Banding a bulldog

Post by Ocelot55 »

So, I'm working on a few preliminary bulldog designs and thought that adding a band to them would look pretty cool. Problem is, all the bands I have are circular. Has anyone had experience putting nickel or silver bands on bulldogs? Do you bend a circular band into a square shape, or does someone sell square bands? Any guidence would be appreciated.

I'd swage a round ring.

I've not looked, but I bet you could find a tapered square punch that would do the trick.

They sell square bands.

You might give Tim West a call.
