    CCP Horseshoe Nail Bracelet and Ring



    Received some horseshoe nails in the mail a few days ago and got to work on the bracelet straight away. Needless to say, my fingers are beyond sore! A few pieces of leather, two needlenose pliers and a whole lotta brute force makes:







    Wierd... my wrist looks like it's broken there hahaha.




    Here's Atelier's photo (thanks Cas!!!!!!!) for comparison







    I also made a simple and clean horseshoe nail ring. Very happy with these and happy to be back making some DIY pieces

    thats awesome work [Y]




    thought it was the real thing when i saw the first pic. i was looking for some long nails to make a ring with, but this bracelet is much cooler, might have a go myself.




    btw how did the twist jeans turn out?

          Very nice work... How did you construct the clasp mechanism?

            Thanks guys :)




            There wasn't a need for a clasp mechanism. If you match up the pointed ends of the circular and the S shaped nails you can separate the chain. The nice thing is, when worn, they'll never meet up in that way so they will never spontaneously separate.




            The twist jeans came out well... I need to redo the waistband since it isn't contoured really... Gonna take a few hours of work to redo as per Zamb's suggestions all those months ago. I just plain haven't had a chance to get down to it hehe

                Wow Albert! Not only did that turn out fantastic but you cranked that out in what, 2 days! It looks just like the CCP piece but maybe even more uniform than the original.

                Great job brother.

                    Awesome! Your DIY projects always come out looking great. You've inspired me to give that project a shot.

                      Give it a go! It's doable... just be ready for some serious finger/hand pain. These nails are much harder to bend than you'd at first imagine!




                      Faust, yeah items like this which I know I can make myself I would MUCH rather create rather than spend (not to mention I'm sure the CCP version would have cost around $500-700 if not more). it's more rewarding no?

                            awesome, how did you bend it? and where did you got the horseshoe nails?



                            have you thought about torturing this thing with some acid or something? could look interesting, or do you like it clean? anyway, fantastic work
