Help Wanted for Craft and Business

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 5, 2013, 6:20 AM
Help Wanted



Help Wanted for Craft and Business        

(Please share if you know someone who might fit this role)
               
Looking for full time help to assist in creations of unique leather and armor works as well as a hand in business matters.  Ideally I am looking for someone experienced with leatherwork and I can afford full time wages for adequate work.  However, I am also willing to entertain an old fashioned apprenticeship for those not yet of a high skill but are eager to learn with growing wages in relation to increased productivity. In either scenario, extra wages may also be earned from piece work and assuming additional duties.  I am able to offer room and board as part of the arrangement.  

The job description will have many aspects - everything from creating leather armor suits, to making buckles, to assisting with promotion, sales, and attending large events like ComiCon, DragonCon, The Texas Renaissance Festival and more in the future.  However, let it be known I do not expect proficiency or activity in all areas - I will seek to play upon individual strengths and areas of interest.  The fundamental spirit of the job is of fine craftsmanship and advancement of business ambitions in the way of Prince Armory which takes in custom works of all sorts, but usually in the way of armor and costumes, and Imperial Armories to vend at conventions and festivals which is focused more on higher volume high quality stock items in the fantasy genre, again often in the costume and armor type of product for now. www.PrinceArmory.com and www.ImperialArmories.com

Ideally, you should be creative, passionate about quality and art, and have an interest in pursuing a career in the arts, crafts, business in general, or conventions or festival scenes.

Please contact me directly at Samuel@PrinceArmory.com if you are interested.  Tell me about yourself, your qualifications, where you are at skill-wise and what you can bring to the table, and why you would like to work with me.    And please feel free to ask any questions.

I'm currently in Dublin TX for the time being and as such need someone able to commute or relocate.  Again, room and board is on the table for discussion for those needing to relocate.


Concerning Commissions

If you are interested in commissioning me to create something please email me at Samuel@PrinceArmory.com. I sometimes lose track of DA and other social mediums.

Just about everything I make has at least some element of art to it. If you want basic items you can find good deals on mass produced stuff. I prefer to make more elaborate custom works of wearable or otherwise functional art.

A small sample of the things I can create for you:
Leather Goods
- Full head to toe harnesses of armor, or individual parts of armor (This is my mainstream of work)
- Belts, Baldrics, Guitar Straps & other strapping components
- Leather clothing including jackets coats and renaissance attire
- Horse Armor + Saddle and Tack goods
- Accessories such as head pieces, pouches, wallets, and nick knack items
- Bags, luggage, and custom hard leather cases for guitars for example

Metal Goods
- Custom weaponry from swords, knives, and daggers to maces and halberds, from giant to tiny, no project is to elaborate to undertake. Battle ready of course with proper heat treat and temper.
- Full head to toe harnesses of metal armor, historic or fantasy. I will only accept high end metal armor commissions mainly because of the flooded market of basic SCA gear.
- Various ornamental and jewelry style pieces including repousse metal designs (3D designs in metal)
- Cast designs in various metals

Cloth Goods
-various clothing, tunics, capes, accessories. I'll only accept more elaborate clothing commissions or basic clothing in conjunction with an armor commission. I'm also happy to arrange/outsource embroidery projects to supplement armor or other costume commissions.

Wood - Woodworking was my first craft
- Boxes & chests
- Wood and glass display cases for swords or even full suits of armor
- Can do carved designs in any wood project
- I would also consider taking on large scale projects such as ornate furniture sets.
- Also plan to make heavily carved custom guitars, at least for myself, possibly commission too.

Paint & Auto
- Custom Leather interior/upholstery
- Custom Automotive Paint Jobs - coming soon!
- Automotive Restoration - coming soon!
(I'm working toward amassing necessary tools and a professional presentation on my own vehicles, likely starting to accept automotive related commissions early to mid 2011)

There are many more things I can do upon request and I'm also happy to venture into realms I have not yet visited. If it's interesting, cool, unique, or artistic, I'll probably undertake the endeavor.
