I had the wonderful pleasure of working on a very special commission recently. An old friend contacted me to work on some cufflinks for her wedding.
I haven't made cufflinks in a while and I didn't have all of the tools I needed to do the job but I said yes straight away! The brief was quite specific which was great as time was short!
I have known the bride for a long time so the pressure was on to make the pieces perfect!

| Cufflinks fittings and blanks |

| Letter stamps |

The personalised messages was the hardest part of the brief, both in the actual stamping of them and trying to fit in the messages!

| Lining up all the letter stamps! |

| I like to use my work bench as a sketchbook! |

 |
| Finished! |
 |
| Cufflinks for the groomsmen all lined up and ready to go! |

Despite the Scottish weather the wedding was a big success and I wish the happy couple all the best for their future together as man and wife. Congratulations to Mark and Jenny Kirby!
