Re: Wanted Cassesse S89, CS20 Cart or possibly CS299, CS200

I have a very nice second hand Cassesse S89 along with a Bambi (silent) compressor plus many extras and masses of Cassesse wedges/v nails.
All the original paperwork is included. :D

The total price is £800 collected.

Regards.

Re: Moulding for sale

Is there any bare wood profiles? If so how many lengths?

Have you got a figure in mind for the complete lot or are you looking for offers?

Thanks.

Re: Double sided Football Shirt Frame

I've just framed an enormous Rugby shirt signed all over including the sleeves :shock: I needed to place the former/template in two pieces and then join inside. Scarecrow shape type thing.
