Iain McGlinchey

Magnificent!

Not the easiest of projects, but Totoro is now complete. Rather pleased with the end result.

Here's a tribute to one of my musical heroes, Bryan Rodwell. One day Bryan was telling me about his arrangements for a new album at the South Bank Wurlitzer. "Set me some pistons and I'll let you hear them!" A few days later, a copy of that arrangement arrived in the post!

A nice little wet moulded bag with matching leather strap

I’m glad to say that my in house diversity program is still holding strong.

Needed a small music case, so ….

Belting them out today !

Trying out a new design. Elasticated card wallet with coin pouch. I rather like this one although the rivets are a b*tch to set.

Magnificent. I would expect nothing less from the great man!!

And suddenly the world feels less smart, less witty and less elegant. RIP Tom Lehrer, the master of the satirical song, who left us today age 97.

Can you verify your age by being distracted by nostalgia. Asking for a friend.

When your expensive new specs come with a cheap and nasty plastic case …. Just happened to have some gorgeous tumbled Italian veg tan in cognac lying around 😃

Having fun with more custom hand dyed leatherwork.

Baltimore comes to Pollokshaws Fri 18th July 7:30pm with a double bill of "Cry Baby" and "Hairspray". Just doing a wee bit of practise at home. So put your glad rags on and get down with the cool kids to hear our Mighty Wurlitzer sing out on Friday night for our movie prelude with Iain McGlinchey

Yes. Mine came with it. It should start up in auto flash mode with buttons to force on or off. With the switch it stays in the mode you choose. Much easier. Apparently a very simple mod if you can actually find a switch!

Yes! Even more so when it has the 28ti flash switch retrofitted.

Just waiting for the final wax to dry. New camera strap done. 4cm soft crazy horse middle. 1.5cm firm veg tan ends. Length adjustable over 2 studs. I’ll put it on a camera tomorrow and see how it behaves.

Couple of quilt carriers made, but much more fun with the leftover scraps. Some hand dyed card wallets and a wet moulded knife sheath. That’s how exciting my life is 🤣

That looks similar to a strap design I've been working on. Not specifically for Hasselblad, and adjustable. I may be looking for some volunteers to test it out when I'm happy 😉

Blad the impaler ?

Well. We’re just having a braw old time at Pollokshaws Burgh Hall with Michael Wooldridge at the Wurlitzer. You couldn’t hope for a better match of organ and organist. Wonderful musicianship!!

Join us at Pollokshaws Burgh Hall on June 1st for some live Wurlitzer music!

Great. I’ve now finally got the book that teaches you how to bind books. Must give it a try 🤣

Shroedinger’s book. A bookbinding book that you have to bind before you can learn to bind books 😂

The team at SCOT were delighted to welcome Keith Evans to Pollokshaws, on his way back down south after a holiday in Bonnie Scotland, to play our mighty Wurlitzer. I think we can safely say they got on rather well together !

OPEN CONSOLE - COFFEE MORNING Sat 5th April 2025 10:30 - 12:30
Come along to Pollokshaws Burgh Hall and have a go on the Mighty Wurlitzer! The SCOT team can guide you if you're new, you can just listen if you like - and there will be Cake!!

What to do on a dreich Sunday afternoon ?
Take cat photos!
