jeemes 3,547 Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Yes it is. I know the Abbey england foundry is closed so you can only buy limited stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know what the issue has been, but it was early in the year when I first went to the shop and they were low on brass, and didn't know when supplies were going to be available Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you after something in particular? No it was before the virus and lockdown carry on The leather shop is always like the fork handles scene from the two Ronnies, they make you stay on one side of the counter as they go back and forward to to the sky high set of drawers rummaging about for bits lol, the lads are there busy with their own leatherwork, must be a hassle having to stop as and when someone comes in to be served,no I'm not in any hurry for anything mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeemes 3,547 Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Well I wish I had a leather shop near me. most of mine is online or phone places. Walsall is only up the road really where all the saddlers are but its not an easy journey with traffic. Theres a good foundry called F Martins but they make a lot to order for you. Its good quality stuff and you dont have to buy a load. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
