bumpy22 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 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 post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites

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

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.
