Too broke to retire, too much in love with what we do to quit. I kept a sideline leather shop while serving church pastorates during a 30 year career. Bought out a shoe shop in April, 23 and opened an in-town shop in February 24. Shoe business is so good that we have stopped—at least temporarily—taking orders for leather fabrication. 

I would love to connect with cobblers who do not mind sharing information. Attempting to learn to fine-tune a Landis 12K. I fear that this machine needs some rebuilding, but I don't know. I would like to know more about using the Heel Wheel and two Auto Solers that came with my purchase. I am looking for a sole press. 

Our shop is Hedgerow Leather and Shoe Repair, 3023 US 221 N, Marion, NC 28752. Phone is 828-460-7913. Email is lostranger@mindspring.com

I love communicating with other leatherworkers.
