I tend to be too restless to stick to only one craft. There is always something new and interesting to try.
My historical archery equipment. I've made pretty much everything in the picture. At the top is a replica of the Mary rose quivers with some scrappy arrows. Middle is belt bag and belt. Left of the belt bag is an archery glove (that was a challenge) and an experimental release that works surprisingly well. Below that is a leather and oak quiver with my fine arrows. Below that are 3 viking arrows I'm working on and an arm guard.
Closer picture of the viking arrows. Split pine, hand forged points, replica bronze nocks, wound with silver. In the background are my fine medieval arrows. Cedar, bodkin points, goose fletching with silk winding, nocks enforced with ivory. Also I'm wearing the archery glove
Watchmaking is one of my later hobbies. I made the balance holder, cushion, case opener and tweezers. I also made the chain to the pocket watch in the background.
My "bragging rights" knife for viking reenactment. I bought the knife but I made the sheathe. Unfortunately a friend pushed the blade thru the leather when looking at it. Oh well, shit happens.
My market craft knives and charcoal chalk case
sheathe for my smaller knife. It is based on a find worn as a necklace. Bog oak, ivory inlay, silver rivets and nails.
Made for a halloween where I went as Morpheous from sandman. The dreamstone ruby, pouch of sand and key to hell
Just a neat pen I made. I hid a play on words in the design. Rosewood and brass
Powder horn I made for a landsknecht arquebusier outfit. I was surprised that I managed to get it airtight. I am planning on going back to it sometime because I feel like the scrimshaw is a bit too faint.
Some sowing needles of different material, bronze pins, needle housing with scrimshaw and silk lucet cords with handmade aiguillettes for my late medieval outfit.
Completely unnecessary build. Access card lanyard of leather, custom made brass yoyo with ivory connector
Anchient greek glasswork torch. Surprisingly a wood alcohol burner and a small tube to blow thru gets hot enough to melt glass.
medieval marching drum and drumsticks made of something hard.. teak maybe?
With my leather tools I grew out of my sewing box so I upgraded to a sewing chest. It has hidden magnets on the top for pin cushions.
Silver ring with garnet
