    Proper, old fashioned dufflebag like wot I had at school...

    Fancied having a go at something other than the usual rucksacks that I make and, having recently made a bag from an old dinghy sail, I decided that I needed a duffle bag - just like the one I carried my sports kit around in back in the 1960s and 70s. Had to learn to splice and whip double...

    Hi folks; Since retiring, I’ve not been able to make stamps but I’ve finally managed to get some access to the equipment I need so I can get back to it. Still experimenting as it is a different type of laser to the one I used to use. Since I have to pay for this access, I’m...
