.
Your videos always make my day. It’s amazing to see great vision combined with great ability.
noctrnalAndroid thanks! I wish I could make a video everyday to make your day:)
you're a madman...and a genius. I LOVE that you're leaving it as it is as a reminder.
This is the best video I've watched in weeks on RUclips. You're the best! I feel like I went mining for videos and struck gold.
I simply feel you are a true artist who teaches us all the most appropriate level f humility and humor. Thank you so much!
I could watch your vids all day you're an artist an engineer and a comedian. Upside down or not your work is fantastic thank you.
even upside down that pigeon still looks pretty cool
I love that your logo is still upside down to this day! Way to commit lol.
Love the videos btw
I believe your pigeon is our partridge?
Kidding… but we used to have a show called "the partridge family".
The partridge symbol looked just like that.
Nice job!
Thank you, for sharing!
I just stumbled upon your channel yesterday and I've already watched everyone of your videos. Your creativity is very impressive and mistakes are just a part of learning and improving! Can't wait to see your future projects!
I really appreciate your videos. You are a great inspiration. Thanks for doing what you do.
This channel is my most favourite. I'm afraid of running out this videos.
love your work and your humor!
Brah you had my dying laughing with the whole turn table thing at the end!
And this is why your brand is an upside down pigeon!!! I had not seen this video so far and now I finally now the lore!!!
I love your decision to adopt the upside down pigeon ! Its a logo that will be remembered by many. So don’t feel badly!
Awesome build. Great video 👍
Cool buckle! My logo is a pigeon on an anvil "Blue Feather Forge". My grandfather and dad's friends used to race pigeons. I've had a rescued one that I found at work about a year and a half ago. When it was a few days old it fell out of the nest and it's wing tip was run over by a railcar. Healthy, flying and won't leave her new home.
Thank you for a great video. I enjoyed how you took us step by step and included the mistake, it is part of any project and I could totally relate lol. The etching and final product was fantastic!
You are the best my friend. You make the world and us better watching you!!!
Another perfect project.
I would love to be able to engrave like you, it is amazing watching you work.
I love ur singing...you make me laugh....love it.Amazing talent.
I was going to say something about the pigeon being upside down but you seemed so busy at the time.
Xd
I know this was 4 years ago, but I hope you're still wearing this buckle because it's awesome. And the correct answer when people ask why your buckle is upside-down, is you tell them you love pigeons so much, you wanted it to be right-side-up when you look at it
You are awesome Uri! Keep it up!
Uri very nice piece I like the way you inlayed yer
Pigeon , also no detail
Just polished nice touch.
I'm glad you leave the mistakes for all to see.
I purchased a silver buckle & I noticed before
Leaving the silversmiths
Shop the anchor for the belt was on the wrong side.The guy looked at it
An said you see all these buckles( about 20)
In display case .I had to change all of them.we had a good laugh swapped a couple stories how easy it is to make unforseen mistakes.Thats just life
An we learn & move on.
Really good work like wise the small hammer with all the scrolling beautiful. Thanks for the videos & projects you do.
You keep me smiling .
Also, best ending 👌 and love the cat baskets 🧺 🐈 . . .
So good!!! Thank you for your great humor!
Your engravings are out of this world! Gorgeous!!! Also some of the funniest videos on youtube haha you're awesome man! keep it up!!!
Lol I was thinking to myself “is that up side down? No I’m sure he checked it” best up side down pigeon belt buckle ever made!
Just tell anyone that asks that its upside down for you to look at and appreciate not them :P like how people either wear rings with words to face others or themselves. Or just say you checking me out :P why you looking there anywhere - loving your videos, the craftsmanship, the humour and especially the cats... look forward to many more future videos.
Most DIY videos I learn something. In yours I learn something, and have a laugh. Thank you :)
Uri, once again you have made a wonderful project and inspired me to get back to creating my own projects. I'd like to give engraving a try and make some projects out of brass.
I agree with all the other commenters about your unique sense of humor and allowing us to see your mistakes and how you work around them. I thought I was the only one that made mistakes in my projects and sometimes had to start over. I also appreciate that you don't try to make the project perfect but it's perfect after you finish it. I'll have to come up with my own logo. I like dogs so maybe a dog. Keep making more projects Uri and thanks!
You just inspired me and made my day at 6 a.m. in the morning
DUDE!!! I TOTALLY LOVE THE MUSICAL INTERLUDE and I whole heartedly APPLAUD YOUR COOLNESS!!! Upside-Down Pigeons, All the Way!!! Subscribed!
You are Unreal! Amazing Work!
Love the humor Uri
GOOD one matey It come out really well
So very nice to know how the logo came about.
That was so good. Made me laugh and empathise completely
You are a genius!! And the video is really funny. Very nice work!!
Very nice Uri. Thank you
very talented gentleman
Please do a video on how to draw scrolls and how to fill a space with scrolls!
Great video man! Thank you for making it and sharing it. The next thing is to inlay a tiny stone for the pigeon eye :)
Great job man... that was a lot of hard work...
Keep it up man, I love your style!
That was hilarious....good recovery.
Superb! I have 2 left hands with 5 thumbs on each side I am admiring, jealous and full of desire to do the same thing.Thank you.
Try getting hold of a porter pack which can be used for brazing and silver soldering, much better for stronger welds. Great job on the buckle, as a brass and copper smith its nice to see others working with brass.
Wunderschöne Arbeit 👍👍
great job！And wonderful song！~~
Your work is Super you need to teach these to others
Great job 👍
Very funny and inspiring!!! Keep going please!!!
I've never heard of a "correct" direction for a belt? I don't think it matters.
ElectricGears you are probably right, I guess it's just a consensus, nonetheless it's a lesson for me to pay more attention in the future.
Normally, men wear there belt put on counter clock wise, and women wear there's put on clock wise.
It's the same thing as buttons on a men's and women's button up shirt. They are on opposite sides, right side for men, left side for women.
The buckle is supposed to orient the same way as the fly
This channel is going to blow up!
Thus, the legend begun
"I have this... oddly shaped piece of brass..."
Huh. That weirdly buckle shaped piece, with some odd holes where a loop to hold a belt tail might nearly fit does seem like an ideal piece of scrap to fashion part of a belt buckle out of.
Nicely done my good friend =D
I tried a similar project recently and went through 2 belts. It's a long story but one of the times had to do with the same issue of the reversed buckle.
i love mistakes!!helps me learn...iim an amateur leather maker i make belts ,tobacco pough,knifes seaths...anyway...mistakes are the best school!!
I know nothing about leather or belt work but your sense of humour made me laugh, like and subscribe! Keep up the good work! Or shall I say, "keep riveting the pigeon"!
I love your videos.
Obra de arte parabéns!
Que trabalho perfeito parabens
Great vid!
Simpaticissimo!!! Un abbraccio dall'Italia 👍
Good job and nice content ❤
You know what? Just loop the belt thru the other side and noone will notice. Fantastic work Uri!!
Oh Uri. You made my day. I'm sorry, but I laughed out loud at your "upside down pigeon".
Dear sir, the word you were looking for when you were trying to say that you wanted the pigeon to be three-dimensional or to have some raised designs on there, it's called "” relief" the word you're looking for is " relief"..relief is where it sticks up raised from its foundation. I would also like to add that I love you dude. You are so nervous and so sweet and it's just very beautiful in my eyes.don't be so nervous . you can mess up a thousand times and it's okay. do not call yourself stupid sir please don't do that .that is not stupidity it is simply a mistake so do not do that to yourself no matter who's watching this I don't care what these people might say to you don't call yourself stupid. I admire your talent and you taught me a thing that I didn't know how to do. I am an old lady, and well that's all I have to say. thank you from Kentucky Maria
Another wonderful project Uri. The piece came out looking beautiful (as always) 👍
As for the upside down logo, would it be an option to cut the loop and pin off on the back and remake those 2 parts, drill new holes in the correct locations and braze the new loop and pin in place.
I love the turntable gag at the end 😂
ᗰіɢʜѕᴛ ᗩʟʟ ᑕʀᴜᴄᴋіɴɢ ᖴіɢʜᴛʏ thank you! You're right, I can even remelt the the solder, Clean off the parts and exchange them, but I'm now with peace with the buckle and it's a good reminder for me to take my time when things are crucial.
I have found that .22 rimfire casings work really well as impromptu belt hole punches. You really only get through one hole before the edge is badly marred, but it's handy to know if you're ever squirrel hunting in the woods and find your trousers sagging.
Clever, wouldn't have thought of that!
I haven't had a laugh like that for a while thank you. As for you work its out standing and the Pigeon is only "upside down" to anybody who looks at it when you look down it will the right way round.
looks great
This guy needs way more subs and views.
I've always seen those sort of screws called "Chicago Screws". They get used quite a bit in leather work and horse equipment.
Nice buckle! Thanks for saving me from making the same mistake! lol
nice work!
I laughed out several times. Great video.
It happens, my friend, its what makes us human. Great video!
Molto bravo e simpatico!!!
I love this origin story to the upside down pigeon
