Can’t say they appeal to me aesthetically but the craftsmanship looks amazing.
Fair play to Mark for making something that looks unique but with a nod back to those old Taylor / Brown bellows.
What a croc!
“Game of Thrones” Bellows?
Perhaps ‘Steam Punk’ is not dead after all…
You gotta have shoes to match. Seriously.
I think they are very cool. I’m happy with all the bellows I currently have, but those look sharp. Kudos to Mark for making something different and original.
Speaking of which, I’ve never seen hinges like that before. Have I been living under a rock?
And each one comes with a free Egyptian plover (Pluvianus aegyptius), which will pick the detritus out of the intake valve as needed.
The three bellows have been snapped up.

do they farm the crocodiles that get used for making handbags etc? i take it there’s no laws that apply when shipping these across borders?
I am sure that some thought this to be just a big tale, but they are just cold-blooded. They can no longer hide from the truth; they have egg on their face. They must swallow their pride. At least we discovered that Rory is not thin-skinned and I, personally, am happy that some people bit on the sale.
