The Empire 👌

The new shop on the left is @pennywellstore which I opened a few weeks back. If you like my leather goods and what’s going on with Nelson & Forge I’m pretty sure you’ll like what’s for sale in there. Drop Pennywell a follow if you’d like to see what’s going on and be updated with some of the latest stuff for sale.

Still clearly in a bit of shock from a successful opening weekend @pennywellstore
•
Logistics were a challenge managing both stores and a crappy broadband connection which affected payments but lots of lessons were learned. New broadband going in tomorrow and @sionroe popping by tomorrow to help me out.
•
Thanks for everyone’s patience whilst I work to improve everything, get some more cool stuff in and increase my opening hours. Building all this is tough 🤯😉
•
And to the good few people that asked, the shirt is the Sunday Shirt from @andsonsuk and not it’s not for sale 😂

15yrs and I’ve never wet moulded anything. Not bad for a first shot prototype at a leatherman sheath for a customer.

Just in time for the good weather? ☀️

So this is what I came up with!

V2 is always better than V1 but I hope my customer likes it nonetheless. I’m pretty happy with it!

TODAYS JOB
•
Ever heard of a Baldric? Me neither. Apparently it’s a means to carry all your pirate shit. The one I’m making is for a scabbard and 2 flintlock pistols.
•
Not making much money but every now and then I get asked to do something that I know will challenge me so I’ll have a good go.
•
Everything is a replica so if you see me waving stuff around in the shop I’m either measuring or pretending to be Captain Jack Sparrow. In which case let me have my fun 🏴☠️

Best view in the house!

You may have noticed that my good pal @sionroe was doing a stellar job in the shop over the weekend. Very nearly a record breaking weekend for which I’m very grateful to both Sion and you guys for continuing to support my business. 🙏🙏

K and I are currently freezing our tits off in #Oslo….one of the most spectacular places in one of those most spectacular countries. Here for another day before hopefully getting to see the Fjords and then a sneaky trip to Amsterdam later in the week.

I’ll be back in the office sometime next week if they make me come home 🤷♂️
