Only earlier this week we posted about the Bedford aero screen roof heading back to its owner…

Now, here’s a look at the side doors we made for the same vehicle!

There’s never a dull moment in the workshop — especially when working on British wartime vehicles. Many of them were coach-built, which means no two are ever quite the same. That’s part of the challenge — and the fun!

Every detail matters, and we love bringing these historic machines back to life, one custom-made part at a time.

Never a dull moment in the workshop!

Among the many projects we’ve had on recently, we also made a set of mortar carrier rear seat pads. Just another example of the variety of work that comes through our doors.

From full restorations to one-off pieces — we love the challenge and the history behind each job.

Got something in mind? Big or small, we’re always happy to help.

It’s not all big projects in the workshop…

While we’ve always got larger restorations on the go, there are plenty of smaller jobs happening in the background too.

Last week, for example, we stitched a new collar onto a customer’s jacket and replaced the leather on a set of braces.

No job is too big or too small — if we can help, we will.

Got something that needs a little attention? Drop us a message!

There’s nothing like bringing a set of Bedford door screens back to life!

These were definitely in need of a rework — and we think the photos speak for themselves.

We spent time cleaning down the frames, replacing the machine screws and nuts, and giving them the attention they deserved. They now look like they’ve just rolled off the production line!

To top it off, we even created a custom storage bag to protect the PVC panels when not in use.

Got something that needs a second chance? Big or small, we’re always happy to take a look — just get in touch!

It’s not always all work in the workshop… sometimes we just get creative!

Last week, during a bit of downtime, we put together a one-of-a-kind handbag — made entirely from leftover materials (except the zips!).

With a spark of inspiration, a few scraps from the offcut bin, and a bit of help from Axholme Sign’s new laser , a bag was born… all in a dinner break!

Because let’s be honest — a woman can never have too many bags, right?

It’s not all about canvas at Tasker & Co!

Last week, we had the pleasure of working on a vintage jacket for a customer — a piece full of history and sentiment.

The fabric was dry and in need of a little TLC, so we carefully restored it to ensure it could be worn once again, just like his father did for many years.

Whether it’s repairs, restorations, or reproductions — we’re here to help breathe new life into your cherished items.

Got something special that needs attention? Get in touch!

Proud moment in the workshop last week!

We handed over a freshly finished Bedford aero screen cab roof — carefully recreated from the original drawings.

The customer supplied the fabric, and we crafted new straps and marked everything up to ensure a perfect fit. It’s always a privilege to bring historic vehicles back to life with accuracy and craftsmanship.

We can’t wait to see this one out in the wild — along with the other items we’ve made for the truck!

Got a restoration project in mind? Let’s make it happen — get in touch!

Scammell!
Last week, we created a bespoke set of cushions for a customer’s Scammell truck.

These were made to spec, complete with press-stud closures and a fixing strip so they could be securely screwed to the seat base.

Whether it’s repairs, custom creations, or full reproductions — if it involves sewing, we can help.

Got a project in mind? Drop us a message — we’d love to hear about it!

Busy day in the Tasker & Co workshop!

Today we’ve been getting stuck into the seats from a Bedford QLB — and as always, it all starts with the disassembly. this time next week these will look as good as new

No two days are ever the same here, and that’s just how we like it.

We’ve got a lot on the go this week, but there’s always room for one more project.

If you’ve got something that needs a bit of expert attention, why not get in touch? We’d love to help.
