ironplanet uk900 451 Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Been making dome replacement straps for a Ted Baker bag. The bag itself is leather but the straps were plastic. They got stuffed in a pram wheel. Making the replacements from English Bridle. Customer very fussy. £35. hakeemz and soleman2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing wrong with being fussy sometimes, but as you say it brings the best out in you, knowing that they'll appreciate a good job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flash 305 Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Can't imagine what you feel like when you are sat in a pub/restaurant and someone walks in sporting one of your designs, it must make you feel good. They are just a bit special. ironplanet uk900 and Dennis 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ironplanet uk900 451 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 This was the finished item I made for a customer. I'm moving house soon so sadly leaving my workshop behind, but planning on building a new one in the spring. I have retired from the shop now too, so planning some wifey and me time. Thanks for looking. Auto Key Wizard, cowers lane 583 and Dennis 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dennis 6 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 That is very beautiful work. A real craftsman. I do envy your ability and patience. I have had a dabble, but always get diverted to bread-and-butter work. Can't help thinking that round blank strap area needs your logo embossing in it. Where's the best place to get good quality tools from.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They stand the test of time & you get better results most of the time. I do put my logo on, but I haven't done these yet. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
