PanGasket
has cork sides
I recently put a new set of headers on my truck to fix the exhaust leak the old set had and removed this set of Mr. Gasket copper header gaskets.
I've always enjoyed recycling things most people scrap or huck in the trash into something truly cool or wonderful. After staring at them for a couple days, I threw 'em on my shelf with the plans of polishing them and maybe making bracelets out of the bottom strips. After polishing one and showing a picture on Facebook, I was contacted pretty promptly for a commissioned bracelet made out of it. So, here we go!:cheers:
Here's how they started out
Here's what they looked like when I was contacted about making one special. Hardly polished at all. That orange line was where I was gonna cut, but it was really inconsistent so I removed it and remarked it later
Polished some more and ready to cut:glasses7:
Here's the bits I cut off for the bracelets. The center one will take the form of a bracelet. I kept the random scraps to make another, but don't have any leather chord to join 'em with or a solid plan for them yet
