He also designs and makes improved and specialised knives and other tools that other conservators and bookbinders covet and use. See his website at jeffpeachey.com

An Open Day is a time for members to come and shop for materials at our QBG shop; to chat with other members; to browse our Library and tools which can be borrowed; or to attend a special demonstration or talk (if scheduled). Open Days are open to the general public to see what we do, but you have to be a member to buy from the shop. Mostly on a Sunday, some Saturdays.
