Thanks! How is the 50 cent piece held on? Does it float?

PapaSimone asked about the hardware breakdown . I chopped up an old chrome plated shelf bracket for the control plate , tailpiece ,sound hole cover . Hit it with a hammer,torch,drill . Put the "heat" to an old Tele knob , the stainless eyebolt and any other metal on it . Now if I could only learn how to play it .

Richard,
I really like the hardware finish as well, could you please tell us how you achieved those results?
I am guessing heating and quenching. In oil maybe?
