One thought on your buttons. In the military and sometimes for fancy buttons they create buttons that can be removed (not sewn on). You could get the base (removable), then use that as the backing and epoxy the opal onto that. The advantage here is when you wash the shirt/suit you can remove the buttons to prevent damage.

Amazing. Post a shot of the graduate in his one of a kind shirt Dad!👍

Now the guy has to wash his shirt by hand, if he uses the washing machine his buttons are going to break.😀Very beautiful buttons!😀

Osmel Raga if both edges of the placket have button holes instead of just one you can connect one fancy button to a plain one (probably a bit larger for safety-it should be too big for the hole) with a thread shank. Think of the setup as something like cuff links but oriented in such a way to lay flat like a regular placket. This way it would only take a minute to remove the fancy buttons for washing and it would be just as fast to reattach them. It’s also possible to sew the buttons to a strip instead of individually to plain buttons which would probably be a more practical idea but that would only work with the one shirt as the button spacing would be fixed.

@@missingallmymarbles7670 hoooo I stumbled upon a good one here! I'll read this carefully on my break after work. Also I really like magnets, there must be a way to incorporate magnets though it will be difficult

Osmel Raga magnets may work for some jewelry and purses but remember, they can mess with electronics. Especially if a person is using a medical device, magnets can be EXTREMELY hazardous to one’s health and life. The practicalities of shirt fastening means that you’re very likely to lose magnets (and thus the expensive buttons) and if you tried to leave the magnets in the shirt, it would be impossible to wash it. Guess who has forgotten magnets in their pockets before...they LOVE the drum in the washing machine. Magnets also tend not to stay closed all that well unless they’re extremely strong...maybe not quite as much of an issue for a guy than for a girl but still, it’s something to take into account. In general, unless absolutely needed for a certain special effect there are much simpler and more user friendly options for fastening clothes. They may come in handy for a stripper’s routine for example-much less noisy to rip off than Velcro. Edit: lots of time making things for theater, tech, and a lifetime of sewing things. I have a fondness for weird ideas.

I felt my stomach drop to my knees when we saw the math at 98K. Dang.

Witty,Funny and Thought provoking as usual mate. Let the opal button orders flow forth from the rich and the famous lol

“In a viscous game of beer pong”, I laughed my butt off! Seriously, where did it go? They turned out really great, not that I doubted you for a moment. I’d totally wear a shirt with buttons if it had opal buttons. Thanks for always making me laugh! I’m still envious of your cab machine though! 😂💗😂💗😂

Pulitzer Opal, I actually don’t own much jewelry and rarely wear it. But I love working on opal!

Absolutely fabulous. Congratulations. I would also love to see him with his buttons. Love your videos.

You are 1 funny man, “ let me get air quotes on air”. Plus love your opal videos as well

Dude so much fun watching what you create both from the stone and in the form of an informative entertaining video of opal goodness. I always love the videos you create. Thank you my friend. So much!

Beautiful! You really know what you’re doing! Impressive!

I used ethiopian opal beads for button clasps on the ends of my bracelets:) this is an amazing idea! I have been working on a dress for the last 8 years (only working on it for about 20mins every other month.lol) im so glad you posted this as i would love to add a few opals to it for when its finally finished. Lol thank you so muvh for sharing!

YOUR RIGHT 100% OF THE TIME. I love watching you and your geniuses mind at work. BTW Your nephew is very handsome. The buttons are great and you made a great choice.

Wow you are amazing! They are beautiful!

Yay!! Another video! Wow... and I thought you were gonna do a non opal video, but this was interesting and very well done. Those are so tiny... reminds me when I used to paint 1" stones to look like animals.

Only a very competent lapidarist would attempt such a feat and do it with such great humor! I hope the young fellow who receives this incredible work appreciates it. I inherited a large button collection (over 500) from my grandmother, most of which are 50 to 150+ years old. Not one is made of opal. You must be the first to make opal buttons, and with four holes no less! Congratulations! They are very beautiful. Thanks for an entertaining video.

Another fantastic video keep them up loving the humor.

I always enjoy watching your videos. Thank you

This was very fun to watch, I hope the button reciever appreciates your buttons for a long time.
