What We Make
If it’s made of metal we can probably do it is the
easiest way of explaining it. However, we don’t claim to
be experts in everything, but we certainly do our best
to turn out good work.
Dai’s specialist area of knowledge is Iron Age
spearheads. He has done lots of research and is able to
recreate many different types and can explain the
reasons for the differences.
Along with spearheads from the Iron Age we produce any
period spearhead that you might want, along with
javelins and arrowheads.
Basically, bring along a picture and we will see what we
can do for you. One thing we did discover recently was a
15th century picture of a castle siege showing the
defenders on the walls with spears that have flights
like arrows, we intend to make one or two of these this
year and see how they fly, should be fun, must remember
to find a clear area first though….
A good knife is a must for any reenactor, you can use it
for pretty much everything and we can make you any style
you like in any size.
Swords, glaives, axes, you think of a weapon and we have
either made one or have it on the list of things to
make.
Dai started making armour last year, his own kit is his
first go and very effective it is too (I know I gave him
a beating with a big hammer, just quality control,
honest). Some people have turned their noses up at it as
it isn’t polished and shiny but it is good solid kit and
we like it.
We also make things such as tripods, ladles, fire dogs,
pokers, fire tongs, pot hooks, flag pole stands and all
those other bits and pieces you never think about until
you need them. If you think you might like something
making please come and talk to us and we will see what
we can do.
PLEASE NOTE while we are happy to make things for anyone
who asks we will not sell weapons to members of the
general public. We are quite happy to make anything else
for the general public but sorry, no weaponry.
