I am VERY proud to announce, that Adventurebilt has gotton a new member who will soon start production of the probably finest, handcrafted leathergoods around. Big words, I know, but what I've seen so far really takes my breath away (and here I thought I had seen it all).
Here's a lil' trivia to fill you in: After a business appointment that I had in Northern Denmark last Friday, I had the chance to meet our very own JEEP at his place, to give him his AB-Dlx. and to spend a couple of hours with a fellow gearhead. My good impressions on this man from earlier e-mails and phonecalls were more than confirmed and after some chit chat about the hat and other stuff, Jakob showed me some of the leathergoods he had crafted. While he explained some minor details that he wanted to fix yet (and which I honestly didn't even see AFTER he showed me), I had plenty of time to test the water resistancy of his good, due to me sitting and drooling over it
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/Indy-laugh.gif)
So when I had finally dryed away the drool from his stuff, my pants and his floor, it kind of stroke me and I turned around and asked him right up, if he'd be interested to become a member of Adventurebilt. Then I kind of regret to overrun the man who had invited me for dinner like that, and told him to think about it, and I’d go and ask Steve for permittance in the meanwhile.
Well, I think I’ve stressed your patience enough for now, so I won’t get into details, how I couldn’t sleep all night in excitement etc. etc. etc. To put it short, Steve aggreed to letting Jakob comming aboard and Jakob made up his mind in the meanwhile too.
As mentioned above, he wants get rid of some invisible „flaws“ yet, but should be up and running in round about two months. Of course I’ll post pictures as soon as I can.
So a heartly welcome from my side Jakob. May this joint venture bring you as much joy as it brought to Steve and me.
Regards,
Marc
