Buckles & LSS Roundup

In my attempts to replicate the Tim Allen look from The Santa Clause films, I've had some buckles made for myself and would like to make them available via my S.C. Deacon Designs brand to the public.
I need ONLY 12 MORE pre-orders to get these out to the world!
These are inspired by the buckles created for Tim Allen's "The Santa Clause" movies. They are made of brass, will come with a golden finish, and can fit a "30mm" or "1.2"-inch bootstrap (the same size as most of the other boot buckles on the market).
If the minimum order number is met for these boot buckles, there are plans for buckles to be cast for both 3.10" belts and 4" belts (also based on the film series). With your support, we can make castomg these a reality (see below photo of a plastic prototype of the 3.10" buckle I wore at the LSS Roundup fashion show).
Oh, Hail no!
My visit to Lone Star Santa's Roundup was eventful, to say the least. I spoke with many and discussed a multitude of topics I cannot remember them all. We were awoken early Saturday morning to a very loud rushing sound. In College Station, TX we were hit by enormous hail. Many of those staying at the hotel had their windshields, back windows, and car bodies severely damaged. My car was driveable after I secured the back glass with bubblewrap and packing tape. It was a long drive back to Houston that night, but I made it in good time!
Due to the car damage, I listed my Santa hats I had planned to sell exclusively at LSS Roundup on The Workshop's website and sold a few there to kind individuals who knew of my plight. Thank you for supporting my first batch of hats! I loved having a massive pile of them around so much I almost changed my mind about selling them and kept them all to myself!
I had a whole two days to showcase my green suit I wore around when not dressed as Santa (it's my "Stuart" suit). And though I have gotten many requests to make suits for others, I will not be offering any public services anytime soon. This is only because the cost of ME making a suit far outweighs the QUALITY of suit a customer would recieve. I'm still trying to master hats at the moment, give my poor fingers a rest.
Uses of the Belt Buckles
This week I took a pair of boot buckle prototypes and attached them each to their own belt after taking off the original buckles. My sons each have their own Santa suit I made them and these small boot buckles are perfect for use as a regular belt buckle for them. Additionally, if a Mrs. Claus or an Elf wanted a buckle to match the bigger one of Santa Claus, ordering a pair of boot buckles for that purpose would work quite well.
I have enjoyed writing, videoing, and creating courses over the years for you. If we can make the minimum pre-order amount (just 12 more pairs!). I can have the boot buckles made, the larger buckles put into production, and any extra proceeds will go to saving this website from shutting down. If not, all the resources, shop items, videos, and courses will be shelved for the future when I have saved up enough to launch The Workshop again and there is also a greater need for it (which will keep it open).
At this pace, the website is currently set to close at the beginning May.
Please spread the word on these boot buckles, it could make the world of difference.
Yours, as always,
Stuart
I'm glad you got home safe, Stuart, as well as the others who were able to attend. I know I would have tried if I wasn't in school and working right now, but I'm sure you understand. Also, I think I speak for all of us when I say I don't want to see you close up shop on the Workshop for now, but if it comes to that, I was just wondering if you are going to try to produce the Thumb Drives for those who want them again? Please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you for everything you have done and, hopefully, will continue to do in the future.
And I have the prototype #1 hat.
Wow, your car got beat up bad. The insurance company totaled our van. Driving back to Fort Worth, there was a crack in the windshield that was right in my line of site.
Does the belt come with, or where can one get the belt?
