I've taken up metalworking and need some practice. Willing to produce, repair, or maintain non-ballistic weapons (knives, swords, staves, hammers, etc.) for small fee, mostly to cover the cost of materials. If interested, reply to this thread and I'll send you a PM containing the location of the metalworks and a price quote.
Also willing to handle basic welding.
Edit: Also willing to buy aluminum.

As of late I have found myself without a weapon. While I'm best with guns, my current situation leaves me in a position where acquiring such a weapon would be both dangerous and disadvantageous. Not only that, but I am currently unwilling to use such a weapon.
If I could acquire some kind of lengthy bladed or clublike weapon, perhaps a spear or a staff, that would be incredibly helpful for my ruins-based ventures. I am perfectly willing to pay for such a device, so long as you are not offering some exorbitant fee.

A spear shouldn't be too hard to do, though acquiring a haft might be somewhat difficult, provided we're not just repurposing a broomstick. I think I could produce a spear- or glaive-head rather easily.

I think I can get this done with the haft and everything for about 3800 yen, guaranteed no higher than 4000. If it breaks, I fix it for free and give you a half-refund. If it breaks again, I'll give you a full refund. Sound like a deal? I work out of the Ichiban metal works, located at...

anyway could i like bring you a guitar and you can make it hard to break or something. i dont really care how it looks but it would be cool if it could still play. im okay with any price so long as it aint like fucking ridiculous like 15000 yen or something. get back to me whenever.

I...guess I could do that? I mean, I don't know much about fixing guitars, so you'd have to give me some time to figure it out and everything. I won't be able to quote you a price until I look at it, and it might mess up the balance a bit. Let me get back to you after I look into this a bit more.

Okay, looked into it and given it some thought, sketched out a few things. I think I might be able to weld some metal onto it with some padding inside it to keep the plates from resonating and changing your music. I can probably do it for about 3,000 yen, or about 2,500 if you don't mind it sounding like ass. If you want it to look good, that would probably be another 500 yen on top of that. How's that sound?

I've recently acquired an antique sword for use as a weapon. Much of my previous training with swordplay had been with either heavier but shorter swords meant for largely slashing and light and long swords intended for fencing and thrusting. I've found that this sword has proven to be a nice compromise between the two, but I think it might have better results if it had a bit of an edge on the back end as well. Not an edge along the entire length, of course, just a small one along the end. I would appreciate someone being able to not only make that edge, but maintain the weapon's overall sharpness as well. I'd rather not have it fall into disrepair. Something tells me an oversized butter knife would not be very effective against a well fortified Shadow.
I've also noticed that when I'm fighting Shadows, I feel the need to hold onto something with my other hand. I've been doing it with my sheath, but it's largely inconvenient to me. I'm sure if I were an Iaijitsu practitioner it'd be more practical, but for me it just gets in the way. Would you be able to fashion a shield for me? I'm immune to physical harm, but I can still think of several uses for such a thing. I'd like something a bit weighty, something that will make a Shadow notice if I feel the need to bash it against one. Nonetheless, I would perfer something smaller that won't be getting in my way. Price is no object for either project.
P.S. How much aluminum, exactly, do you require? I may be able to pull some strings. No money will be required, simply consider it... a small form of sponsorship.

An edge is fairly easy, I think I can handle that, and I'd be happy to offer upkeep.
As far as the aluminum goes, the amount of that is really the limiting factor on the project I'm working on -- so as much as you're willing to part with? I'd be happy to work out a system of trading aluminum-for-upkeep.
A shield may be more difficult, as I've not exactly done that sort of thing before, but we can work something out. Could you bring a sketch, or something of that sort, to show the kind of shield you're looking for?

I was thinking about paying about 800 yen per kilo of aluminum -- how about we do 1,000 Yen for the new edge and a free sharpening for every half-kilo of aluminum? We'll have to talk about the shield when I see what you're looking for, but it shouldn't be too bad. Let me know when you want to get it done and meet me at the Ichiban metalworks, located at...

I would like to request a strong one-handed sword. I am unsure what material would be best for this, but I'm sure you know more than I. It doesn't need any frills or excess. I want a simple, durable, and reliable blade for use in the ruins. Thank you.
EDIT: I'm not sure if it's possible, but if you can estimate a cost for a retractable blade so that I may conceal it on my way to the ruins. Thank you again.

A sword? I can probably do that, but retractable might be difficult -- moving parts are a little beyond me, at this point. What I can do is try to make you a straight blade, maybe about the length of a man's forearm with the fingers extended (can go longer, but it might be harder to conceal, if so.)
If you want to come back after a while, I can see about making it retractable.

It might be a bit expensive to create a proper blade for you -- I can do it, but it'll be a bit on the expensive side. I'm guessing 7,000 yen: definitely not more than that, and I'll return anything below that to you, but I'm not feeling anything lower than 6,500 if you want it to remain in one piece down in the ruins.
If you're interested, please meet me at the Ichiban metalworks this coming Sunday (I'll be there all day.) you can find it at...

Uh... hi.
You said you make armor too, right? Can you make a helmet? Whenever I attempt to fight, I generally fall over a lot, and land on my head, so I think it would probably make sense for me to buy a helmet. It doesn't really have to look fancy, but as long as it protects from concussions and stuff.
Price doesn't really matter, but please don't make it super expensive. My parents would get really mad, and I'm already on the ropes with them.
EDIT: I've been forced by my shishou tofraiwsueofifwjeowowow I have decided completely on my own to ask you to add a samurai crest onto it so it can look cool. I don't mind if it adds to the cost.
