Armamentarium Eugenius

I have a bunch of hammers, an anvil, a tree stump and a blowtorch.
With these tools I create period and fantasy armour. I work in a period style in an outdoor (tented) shop and I take my own sweet time. My work is neither fast or cheap, so if you need armour by next weekend your in the wrong place. Armouring is a long, hot and labor intensive process and I'm getting old.

I work in Stainless, Aluminum and Mild Steel for most pieces. I offer several finishing options and many different types of riveting patterns as well as custom engraving and etching. The demi-gauntlets above are flame blued on the left and "600" finished on the right. Demi-Gauntlets sell for $45.00 a pair in 600 finish mild steel and I try to keep several pairs in stock. The Spangenhelm to the left is Nickel plated with alternating panels that are flame blued. It sold for $350.00

Helmets & Gauntlets
I specialize in early period armour. I do Roman and Byzantine helms the most often. While I can and do many other pieces, my helmets are in high demand and I keep pretty busy just making them. To the left are two different styles of finger gauntlets. My finger gauntlets feature a 3/4 wrap that covers 80% of every finger. Below left is a Byzantine helm and right is a close up of a brass wolfs head on a Varangian guardsman's helm.

Hidden armour
Most early time periods did not wear arm or leg armor. I build armour that fits tight and is covered with fabric for these periods. Simply wear a matching fabric tunic and the armour virtually disappears! The full elbow and vambrace set pictured below is made from aluminum elbow cop and lames with leather vambraces and hand punched brass cuffs.

The full arms below are the same style but with hand tooled and painted leather vambraces and steel elbow cop and lames. These are "splinted" as in they have steel strips running inside the vambrace for strength. This set sold for $175.00

I only build armour to order. If your interested in commissioning a piece please contact me by clicking here.

Electronics and Robotics
Adding the element of movement and remote control is one of my favorite things. I believe all art should move in as many ways possible. Whether for a combat robot or a referee bot with all the bells and whistles including a CO2 fire extinguisher and a flame thrower I really love to build robots.

Foam and Fiberglass
Using screen, foam and fiberglass I can create almost anything. This style is very strong and holds color well but has it's own drawbacks. Depending on the finish required this method can be more expensive and take longer to complete.
