UKC

Ellos,

Found this company OCD (Obsessive Climbing Designs) that makes hand made Chalk Bags, I haven't seen anything like them. My two arrived today and the quality is excellent, would definitely recommend.

Review of his gear

Nice fella and some good info on his website. His hair is too short though.

In reply to Spitfire:

Nothing the matter with reminding everyone though

In reply to Spitfire:

As said just above. No harm reminding everyone about it. Drew is a really nice bloke (with short hair) and he's house trained too!

In reply to Spitfire:

Just bought one based on your feedback. Word of mouth - best marketing tool ever

In reply to Spitfire:
Cheers for the feedback Spitfire, it's really appreciated.
If anyone does have any feedback (good or bad) about OCD products or the website, please always feel free to let me know. (Any feedback about my new haircut is not welcome GBPCG!)
I'm doing some website updating stuff for the next day or two, so apologies for any broken links etc....It's a constant learning process for a luddite like me.
Thanks again.
Drew

It's no short enuff Drew, I'll bring the clippers next time yer up

In reply to dirtbag1:

Drew, I was looking at your site a few weeks ago and it looked like you'd stopped doing the boulder buckets. Any plans to bring them back? Or did they never leave and I just missed it all?

In reply to DNS:

Ordered yesterday 0930, arrived in the post this morning 0730. Inexpensive and a little work of art in its own right. Go buy one folks, it would be rude not to.

In reply to DNS: Yay! Proof I'm not rude!

In reply to dirtbag1:
We were wondering if you were in the market for making covers for the new BMC guides? None of the existing ones fit. Will email you as well.
Cheers,
Another happy customer!

In reply to dirtbag1:

uh oh, sounds like more work on the way. How will you fit in the training? Maybe you need a minion?

In reply to Spitfire: Chalk bags?

what are they for then?

In reply to krikoman: for carrying chalk - silly boy!

In reply to grumpybearpantsclimbinggoat:

What so you can draw littl pictures on the pavement? :¬)

In reply to krikoman:

and on crags - go to the Peaks - there's loads of chalk on them.

In reply to Spitfire: I bought my chalk bag from Drew, I think the picture might still be on his website. Look for the most complicated design, that's mine :-D

In reply to dirtbag1:

Yep, I'd like to know if you'd do the kiddies' elephant chalk bag at the full size for me? (NB It's a serious question!)

In reply to Spitfire:
Hey yousguys.
Thanks for all the nice things you've been saying about the chalk bags (and me).
Sorry for the delay in replying, I was in bed all day yesterday with a bug.
A bit better today, just managed to crawl to the computer.
I'll be back beavering away on the website so that should be up and running again gradually over the next day or two.
I'll email back privately regarding any of the above questions.
Thanks again for the interest and support. The products are now looking great and I'm very proud of them.
Our relationship with 'The Wilf Ward Family Trust' http://www.wilfward.org.uk/ (the charity we profit share with) is going from strength to strength, something I'm really enjoying and very proud to be associated with.
Cheers.
Drew

In reply to dirtbag1: A bug you say?

i heard it was gender testing.

In reply to petestack:

Got my bespoke elephant chalkbag incredibly quickly and delighted with the quality, so thanks Drew!
