Scott was a great guy- like everyone has said- creative and generous. So sad and shocked to hear of his passing. I literally was thinking about him this past weekend- I need a leather belt shortened and remembered his skill with leather.

He made me a set of custom turned and painted bar end plugs.

And then he rebuilt a Korean War era Army cargo bag into a rack bag for me- he put a whole lot of thought, time, effort and materials into making it awesome. At some point, I wanted the straps longer or shorter... I tried reaming holes in the straps and totally effed them up. Scott replaced them with more appropriate length straps. I'm still really grateful to him for spending the time on the things he built for me.
