New Website for Fittings.

[Brian Hancock]

Hi All,

 

There is a new website here in the UK for custom made fittings. Richard Adams is well known in the UK for his fantastic hand made fittings and has at last got a website up and running. This has just been set up so you wont find it on Google yet. I have had fittings made by Richard and I can tell you first hand that they are real works of art. It would be great to give him your support by keeping his web page in your "Favourites" as I am sure as time goes on and his client base grows you will see what a craftsman he really is. Here's a link.

I'm pretty sure he does but you can always send him an email and ask. Richard has also been placed nyusen in the NBTHK shinsaku competitions.

 

A few months ago he made me a silver habaki and it was very reasonably priced and excellent work.

I will. His works seems very nice

Do you know if he makes tsuba proffesionaly?

Ford Hallam and Patrick Hastings both make custom tsuba of a very high level for sale. http://www.taganearts.com/

Ford, who is the top western tsuba maker IMHO, is unaffordable (at least by me), while Patrick, the second best, has a huge backlog...
