Artist's Comments

My artwork over the years has comprised of many differing genres, which is probably why none of them are extraordinary, (the old saying "jack of all trades, master of none" is probably true in my case), but I am happy with my achievements so far, and this is my latest "craze" - weaponsmithing.

This piece is a sword I made in February / March of 2004, and is currently for sale.

Just a side note for those who have missed it ... the funny looking back of the blade is a dragon lying along the top.

Thats beautiful! =D
I've always wanted to learn metalsmithing, how to make armor, weapons, and all that good stuff. How did you learn?
:iconbloodstorme:
Thanks heaps for the comment. I'm glad you like it.

I learnt due to necessity really, you see, I was teaching medieval combat, and I needed real weapons, so I basically taught myself, but it's taken me nearly 10 years to be able to do that. I do have "bigger and better" designs, that will REALLY rock, but with "WYRUM" I feel I have begun to get things right.

If you want to see some more, check out my weblink. It goes to my knife making site.

thanks for the reply. I'll check out your weblink!
I've been looking in my area for classes, schools, anybody who can teach me this craft but theres nothing around here. I guess I'll have to buy some books and figure it out on my own.

I am currently putting together a manual on knife making, where I will take you through the entire process, from design to finished piece. If you are interested, I will let you know when it's done.

If you are really, really keen to start something soon, I can converse with you via e-mail and take you through it as you go.

I'm not ready yet, got some other things that need to be finished first. Thanks for offering though! =D
:iconbloodstorme:
Let me know when you want to start and I'll tell you what you need to do. There's a little bit of set up first - ie finding materials, etc, but that's easy enough....

what do you mean by teaching medieval combat? Are you sca or something else? Nice piece do you mean it ti be functional of solely decorative?
