My company's birthday

Here it is, that important day. The second birthday of my dear little company.
At the busiest and most pleasant time of the year.
In the past month I set a small sales record in my company's short history. So there was no time to announce the date on the day itself.
Here, too, my heartfelt thanks to all of you who are reading this, and who cheer me on either simply as fans or by continuing to buy my products, ordering new work, supplying me with materials and helping me find new enthusiasts and buyers. You give me the drive and the continuing reason to carry on.

Violin case repair

Last school year, I repaired my grandchild's violin case. The loops meant for attaching the backpack straps had torn off. She cycles to school, and it’s impossible to ride while holding the violin in your hand. Naturally, the violin and case—which belonged to the school—went back at the start of the summer. Now that the new school year has begun, she has been issued a school violin and case again, but this one is in even worse condition than last year's. So, I undertook the repair once more. This time, I decided to replace the entire back panel—including the piping—and cover the torn section at the end of the case with a leather patch. I used reflective tape for the top layer of the piping. The video condenses six hours of work into three minutes. If anyone finds themselves in need of a similar repair, I will be able to take on a few jobs starting in February 2027, and I can handle a few at a time during the summer break.
