OK

Provisional outline for the demonstration

Topics covered will be handsewing/saddle stitching & basic leather projects; plain belt, rifle slings, bolt holsters, roe harness & advanced leather projects; wet-molded Blaser bolt pouch, stalker slings.
The above can be covered in depth or just briefly addressed, as per the mood on the night. Due to the time constraints I will have to use ye olde Blue Peter approach for some of the above, with different stages of one item being pre-made to show how it progresses from leather hide to finished article

ALSO

IF anyone wants to bring along items for repair I may be able to show how these are done too, as long as there is enough time

There may also be an opportunity to try some hand-sewing, etc. again, if there is enough time

IF it all goes ok & there is demand for a repeat performance, I'm more than happy to do a second demonstration....possibly a more themed night on a specific aspect of stalking kit, or whatever folk want to see

 

[NickM]

Looking forward to the meeting and will bring a gun slip up which needs minor work.
