Blackbeard's Landing

This is good to know because I’ve always get confused too 🥭🍒🍌🥭 🥭🍒🍌🥭

I have so much going on in my life right now. I needed a blessing (woke up this morning) and can’t afford not to pay it forward, so here you go.

If you have taken a minute to read this, God has seen YOU too struggling with something. God says it's over. A blessing is coming your way. If you believe in God send this message on, please don't ignore it, you are being tested. God is going to fix two things (BIG) tonight in your favor.

If you believe in God drop everything and re-post. It can't hurt, I Still Believe in Miracles. Amen

A customer asked me how much it cost to do this job....
I answered him: $ 1500
He said: So expensive for this job?
I asked: How much do you think it would cost you?
He answers me: $ 800 maximum... That's a pretty simple job right? !"
- For $ 800 I invite you to do it yourself.
- But.... I don't know how to.
- For $800 I'll teach you how to. So besides saving you $700, you'll get the knowledge for the next time you want
- It seemed right to him and he agreed.
- But to get started: you need tools: A welder, grinder, chop saw, drill press, welding hood, gloves etc...
- But I don't have all these equipment and I can't buy all of these for one job.
- Well then for another $300 more I'll rent my stuff to you so you can do it.
- Okay, he says.
- Okay! Tuesday I'm waiting for you to start doing this work
- But I can't on Tuesday I only have time today.
- I'm sorry, but I'm only available Tuesday to teach you and lend you my stuff. Other days are busy with other customers.
- Okay! That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Tuesday, give up my tasks.
- I forgot. To do your job yourself, you also have to pay for the nonproductive factors.
- That is? What is this?"
- Bureaucratic, tax, vat, security, insurance, fuel etc.
- Oh no!... But to accomplish these tasks, I'm going to spend more money and waste a lot of time!
- Do you have them? You can do it to me before?"
- Okay!
- I'll make you all the material you need. Truck loading is done Monday evening or Tuesday morning you'll have to come by 6 loading the truck. Don't forget to be on time to avoid traffic jams and be on time
- At 6??? Nope! Too early for me! I used to getting up later...
- You know, I've been thinking. Y ' all better get the job done. I'd rather pay you the $1500. If I had to, it wouldn't be perfect and it would cost me a lot more.
When you pay for a job, especially handcrafted, you pay not only for the material used, but also:
- Knowledge
- Experience
- Study
- Tools
- Services
- Time to go
- punctuality
- Accountability
- Professionalism
- Accuracy
- Guaranteed
- Patents
- Sacrifices
- Safety and security
- Payment of tax obligations
No one can denigrate other people's work by judging prices. My prices to do this would be much higher than it says here for that job but its the point not the amount.
Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain work can you estimate the actual cost.
I am sharing it to support craftsmen and entrepreneurs.

I had a custom embossing plate made for a customers order. Now to work on the wristbands.

I love antique tools and equipment. Until a part breaks on it. Now, I have to call the manufacturer in the morning to find out how much the replacement part is going to be…

Had a excellent weekend at the Las Vegas Pirate Fest, this past weekend. Could not of done it with out the help of Michael Scarpace (my apprentice) & Jenna Mobley. Got the surprise of my life when Bunny Kins & Ron Shaver stopped in the booth. It is great to see old friends that you have not seen in years. And, thank you Bunny & Ron for jumping in and helping in the booth.

Greetings to all of my friends,

Here is Blackbeard’s Landing calendar for the rest of 2019.
Starting May 25, 2019 Blackbeard’s Landing will be at Koroneburg Renaissance Festival https://renfestcorona.com/ May 25, 2019 – June 23, 2019.

I may be at the Long Beach Pirate Invasion, I will make a post once we sign articles.

October 26 – 27, 2019 – November 2 – 3, 2019 the Fall Escondido Renaissance Faire.

Join us at the Festival! The Koroneburg Renaissance Festival is one of the only permanently built Renaissance faires in Southern California, and is the most interactive Renaissance experience around! We offer great audience-participation content, giving you plenty to do and opportunities to learn about ye ol' German 1450-16...

It seems that I have been hacked, I apologize for those posts.

Using antique machinery to make some of the Leather Goods that I make is a double edge sword They don't make stuff like this anymore because it was built to last. But when something does break and you need to get replacement parts from the manufacture. They are either no longer in businesses, or (in my case) they no longer stock that part. But, they do have a retro kit to the tune of $200.00 with shipping (to get it here by this Monday).

Hay everybody. The new website is now live! Please share this link I would like to be slammed with orders 😃 Here is the Link www.BlackbeardsLanding.com It's not just Pirate or Ren Faire stuff I do everyday belts as well as CCW belts.

Welcome to Blackbeard's Creations -

Well I guess I am not smart enough to add PayPal buttons to go with the Kilt belts that are damaged.

Question, I have a few Kilt Belts that are "Seconds" (there is something wrong with them) they would sell for less then wholesale and I will put up pictures of each one. If you would be interested please comment. If I get enough people interested I will put them up here with prices.
