The pirate Captain Cervantes

I was very fortunate to receive this beautiful buckle that was made by a good friend of mine that passed away. It deserved a beautiful leather baldric to go with it -so I made this.
3” wide and hand tooled. It incorporates a design that my friend used on a baldric he made too.

A pirate can never have enough belt buckles. Some of these are rare and was made by a dear friend of mine. I be countin’ me lucky stars to have them!

For anyone interested in seeing how these belt buckles are made traditionally using traditional methods check out my video on YouTube!

Pirate buckle tutorial This is video that shows the step by step process to making a pirate belt buckle by hand using traditional methods.

Just finished this new buckle. You all might recognize this one as the buckle wore by Pintel in the POTC movies. All hand made using traditional methods.
I’ll post a step by step video of how this was made on my YouTube page.

Ahoy crew!
Here be a short video of our pirate adventures from this weekend! Enjoy me hearties!

Northern California Renaissance Faire 2025 Pirate Invasion weekend at the Northern California Renaissance Faire

This hat is inspired by the famous scene from the Pirates Ride where the seagull made a nest on the hat of a dead pirate.
Great hat made by the famous hat maker Jeff McKay of Captain Jacks Pirate hats.

Building myself a new sword baldric. The basic style and size is the typical POTC style with some flair and all hand tooled around the edges. It will be black and have all brass conchos and buckle. Should be done this week.

Decided it be time fer another hat. This one was made by Jeff McKay. He’s a well known hat maker for the Pirate community.

This will have to do until I find the proper time accurate bands and re-paint it that distinct POTC barrel color.

Finally found the right size barrel to hold my swords an’ effects.
Next I’ll remove the metal bands, add wooden ones and paint it to look just like the ones in the ride in Disneyland.
