After recent health issues, I’m slowly getting back to work.
The first orders completed in my temporary workshop are already on their way to their owners. I’ll be finishing and shipping the remaining swords step by step over the coming days and weeks — thank you all for your patience and support during this time.
The past months were a serious wake-up call for me. Taking care of my health and visiting specialists showed that there were more issues than I had allowed myself to acknowledge. Working in 95–97 dB noise, constant temperature changes, vibrations and shocks — all of this takes a real toll on the body, especially on the cardiovascular, skeletal, and nervous systems.
It was probably the last moment to slow down and reorganize how I work.
Since December, I’ve managed to set up a small grinding room and a separate space for “clean” work, like leather grip wrapping and engraving. The forge itself is still unfinished, and I now know it will be significantly smaller than originally planned. Organizing a workshop on a much smaller space has turned out to be far more difficult and time-consuming than I expected.
In the coming weeks, I’ll be focusing on two things: finishing pending orders and building a new ~44 m² workshop that will allow me to work in a safer and more sustainable way.
If anyone would like to support me during this time — I have entry-level feders and Meyer-style rapiers available, which I can finish on weekends and ship on a rolling basis.
Thank you again for all your support — back to work ⚒️
