I made a fisherman’s stool to take with me to the river. I turned and drilled the wood, cut and stitched the kangaroo leather, wet-molded the ‘pockets’ for the end of the wood to go into, and when I’d finished, I sat down gingerly to try out my new creation — BAM!! — I fell right through it, tearing the leather apart with my fat arse.
So I over-engineered this one to last a long time, and bear my 100kg girth. It uses a very thick cow leather instead of kangaroo, has webbing straps stitched along the edges, and is copper-riveted and stitched around the rivets for extra support.
