Agincourt Arms

Individually designed and hand-made fantasy, medieval, SCA, and larp-ready leatherwork, archery supplies, and boffer weapons. It never stopped. It’s proven true.

The Agincourt Arms Workshop: A Hobby that Grew

I started as a maker early on. As the son of a carpenter I had a father that was never enthusiastic about buying toys, but he matched me dollar for dollar on any tools I could scrape up the money to get my hands on. Soon enough I was making toys of my own. Rubber band guns led to trebuchets. Cardboard swords led to knife-making. Industrial Arts led t

o a universe of tools and techniques for making what I imagined into something real. I spent nearly all my youthful time working in the various shops and in the technical end of theatre productions. It just kept growing. As a high-functioning Aspergian my need for order and time to focus on my designs drove me to constantly reach for the next more complicated set of design parameters and push the limits of what I could make. It’s not fun if it’s not hard. When I discovered Renaissance Faires I found a community of people that loved the same styles and materials I did. When I found LARPing (Live Action Role Playing) I had an outlet. A place to test my creations. I could bend and stretch, soak and scrape, and generally abuse things I was making. Then I went back and made them anew. Experience is the best teacher.

“You can have something Good, Fast, or Cheap. Pick two.” A mentor of mine in LARPing community was the first to teach me that. Words of wisdom. I majored in Technology Education in college. I minored in Technical Theatre (costumer and prop builder) and Medieval and Renaissance Studies (material culture was my passion). I never stopped making things and was able to substitute replica tool-making and armor work in place of academic papers. So here we are. As a stay-at-home father I work in my own humble shop bringing my visions, and those of others, to life. If you like my work, show your support. I look forward to hearing from you!

The kids legitimately love the baby jail. :)

We rearranged and reorganized the shop, and hung up a swing for the tiniest of our staff.

Then Justin said, "Kyle, she needs a cup holder."

10 minutes later, she had a cup holder.

Molded from a real coyote skull and cast in weapon-grade foam, these skulls are throwable, catchable, or displayable. Throw them at LARP enemies, decorate your SCA tent, or use them as kid-friendly Halloween decorations. Or, you know, whatever else you might need a foam coyote skull for.

I'm updating our shop page, so let me introduce the rest of the staff. In addition to me and Justin, we have a few more team members. During the day, Kyle works in medical prosthetics, and exercises his creativity at Agincourt rather than on unsuspecting clients of the lab. He assists Justin on big orders, but is a crafter and designer in his own right. Gwyneth joined Agincourt in February 2014, and promptly disrupted our entire workflow. May she ever do so... Malcolm. Woof.
