We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind.

We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.

Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.

Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed

Hand decorated 14cm indoor plant pot

Christopher from Blenheim

This is a 14cm ceramic indoor plant pot hand decorated by my 10 year old daughter in permanent ceramic ink.

This is a 14cm ceramic indoor plant pot hand decorated by my 10 year old daughter in permanent ceramic ink.
The ink is baked on so is supposed to be water and dishwasher proof, although I'm guessing you wouldn't put a plant pot in the dishwasher.
I haven't put a specific price as I'm not sure what to ask for something like this, so I'll see what offers are out there.
My daughter could also take commissions if anyone's interested.
Dogs and horses are her main interest, and apart from plant pots, she can also do kitchen usable ceramics, and she does line art and coloured pencil drawings as well. We can reproduce her line art on T-shirts.
I can post more examples of her art if anyone's interested.
I'm trying to teach her rather than giving her pocket money, I'll buy stuff that allows her to be creative so that she can earn money through her own effort.

Sharp As Tooltip

Ron from Fairhall - Renwick - Woodbourne

A number of hunting knives have been coming in to get sharpened. Pictured is a popular brand [ Svord ]. The knives tend to be very thick. This one I thinned the blade down to the edge and put a stronger cutting angle on the edge to give more edge strength, needed for the type of use for this knife.… View moreA number of hunting knives have been coming in to get sharpened.

This one I thinned the blade down to the edge and put a stronger cutting angle on the edge to give more edge strength, needed for the type of use for this knife.
If you have Hunting Knives or anything else that has an edge that needs sharpening, see me at the Redwood market on Saturday or the Marlborough Farmers’ market on Sunday or contact me on direct. Text is best due to workshop noise.
Cheers Ron
