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.
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.

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.
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....

I've always wanted to learn metalsmithing, how to make armor, weapons, and all that good stuff. How did you learn?

I would love to see some armour pieces as well as more swords!
