William Brand Posted September 15, 2010 Posted September 15, 2010 . Little Flaws here and there on this one but the next one will be corrected. Where you see flaws, I see weathering and the antiquing of life at sea. That's one beautiful piece of work.
Captain McCool Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 Ooooohohohoh.... droooool! Did I mention I have a buckle fetish erm... fixation? I'd be very interested to know what these puppies are going for!

Gibbet Jones Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 Ooooohohohoh.... droooool! Did I mention I have a buckle fetish erm... fixation? I'd be very interested to know what these puppies are going for! I'm only able to produce one at a time. So I am currently unable to price them I'm going to look into having some sent to a company that can produce say 20 at a time. Then I can sell them at a decent price. Right now I've spent countless hours and I have two of a single design done. No Cage for the bones of Gibbet Jones.

Right now I've spent countless hours and I have two of a single design done. Thats the best way to go. Just produce the masters then get them cast in bulk as I am sure you will get plenty of orders. ...and then I discovered the wine...
Gibbet Jones Posted September 24, 2010 Author Posted September 24, 2010 The web of channels in the center will be removed, it was only there to insure the casting of the center. No Cage for the bones of Gibbet Jones.

Gibbet Jones Posted November 3, 2010 Author Posted November 3, 2010 I used the buckle design Jib got from me for Halloween. Took some pictures so everyone can see what it looks like on a baldric. I had my baldric made so I can switch out buckle designs. No Cage for the bones of Gibbet Jones.
William Brand Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 This one should peek the interest of the historical reinactors. Aye. It does at that. I would love to see this in a dark bronze. And the buckle suits the coat very well.
Beowoulf Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Just stumbled on to this thread. OMG are these buckles ever nice!!! Where is the BUY NOW button?? (and the leather on that baldric a couple posts up is incredible as well!!!)
Jib Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Now lads we've got Gibbet locked away in the North Country hard at work on the buckles. I'm sure he'll get some made if he does fall out the top sails. Next is to get him working on tips and keepers...
Gibbet Jones Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 Aye. And it's cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey! Tips and keepers will be done you can count it. No Cage for the bones of Gibbet Jones.
