Baldric buckles made by Gibbet

[PoD]

thats fantastic. what size belt does that take.

Hang in there on the money front mate. These buckles could earn you a fortune.

This one is for 2" width baldric.

I will also reduce this same design by half for small belts like those on hats. Maybe even shoe buckles.

well i for one will definately be interested in taking a number of the large buckles off your hands

[William Brand]

Wow. That's spot on.

Oh hell... Okay, so I have a serious buckle fetish... don't tell anyone. But these are gorgeous. I'd be VERY interested in getting some custom, if possible, but it also depends on the price (and of course, on your ability to produce them still). The period buckle recreation you're doing is downright gorgeous. I'm super excited to see some real extant examples of more ornate buckles, instead of just the plain "butterfly" or double D buckles most serious reenactors use.

Damn fine work Sir!!! You're making it difficult for a Gentleman to resist doing business with you. :(

[Badger]

(wistfully) Yurrh, matey, ye can certainly sign me up fer a couple o' yer original design! Could send cashybucks up front (I'll take a risk fer a fellow Pubby; anyone else?) if'n it would solidify yer efforts...

right sorry t' hear o' yer troubles...parlous times we lives in..

I'm happy to announce that I now have full access to

some top of the line casting equiptment. I will now finally be able to cast my buckles and ring disigns that I have had sitting for so long. The equiptment will be open for use this Friday. I'll cast some up over the next couple weeks. I'm so excited it's been such a long wait and the past year has been rough. I will post pics of the buckles as soon as I finish them. Thanks for your patience and support.

Interestingly enough, I found this forum doing a search for bladric buckles and patterns. It won't be until the first of the year, but man, I want two of those! They look sweet!! Do you have any designs for 1.5 inch belts? That's the width for my son's archery baldric.

[Gibbet Jones]

I have not gotten to smaller sizes yet. I do have 3 designs one which is ready to be cast . The other two I have yet to make into wax designs they are clay right now. I have two wax ring designs as well. I have started a new job about two months ago so I havn't had a chance to do up some of the designs I have drafted up on paper. In other news I will Be making room for casting equiptment at the workshop where I am employed.

[Capn Bloody Sam Rackham]

Damn fine work, sir! Ye could possibly rake in a good sum off o' them buckles. Any chance yer located in th' UK?

[Gibbet Jones]

Sorry I'm a yank .

[Capn Bloody Sam Rackham]

No worries, mate. I am as well. I had a buckle done by a fine gentleman across th' pond.

Was curious if'n ye be th' same bloke, savvy?

[Gibbet Jones]

here's what I have to work with.

Cool setup. I'd like a kiln too but theres no room in my workshop as yet.

[Captain McCool]

WOOHOO! More buckles! Bring on the buckles!

[Gibbet Jones]

Well not exactly a buckle. it is however my first successful cast, a hefty 2.15 oz stirling silver ring. Still trying to overcome and issue of flow with the bronze for the buckles but practce makes perfect and i'm learning on the fly.

[captscurvy_nc]

I'd be willing to put up the cash ahead of time for one as well if it helps. Couldn't be till next month though

[PoD]

So far so good I think.

Did you ever finish this one?

[captscurvy_nc]

Really like the ring! How much would it go for?

[Gibbet Jones]

I finished it but I just havnt had a wax version turn out yet it's alot of detail for the wax mold.

. Little Flaws here and there on this one but the next one will be corrected. Gives a good idea of what the final will look like. This one will be used to test petinas.
