US Divers belt buckle- finished- sorry, no more orders.
Hi folks.
I made the Us Divers belt buckle from the blueprints that Count Dookie posted here at TDH.
There seems to be a little interest in these here, soooo.
They are made of 1.5mm thick aluminum (Thanks to Boba Leo for the comparison pics.), the original seems to be that thickness.
They are not made in a flash. I use hand tools to cut, shape, file and bend these to their final form.
There may be some scratches on them, but they can be rubbed of with some steelwool (i tried it, looks great).
The price is $20 dollars + shipping (US & Worldwide = $8 dollars, Europe = $6 dollars)
UPDATE:
This is now a official run list. I will be doing these on a permanent basis now, so everyone who needs these will be able to contact me when they want.
I changed the thread name, and those who don't want in please PM me.
Those who are in, please paypal me mortenkaarby@hotmail.com
Include your TDH name and make sure you have the right adress in your paypal account.
First come, first served.
They are made by order, so expect about a weeks time in production.
I will ship them out every weekend.
So. If you are interested speak up.
UPDATE #2
BELTMATERIAL!!!
I stumbled over some beltmaterial today:cheering
They are 2" wide and i will be able to provide this to those who want it. They will be $5 dollars pr.meter (just metric for me guys, sorry;)) (or ca.40inch:D)
I think you will have to measure a little more than around your waist so there is enough room to fasten it to the buckle.
If you order this with your buckle the shipping will be $2 bucks more, and if you just want the beltmaterial that will be $8 dollars.
Cheers:cheers

Re: US Divers belt buckle interest thread
if i think of it tonight i'll grab the calipers and measure mine. the metal looks a *little* thin, but not bad. if it could go ever so slightly thicker (.5mm or so?) i think it would be perfect.

Re: US Divers belt buckle interest thread
OK!
This is the NEW 2mm edition. I think it looks way more accurate in terms of the thickness and durability.
Check it out. (By the way, this is waaaaay harder to work with)
-
Re: US Divers belt buckle interest thread
Wow, that looks great! I think you could get away with 1.5mm if you can find it. Probably easier to work with.
-
Re: US Divers belt buckle interest thread
WOW - very nice! :cheers:

Re: US Divers belt buckle interest thread
awesome Korn!! keep us updated and let us know when you are ready to take payment!! great job! been looking for something like this, and to save 40 plus bucks for not having the us divers engraving is waaay cool too!! ;)
-
Re: US Divers belt buckle interest thread
Exactly FD. In fact, I think the logo was covered with duct tape or something on the original. So, for an extra $.0002 in tape you can have it looking truly screen accurate.

That's what i thought. Seeing those prices made me make my own, and whaddayouknow... others like it too.:cheers

Re: US Divers belt buckle run
my thoughts exactly, brother...but didnt know how to make one of these buckles...:thumbsup so is there a lip on the hinged curved upper piece that clamps down on the belt strap when you push that piece down once the belt strap is fed through the buckle? you can kind of see it there in your last pics, sort of...but it does clamp down on the waist strap to keep it from coming undone?

And you can't read that they are U.S. Divers buckles on the real ones anyway since that gets covered with tape.

I believe that this will be fully functional. There is a L shape to the top piece, so this will lock the belt in place. The only thing is that i don't know how thick the belt would be when inserted to the buckle. So this piece could be filed down when people recieve them.:doh
I have 3 pcs. ready at the moment, so i think i will be able to make a couple more before sending out the first batch this weekend.:thumbsup

Re: US Divers belt buckle run
awesome, brother! ya, i will be using a thin seatbelt material webbing for my belt, so it should be perfect...:thumbsup and if anyone else needs to know where to get some of that webbing for theirs, pm me...:)

Add me to the list, the Buckle and 2 meters of belt, I don't have a 2 meters waist, I just want to be sure that I have enough :lol
So 20$ + 6$ + 10$ + 2$ = 38$ or 30€ :thumbsup I will pay you ASAP

Ugh, the writing came off mine when I weathered it. Still I got the prototype!!! :lol:lol:lol
I'll post some pics of the weathered version this weekend.
Thanks again Korn (off the kob) :thumbup
Just wish you had the strapping when I got mine. No worries, there's a dive shop near me. They are also digging through their old stuff to find a couple of "special" items for me.
