It does look nice but how can you call it a shop when everything is so easy to find and use?  Maybe you meant showroom?

Sitting in a messy, dark room of ten square meters, looking at the window of a nosy neighbour and then redirecting my gaze at the pics of your shop  I'm JEALOUS!
Very nice basket stamping on the wallets!

Nice shop, and I love the stitching on the wallet....what size/kind of thread are you using? and are you using a stitching chisel or a pricking iron? Thank you!

Thank you all for the nice comments!

thekid77: This is the thread I'm using: http://www.campbell-randall.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=43_60_62&product_id=963 . I've been using it for about ten years and like it; I'm going to give Tiger thread a try sometime soon as that seems to be more abrasion resistant. I'm using neither chisel nor iron for my stitching. I taught myself using Al Stohlman's book and only use an overstitch wheel to mark my line before sewing with the saddler's stitch. Since coming across Mr. Armitage's videos I've found that, to get the angled look, I can't groove the line as that flattens out the stitches. That's one reason why I want to see about Tiger thread. 

cseeger: Don't worry, it won't stay that neat forever , although I like it fairly orderly; I can't stand searching for tools when I'm in the middle of a project.

Here's a "thread" you might be interested in.  

 

Your shop looks terrific.  The only thing that could possibly be better is if you could drive your truck into it.......well that and maybe a living area and full service bar.......and perhaps a makeshift kitchen with a wood fired pizza oven and an infrared steak grill......and extra wide permitter aisles so you could  roller skate around the whole thing whenever you felt like it.  

But, ya know, chasing that last 1%?  I tell ya, you never get there.   I wish I would have stopped right after the full service bar.
