Gibbet Jones

My goodness, I think you got it! I went to the Turner Classics site and watched the trailer for the Princess and the Pirate. Sure looks like it's the one I saw as a kid. Now just have to buy it on dvd and add it to my collection. Thank you Morgan Dreadlocke.

I've been trying to find the title for a movie I watched years ago as a kid I've asked many people over the years and no one was yet able to give me the answer. The movie is older it was in color, not sure if it was originally black and white and color was later added. one of the things that I remembered about it was their was a crazy old man that had a map or part of a map tattooed on his chest. That's all I can remember from it. Any Ideas?

No press. All done by hand, takes a bit of time but the end product ends up the same.

I just may get into more block printing of bandanas and sell them. Again it depends on demand. I have some more block designs that I can engrave. My dream is to start a small shop/tent and travel to festivals across the country. Block printing is the sort of thing I could do "on site" as well as lost wax ring designs. I have some of those in the works as well .

Nope, the design is entirely from my head. I am looking for examples of decorative late 17th and early 18th century baldric buckles so that I can get a feel for the style and create some of my own interpretations. But the pictures seem to be very hard to come by.

What would be the cost for two? I need one for my baldric and one for future copies? This design may change yet I'm working on some more detailed versions carved into the wax from the same mold. As well as some entirely different designs.

Made some 10k gold teeth for Halloween from some old rings I had laying around. Of course not all these teeth are used at once, I just made extras to give me more options in my look. Looks too grill when I have them all in.

A little of both, I am interested in a little stage combat at some point down the road.

Anyone else have any luck wood block printing? Here's a 17th century pattern that I had laser engraved on blocks of wood and printed them onto my bandana. Little light in spots but overall I think it turned out.

Anyone here have any experience with Starfire swords? I'm looking at getting one and I'm just checking into them before I make the big purchase.

Thought it looked like a treasure chest. It will be the future costume storage for my wife, daughter and I. I just have to re-line it with cedar and make it structurally sound again. Found it in the attic of my dads garage. He found it thrown away when he was 13 back in the 50s. He said it belonged to an old lady and when she died this is one of the things thrown away. He pulled it home in a wagon and had it ever since.

I've been working on some Baldric Buckles (or can be used as a belt buckle too). They are still wax models and I'm going to have them cast in bronze and antiqued. They measure 5 1/8 X 3 5/8. Only problem is they can only be done in a minimum order of 12. I will have to sell the other 10 in order to pay for the casting. If enough people here are interested in buying the other ten off me , I'll go ahead and have them done as it is nearly $500 to have them cast. I have more buckle designs in the works and this will be the first of my line, if I can move them out the door. I will put my logo (gibbet and bones) on the bottom of these buckles. Does $45 + shipping sound like a fair price.

Ahoy fellow gentlemen of fortune! I'm new ter this here port an' would like ter inroduce me onesies. Me Freebooter name is Gibbet Jones . I've writen a little yarn about me character, Gibbet. Ahoy matey! I be known in many ports by both mateys an' enemies as Gibbet Jones. How did I fetch that name ye ask? I be captured but only fer a short time whilst plundering th' church's gold furnishings an' wine. Th' governor so enraged ordered a gibbet ter be made ter match me fer all me ill deeds, Th' day afore me trial whar I be sure to dance with Jack Ketch. Me crew tied a line ter th' iron bars o' me prison an' yanked me free whar we made haste ter weigh anchor. Arrr! But afore we made our route out I stole th' very gibbet fitted fer me from th' blacksmith's shop an' filled it the th' governor's own riches from his home whilst he slept. Th' next morning when they soon found that I had' gone missing, They rallied ter search every ship. I had me crew hoist th' colors o' an honest ship an' temporarily change me ships name. When th' port authority came aboard looking fer me an' me booty they chanced upon neither, fer I hid all me booty in me me own gibbet scaffold an' slung it overboard in th' place of th' anchor. That is how I became known as Gibbet Jones. Oh an' Where was I ye ask?.......In a row vessel heading out ter briny deep. Dinnae worry about me booty I would later randevu with me ship 'The Laughing Cormorant' an' collect on me ill gotten gains. I've included a photo of my daughter and I.
