Some amazing news. I have a new wholesale stockist! Working behind the scenes with Jodie has been great, and it’s now time to see my makes all ready and live of ScotDog website.

So go give them a follow and see what they are up to

Only fair that Chief Inspector Bear got to trial some of the new handcrafted rope toys from Treasured Gifts yesterday evening. These reclaimed marine rope toys are awesome!!! Not only do they look great and save unnecessary landfill, they are strong and come in a range of shapes and sizes making them inclusive for different breeds.

Often times, a lot of dog items (especially toys!) aren’t really suited to big strong bois like Bear, but these are an exception, and I must say I think he suits the nautical vibe. Just a shame he refuses to look at the camera 🤣

We now have a range of Treasured Gifts Reclaimed Marine Rope Toys available to purchase on the website, link in Bio 🐾

Every year I get asked if I made my own poppy. The answer is now I get them from here. An amazing family making amazing items from reclaimed marine rope down in England and an inspiration to the craft. If you want one then here’s your chance. At very least drop them a follow and help them grow their community

Today was something a little bit different for myself. A spot of clay shooting! And wow it was so much fun.

May have a bag full of empty cartridges to recycle and reuse but I to what?

What’s your guys ideas and thoughts of how to reuse these?

🎯 CLAY SHOOT! 🎯

Today some of our members swapped the indoor range for something a little different as we headed along to Cluny Clays for a day of clay shooting.

The day was organised as a special thank you from our Chairman, Charlie, to the members who helped with the club’s refurbishment earlier this year. And what better way to say thank you than to spend the day outdoors, having a bit of fun and seeing who could actually hit something! 😂

With 15 different shooting points, everyone had the chance to put their skills to the test, try something a little different and, most importantly, enjoy a great day together. It was also a fantastic opportunity for some team building and for members to get to know each other a little better away from the indoor range.

The whole day was carried out under the watchful eye of our Chairman Charlie, with am******on duties handled by Vice Chairman Nicky… who, somewhat surprisingly, turned out to be the top shooter of the day!

Having never fired a sh***un before, Nicky certainly started the day on the back foot with a rather impressive run of zero hits! 😂 But by the end of the day, the clays were being dusted like he’d been doing it for years!

We were also delighted to have one of our Under 18 members, Lily, join us. Having never fired a sh***un before, she did an absolutely fantastic job and should be very proud of her shooting today. 👏

Andy, Gus and Fiona also put in some great shooting and, most importantly, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

A massive thank you to Chairman Charlie for providing the opportunity and organising such a brilliant day for our members. It was a great day of shooting, plenty of laughs and some excellent company.

Now… who’s up for the rematch?

Interested in becoming part of our indoor r***e club?
Drop us a message and we’d be happy to have a chat and tell you more about the club and how to get involved.

Great to announce I have now secured my wee unit.

Some work to do like cover the walls to stop any dust going into the other units and add a shelf along the back to store my makes but this now allows me to store and make items down here and not in my house.

Even the amazing harbour staff had a wee collections or rope and netting waiting on me knowing I can utilise these into items.

One step closer to my original main goal to recycle all marine plastics by cleaning, shredding and heat injection moulding.

Have any idea what I could do to utilise my space drop me a comment or message. 😊

Hey all, been a wee while since my last post.

So following that post all is okay with my nana and she’s on the mend and doing great.
Still plenty of tests and appointments for me to take her to but we see it as an excuse to enjoy a wee day out and of course have a spot of food.

I’ve also been working away behind the scenes and guess what I just went and done…..

I went and only rented a unit!!! Yes that’s right I’ve now got a wee storage unit to help facilitate keeping on top of the rope I currently have and the potential of more space for more rope and marine plastics!!!

It’s not been cheap but it’s mine for a year and continue use there after on a yearly lease. This will give me the space to sort out my workshop that well isn’t a workshop but now a dumping ground while I’ve been nipping in and out. It also means in more space to store all my makes without it taking up worship space. And potentially a wee area to make some items away from my house where my workshop is.

So hears what I hope to get help with from you.

My ethos is always to reuse and recycle where I can and I want to put a big shelf up to store my tubs of makes away from the floor and working space.
So…
So you have any lumber spare? Maybe a demo of an interior wall and you have studding etc?

And a decent thickness of chip board, ply wood or something similar to make the shelf part from?

If so give me a shout. I’m hopefully getting the keys first week or so in September and would love to get this built straight away before I move anything in.

So please reach out if you have anything

I’m also looking for some sort of wall coverings for two of the walls where they back into other unit holders. As my rope can be dusty I’d love to get some sort of membrane to cover the slats so they don’t get my dust entering there are. So anything you can think of send it my way.

And of course please reach out if you want to buy some makes as the bank balance is a little low now 😜

I’ve also got bigger plans for something this winter but I can’t go to much into this at the moment as we have certain people taking idea of mine and this one is mine to be part off 😘😘 well hopefully if things a line properly 🤞🤞🤞
