Looking for a larp weapon maker

Paddywhack has run out of daggers, but there is still plenty of demand for them.

Rather than do another import of weapons, I’m looking for someone to make latex daggers here. Paddywhack will sell them and take a sales commission, you’ll get the rest of the money.

You could make them to order to reduce up-front cost and risk. You’d need to make a sample dagger for starters, and it may take a few tries to get the quality up to standard.

You’ll need some artistic flair. I’d be happy to give construction advice. If this works out, it could lead on to making other larp weapons for sale.

I’ve just been approached by someone who’s interested in doing this.

Position filled.

If it doesn’t work out I’ll advertise again.

Tangent - I can do basic sewwing, if wanted :smiley:

I imagine Scott Farndon (who posts here as Rasker) might be interested in getting you involved in making stuff down in Chch then.

I’m not looking for garb-makers, there are plenty of experts in Auckland willing to make garb for money already (see the Mordavian Artisan’s Guild for example) and many larpers are able to make their own high-quality costume.

Latex weapons are a different matter. Making them is an uncommon skill, it’s quite messy and labour intensive, and it requires a lot of weird materials. For those reasons more people are happy to buy well-made stuff rather than DIY. I’d like to be able to supply those people with a great product made here in NZ.
