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

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.

Hi Brian
Belt arrived today , usual great quality - thanks.

Keep safe , cheers

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

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!)

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

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

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

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

October 2016 – Sunvisor/ peak cap
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
