bumpy22 Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Another vote for Mel and his wife. Was lucky to test a very well made deer drag for them quite a few years back. There work is top class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as it's serviceable it's got a new lease of life. I have watched people do leatherwork and also the internet videos, to make a good job each stitch takes a lot more time than I ever thought it would. Place stitch then tension, thread it then lock it in the back with more thread. When redone properly it looks very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkedUp Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Good effort though to do the repair yourself 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjimlad Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 @WalkedUp thanks - no offence was taken 😄 I am sure a practiced professional would produce a far neater result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good response 💪 Glad you understood it was in jest. I always forget that on the internet if you joke with some people, like you do in life with your mates, it is easy to accidentally cause upset.
