May 2021 – Secateurs Holster

G'day Brian,

I have received the secateurs pouches which I ordered  (9622 and 9620)
and would like to leave feedback. Verdict? Bloody brilliant ! For years,
on and off, I have been searching for a secateurs pouch where the
secateurs handles do not jab me in the side when I bend down to tend my
pot plants, to weed or whatever. All pouches which I have seen/purchased
so far allow that to happen mainly because the pouch sits too high due
to the positioning of the belt loop/slits or the clip. When I was
casually scanning the internet (again!) for pouches and stumbled across
yours where the belt clip is right at the very top of the pouch, it
grabbed my attention immediately. 

Having now 'road tested' the pouches, it is obvious that having the belt
clip right at the top allows the pouch to sit lower and it keeps the
secateurs handles clear from me when bending over. It seems that I had
to go halfway around the world to find the ideal pouch!

Finally, the craftsmanship is absolutely superb. Many thanks.

Stephen

October 2020 – Bespoke flintlock rifle sling

Hi Brian,

 

The sling arrived this morning. It looks and feels superb. The design looks as if it should have been supplied with the Rifle when it was made back in the 1860's..

 

The laced cuff fits snugly over the Recoil cuff and covers it nicely.

 

I am sure I will be ordering a couple more bits from you very soon.

 

Please feel free to share the photos, I will be sharing them amongst the ......community. I am sure when they see the quality of your work that you will get some orders.

 

Thank you, It ihas been so nice to have dealt with a Craftsman, there are not many of us left..

As an additional thank you, I will be sending you a couple of bottles of my Beer from my Brewery.

Do you like dark Ales? I do a lovely Porter at 6%!

 

 

All the best.

Joe

Hello Brian,

The pouch arrived this morning and it is perfect, I'm so pleased with it.

You've made a great job of it and I am so so grateful, thank you.

Keep well and keep in touch.

All the best and thanks again.

Brian this looks absolutely brilliant thank you so much and having the date and your name on it just makes it so real.
I am overwhelmed, I was very close to my father who died in 1995 he was certainly one of my heroes and it is so good to have something of his which will continue to be an heirloom and which has been enhanced on my watch.

Again, many many thanks and i look forward to that beer or cuppa sometime.

 

Nick

Well done and thanks for your excellent craftmanship.

March 2020 – Bespoke phone pouch and belt

Brian,
Very pleased with my belt & pouch, thanks.

Feedback.

Excellent, excellent, excellent!

 

Came across Brian’s site by chance & as he was local, I made an enquiry.

 

Fast response, helpful response. I wanted a phone pouch but his ‘possibles’ pouch was too small, an exchange of emails & a bespoke pouch was agreed.

In a week I had a belt & phone pouch at a very reasonable price.

 

Excellent product, excellent service, excellent value. I will be a repeat customer.

 

You can quote me!

 

Again thanks.

 

Ian.

January 2020 – Repair to forty year old belt

Hi Brian,

The 'new' (how did how achieve that colour match?) belt has arrived and is better than perfect thank you. I'm delighted with it and to think it has another forty years of life - brilliant.

You must have read my mind, I was wondering whether and where  you may be doing some fairs this year; I'll keep an eye on your website and hopefully we'll catch up.

 

Again many .thanks for doing such a great job on the belt.

 

All the best,

 

Nick

Over the moon!

 

Please let me know which country shows you might appear at this year in the South East. Be lovely to see you guys again (and hopefully buy some more goodies!)

 

Kindest regards

November 2019 – Personalised darts case

Good evening Brian,

Thank you for my dads dart case! I really think he will love it! Not happy with Royal Mail though, you have clearly asked for signed delivery and it was not signed for by me? I have no idea who has signed for it? It’s just a scribble in the box which makes me think that it was the courier who delivered it! Just glad I’ve got it!

 

One quick question though, I’m a little bit concerned how tight the leather is, is it supposed to be like that? I could barely get my finger in?

 

Thank you again? The quality is brilliant! I can’t wait to see his face!

October 2019 – Restoration of a fitted box camera case

Hi Brian,

Case received safe and sound this morning.

At first I thought you’d managed to shrink it, but it was just the total looseness of the unstitched case I was comparing it with.

The camera fits tightly and perfectly (typical flipping Germans!) with terrific protection.

Well done! Great work.

I’ll see what else I can find for you to do!

Cheers and thanks again,

Clive

Re: Horticulture Toolbelt
Dear Brian,
Just an email from Australia to say thanks for your fine toolbelt!
As a professional horticulturalist I use my belt everyday, it is a real pleasure to use and sturdily crafted. Much better than the mass produced belts on the market and looks great as well!

When I need more leatherwork items I will definitely be in touch!

Cheers

Thank you so very much for the speedy turnaround of the black belt, love the

design, and I am thrilled with it.  Your service is first class,  and it is

still people like yourself out there showing true professionalism,

craftsmanship, pride, and care with what you have created,  and I consider

myself very lucky to have found you to undertake the work I required, thank

you again.

 

 

Best wishes,

July 2019 – Custom made toolbox for flat tank on vintage motorbike

Dear Brian,

Many thanks for making me such a beautiful bag. I've attached four photos which I hope do it justice. You are welcome to use them to advertise the bag. If you do so then the description you should use is 'leather tool box / bag for vintage flat tank motorcycle'. Each flat tank motorcycle is slightly different, depending on the model. So to get the proportions correct maybe a small diagram marked with........ so reckon there is an untapped market.

My best wishes and good luck.

Regards, Dan

Hi Brian.
Thanks, I love the visor, you made a beautiful job of it.
You know you could sell hundreds of these to Plein Air painters.
They are perfect. The American market is enormous.
Maybe emboss a famous artist name on the peak as a gimmick - Matisse, Constable, Van Gogh, And so on.
Again many thanks,
Stephen
