Well they used to be watches

[Pesty]

Saw somthing like these being sold for quite a bit of cash. The rate I lose cufflinks its just not worth buying them.

So I made my own

[Nolar Dog]

Yep, nice. Made (and sold) quite a few of those in the past. Those and similar Steampunk(y) stuff.

[Pesty]

Thanks

These should last me a few months then will have to make some more.

I have never seen anything like them other than on watch forums.

[auditt]

WOW

Never seen soemthing like these before, very nice.

Hard for me to say this but ive never lost cufflinks but have lost my first watch last week and numerous mobile phone

[Pesky]

Those are really cool!

[Pesty]

How do you make them?
I have a load of old knackered watches, would love to have a bash at making some like that!

Not very sofisticated I'm affraid. Nolar may have a better method.

Bought the cufflink blanks from ebay got 10 pairs for about £3. and a set of gold coloured ones

then looked for old womens watch movments removed the faces and various stems to make a flat surface.

was going to attempt solder/brazing but I did a bit of testing with glue and found one that works glued two blanks together and asked the kids to destroy the bond. They couldnt I tried and the brasing on the cufflinks broke first.

I figured that the glue was enough (and a lot easier).

Exactly the same as Pesty. Glue them onto eBay/etsy/folksy cufflink blanks.

[WTD]

Good idea! where did you get the old watches from, and how did you get matching pairs? Assume you had to find 2x same old watch per pair?

[Pesty]

Just searched ebay.

[ShadownINja]

Nice one.

What if you don't have kids? Can you get them on ebay, too?

[Pesty]

no need I will hire out their destructive services.

What if they get carried away and destroy my house? Do you have public liability insurance?

[Pesty]

The old "what's the point of children" question finally answered.
