Hello All! My name is David Gregory but those that know me call me Angus. I have been a medieval, fantasy, steampunk and scifi blacksmith, jeweler and leather worker for the past 13 years. In jewelry I mostly work in brass, copper and nickel. My favorite non ferrous metal to work in is silver. I just can not seem to find the people who are willing to pay the prices for it. I am a disabled veteran who is currently working on rebuilding a business that almost died with the economy. Most of my tools and equipment are improvised and or 13+ years old. One customer commented that my tools looked medieval. I am trying to get into arts and crafts fairs and shows to figure out what "normal" people are looking for! I am finding that the medieval/fantasy market is inundated with mass produced and import products so heavily that people want artisans to match prices on handmade with mass produced! Thus why I am rebuilding! I hope I can learn some new things here as well as, maybe, throw my 2 cents in once in a while! Thanks for Reading, Black Angus (David A.
