A strange name for these little portable seats. I was asked to replace the worn and torn canvas for leather, which were needed in time for the Cartmel Races last weekend. Such a simple design and very effective, shooting sticks come in different shapes and sizes. These two are made from aluminium so they’re light-weight …
I’ve been doing lots of repair jobs recently. Here’s another example – a Barrett Alley wallet in need of some new thread. I decided that it needed to be taken apart and all the visible stitching re-sewn as neatly as possible. I love seeing how other makers work. An example is the little cutout on …

You can see how the side wall had collapsed. Looking inside, after removing the deteriorating lining, the reinforcing cardboard was …

It was bought by the owners at a recent auction, complete with the original canvas bag still in good condition. The original leather strap was very brittle and had broken in several places so the owner …
