Have figured out how to scan pics of some shoe shine items I have listed and just attached to this post and hope they can be viewed. Please pm any questions you may have. God Bless. Ray shoeshinebutler.pdf collinsshoeshinestand.pdf

Time for me to move on and begin moving out some additional items from shop. I have a very nice, like new, complete pro shoe shining station. A high mounted cushioned chair on large pedestal that has two storage drawers, vibrating seat and remote control. Can't remember if it has a heating element but will attempt to look next trip to shop. In addition, there are two cast iron units that attach to wall if you prefer to shine while not on a foot. They are great. The station would have to be picked up in Opelika, Alabama and assistance would be needed to disassemble and load as it is quite large throne style unit. Units are originally @ $4,000.00 and this one is as good as new but priced far less than the new price. Had hoped to place it in operation but physical limitations got in the way, as they sometimes do. Would prefer to sell all of my shoe related items as a lot, including shoe and boot stretchers from various manufacturers, as well as a nice collection of polish, sole edging, etc. If this is something of interest, please send me a pm to discuss details. God Bless. Ray

Hello 4wheeler, Received my order of the rivets on the 24th and just had to try them yesterday. They were great and what I would consider to be quality merchandise. Hope that you are as satisfied as I am when you receive yours. God Bless. Ray

Hello pawpaw, You must show us your rc trucks. Are they hauling any leather goods? Saw some years ago, large semis and many Aussie rigs that were outstanding. Cannot remember the name of the company but did purchase their catalogs and had thought about handling the line here in Alabama. God Bless. Ray

Hello keepitSimple, Just watched the video you suggested and it was great. Do you, or anyone else, have any idea where such a box holding clamp might be available? With my hands, something like this would be a valuable asset. Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year. God Bless. Ray

Just placed an order yesterday, with Lord & Hodge, www.lordandhodge.com and they were very helpful. Ordered "0" size with 1/4" id and "luf" as follows: Standard at .174, Long Plain Washer at .215 and then the Special Plain Washer at .328. All are solid brass and prices were reasonable. Hope this is of use to some of you seeking longer grommets. Merry Christmas and best wishes for a superb New Year. God Bless. Ray

Very nice way to hold and display the knife. Great workmanship and a pleasure to see. Merry Christmas and a great New Year. God Bless. Ray

Just had to add my two cents by saying that it is great and a real pleasure to see. Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. God Bless. Ray

Frank, they are all superb. Beautiful workmanship all around. You have the touch and makes all who see your work a bit envious. Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year. God Bless. Ray

Hello Eccho, I purchased a 3 ton arbor press from Northern Hydraulics and it is great. Recently used it to click out over 200 pieces @ 2 1/4" x 4" and the only thing that wore out was me. lol. I do cut larger pieces as well but nothing to the extreme that would require powered clicker to accomplish. Have it mounted on a bench as I have to work from a seated position. Has a relatively small footprint. Hope you find what you need soon. Merry Christmas and God Bless. Ray

Hello Zayne, Have you used Angelus Products before? They have a coffee dye that imparts a beautiful deep dark brown and have never had an issue with the dye. No discoloration, etc. I purchase mine from www.turtlefeathers.net and have done so for several years. Great folks and some interesting products. Have a wonderful Christmas and great new year. God Bless. Ray

The time of year that we can all reflect on the past and be thankful for what we have. A time to restore our faith and celebrate all good things. Time to share our best wishes with everyone and count our blessings. A moment in time that has allowed us to share and reflect upon the true meaning of the season May God Bless and keep you all safe, happy and smiling, throughout this wonderful time and for many years to come. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to all. Ray and Mimi

Hey Ramrod, I doubt if I could ever find anything to send the friend of your cousin that collects the strainers. lol. I must admit, it is a definite first I have ever heard of these being collected by anyone. Probably someone out there that collects the urinals and toilet bowls as well. lol. God Bless. Ray

WOW, Zikman !!!! And I have been thinking that I was the only person around, that functioned in that manner. lol. It is a bit frustrating at times but then again, the pleasure of being able to create something eliminates any frustration for me. Keep at it and smile each time you create a work of art. Now the secret is out and I had better make some changes. lol. God Bless. Ray
