Professor Leather also served as a Trustee between both 1993 to 1996 and then 2011 to 2014, the editor of society bulletin Antenna between 1992 and 1995, and the editor of Ecological Entomology between 1999 and 2003. He proudly and prolifically blogged and tweeted about whatever drew his interest, bringing the same keen focus to entomology, roundabouts (photography as well as ecology), genealogy, politics, teaching and more whenever he wrote. But beyond his words and his work, Professor Leather will also be remembered fondly at Harper Adams as a valued and trusted colleague.

I show how to make a car pistol holster for the center console of my vehicle. I've had this idea floating around in my head, and while it may not be the best car holster for everyone, it worked perfectly for my needs and it's an idea I've been wanting to try for a while. I didn't want anything permanently installed in my vehicle since I'll probably be replacing it (the vehicle) soon and don't want to cause any permanent damage to the center console. This leather car holster provides protection for the gun, while also allowing me to carry an extra magazine for those shady areas. And speaking of shade - the gun is also equipped with a rail-mounted light since evil never sleeps!His work took him across the globe, from Iceland to Africa, and he had lived in diverse locations from Jamaica to Hong Kong, as well as his native county of Yorkshire, and was enjoying spending time at a holiday property in France with his wife, Gill. Manufacturers of car care products offer numerous leather-specific solutions, from disposable conditioning wipes to updated versions of traditional two-step cleaners and conditioner formulas. There are also all-in-one products that claim to clean, condition and protect leather, vinyl, rubber and more. After roughly a decade of use, I finally upgraded my maker's stamp! This video shows my new press setup, which is a a 6-ton Bench Shop Press from Harbor Freight. I start off the video by assembling the press, adding a simple upgrade, and conclude with a brief demonstration!

The influence Professor Leather had was reflected in the warm words from colleagues and students, past and present, when the news of his death was announced. He was a very engaging person – I think it is only in the last few years, as some of his work wound down it, became clear just how much he did, talking to all kinds of clubs and societies about entomology, insects, and what he did.” Among this new generation are current Harper Adams Entomology lecturers Dr Simon Segar and Dr Joe Roberts.

There are also all-in-one products that claim to clean, condition and protect leather, vinyl, rubber and more. Ultra-high-end materials like porous aniline leather and suede are best left to an experienced professional detailer due to the risk of damage and resultant replacement costs. From the very beginning I was much more interested in how insects worked and behaved rather than in collecting and pinning them.”

Subsequently, Professor Leather was at Imperial College London for 20 years, working on agricultural, horticultural and forest pests. Tributes have been paid to a leading figure in the entomological community who passed away peacefully this week. Professor Leather’s first degree, from Leeds University, was in Agricultural Zoology, essentially parasitology and entomology related to agriculture. Edger (SLC Pro-Tool Edge Beveler Size 1 = 0.6mm): https://www.springfieldleather.com/SLC-Pro-Beveler_3 Dr Andy Wilcox, Head of the Agriculture and Environment Department, said: “When he did start with us, I think it had a big impact – on how we went about research, but also in terms of the kinds of opportunities we went for.These aspirations were badly received by his father, who tried to deflect him into theatrical management because it would make more money. In 1938 John entered L'Ecole des Beaux Arts, Lausanne, where he received the first prize in drawing and design and then went on to the Bartlett School of Architecture, London University, where he took a course in interior decoration. In his spare time he took ballet lessons at the Craske Ryan School while attending evening classes in life drawing and painting under Mark Gertler and Meninsky. In 2012, Professor Leather joined Harper Adams as the head of a new Entomology team, leading teaching and research. This video shows how I made a lined clip-on mag pouch for the Sig P238 pistol magazine. This is the first of four videos I made of a batch of gear for Atomic Cowboy - a new eyewear company. The leather is 3-4 ounce Herman Oak, dyed with Fiebing's Pro Saddle Tan and Dark Brown, sewn with 277 natural colored bonded nylon thread, edges polished with Tokenole, and sealed with Fiebing's Resolene (diluted 1:1 with water). It turns out that you can know too much about insects at the same time as you don’t know enough about them!” he wrote, taking readers through his editorial journey to decide what did – and did not – belong in the manuscript.

And Dr Roberts added: “He was an entomologist in the broadest sense. He was a mover on social media too, with almost 10,000 followers – but an unconventional one. Professor Helen Roy MBE, Royal Entomological Society President, said: “Simon was truly inspirational and changed entomology in the UK in extraordinary ways.

At Leeds he fell in love with aphids and his PhD, at the University of East Anglia, was on the ecology of the bird-cherry-oat aphidRhopalosiphumpadi. Dr Segar said: “It is hard to think of anyone comparable in terms of influence – though he didn’t seek recognition for what he did, he just enjoyed it. He recalled: “What started as a purely pedagogic exercise (Leather & Helden, 2005a), turned into a voyage of discovery and a realisation that roundabouts are, and can be, great sources of biodiversity (Helden& Leather, 2004), and in addition, could perhaps act as nature reserves (Leather & Helden, 2005b).”
