··Yoda of YodelersHi folks,
I decided I needed something nicer than a tea towel on the kitchen counter to change watch straps on, so I made up this strap changing pad.
It’s made of rich oil-tanned saddlebag leather that patina’s like no one’s business, and I’ve incorporated a natural vegetable-tanned insert for a strap changing tool & spring bars to rest without rolling away. It’s lined with suede so it stays absolutely in place regardless of how much you are fussing and swearing at the spring bar you’ve launched into space. Saddle-stitching by hand pulls the look together nicely. It measures about 11 3/4” x 9.5”.
I figured maybe one of you would want one of these as well. So, with my sincere thanks for all the fun and friendship on the forum this year, I am happy to give this to the first member to claim it in a post below. All I ask is that you take a moment to pause and maybe make a gift to charity, shovel a neighbours side walk (of snow or sand, being inclusive of both hemispheres), or reach out to an old friend to say hello.
The pad ships free from Vancouver by Canada Post, untracked and not insured. Tool and watch not included. If you’d like, I can ship by courier at cost.
Happy holidays 👍
