After roughly a decade of use, I finally upgraded my maker's stamp! This video shows my new press setup, which is a a 6-ton Bench Shop Press from Harbor Freight. I start off the video by assembling the press, adding a simple upgrade, and conclude with a brief demonstration! He recalled: “What started as a purely pedagogic exercise (Leather & Helden, 2005a), turned into a voyage of discovery and a realisation that roundabouts are, and can be, great sources of biodiversity (Helden& Leather, 2004), and in addition, could perhaps act as nature reserves (Leather & Helden, 2005b).” Professor Leather’s first degree, from Leeds University, was in Agricultural Zoology, essentially parasitology and entomology related to agriculture. During this time he discovered the joy of urban ecology – which inspired the name of his blog, “Don’t forget the Roundabouts”.

Manufacturers of car care products offer numerous leather-specific solutions, from disposable conditioning wipes to updated versions of traditional two-step cleaners and conditioner formulas. There are also all-in-one products that claim to clean, condition and protect leather, vinyl, rubber and more.From the very beginning I was much more interested in how insects worked and behaved rather than in collecting and pinning them.” I show how to make a car pistol holster for the center console of my vehicle. I've had this idea floating around in my head, and while it may not be the best car holster for everyone, it worked perfectly for my needs and it's an idea I've been wanting to try for a while. I didn't want anything permanently installed in my vehicle since I'll probably be replacing it (the vehicle) soon and don't want to cause any permanent damage to the center console. This leather car holster provides protection for the gun, while also allowing me to carry an extra magazine for those shady areas. And speaking of shade - the gun is also equipped with a rail-mounted light since evil never sleeps! This video shows how I made a lined and steel reinforced clip-on IWB (Inside the Waistband) holster for the Sig P238 pistol. This is the second of four videos I made of a batch of gear for Atomic Cowboy - a new eyewear company. The leather is 3-4 ounce Herman Oak, dyed with Fiebing's Pro Saddle Tan and Dark Brown, sewn with 277 natural colored bonded nylon thread, edges polished with Tokenole, and sealed with Fiebing's Resolene (diluted 1:1 with water). This video shows how I made a lined IWB (Inside the Waistband) mag pouch for the Springfield EMP & standard sized 1911 .45 ACP magazine. This is the third of four videos I made of a batch of gear for Atomic Cowboy - a new eyewear company.

He proudly and prolifically blogged and tweeted about whatever drew his interest, bringing the same keen focus to entomology, roundabouts (photography as well as ecology), genealogy, politics, teaching and more whenever he wrote.One of the founding editors of Insect Conservation, which he edited between 2008 and 2021, he also served as an editorial board member of Agricultural & Forest Entomology and was Chair of the RES Library Committee from 2018 to 2021. At Leeds he fell in love with aphids and his PhD, at the University of East Anglia, was on the ecology of the bird-cherry-oat aphidRhopalosiphumpadi.

The influence Professor Leather had was reflected in the warm words from colleagues and students, past and present, when the news of his death was announced. Dr Pope said: “One of the things he loved about Harper Adams was the collegiate atmosphere – he engaged with colleagues closely and was always encouraging people to do new things and to go for things they hadn’t previously gone for. This video shows how I made a lined clip-on mag pouch for the Sig P238 pistol magazine. This is the first of four videos I made of a batch of gear for Atomic Cowboy - a new eyewear company.

Among this new generation are current Harper Adams Entomology lecturers Dr Simon Segar and Dr Joe Roberts. You could set your watch by him – he went on his rounds every morning, talking to colleagues – and you could time him, absolutely to the minute. He loved making those rounds and talking to people.”And Dr Roberts added: “He was an entomologist in the broadest sense. He was a mover on social media too, with almost 10,000 followers – but an unconventional one.
