The Dwarven
Smithy
NOTICE!
Due
to a serious backlog on helmets, I am not currently taking orders for plastic
wasters. I do have longswords in stock for those that want them, but I need
time to whittle down the waiting list on helmets so the creation of new wasters
must take a siesta for a couple of months or so. Thank you for your patronage
of the Dwarven Smithy.

PlasticWasters
Wasters are made from a high
impact plastic. Due to the nature of the material they will flex and tend to
slide together in the bind much like steel does. They also bounce less than
wood does. While these will stand up to more wear and tear than a wood waster,
they can be broken through heavy abuse. It is also a good idea to avoid over
exposure to extreme heat or cold (same as wood). Strong sunlight is the enemy
of plastic, protect your waster from extreme exposure such as spending a hot
day in your car with direct exposure to the sun.

About
Hi, my name is Brian Hunt owner
of The Dwarven Smithy. I have been producing my own goods and equipment since I
was very young. I started making armour at the age of 17 and have been
interested in swords and armour for most of my life. At this time I am
producing goods aimed at the study of Western Martial Arts. Though I am willing
to discuss special projects with interested clients.

The Name the Dwarven Smithy has
a personal story behind it. When I was 17 I had a strong interest in armour and
wanted my own suit. I couldn’t afford to purchase one so I thought about making
one. A friend game me the remains of a Volkswagen body so I decided to try and
make a suit of armour out of it. I put an anvil in my bedroom, bought myself
some heavy duty tin snips, gathered together a few hammers and proceeded to
make a crude suit of armour. Since I was so absorbed in my project I was
working on it late into the night. When my parents got sick of the night time
noise, my mother hung a sign on my door that said “The Dwarven Smithy, working
hours from 9 am to 9 pm, closed at all other hours.” After that, the name kind
of stuck.
