Cool. I'll dig around and see if I can find them online, or even Home Depot.

This is my tooling area. Behind me is my cutting and dying flat top (ie my seldom used dining table). Am obsessive about neatness and organization. lol

I see most all of ya have close to the same tools that I do, but most of my hand tools are carried in a small trunk, I travel to and fro every weekend. Great set-ups, I'm jealous of the room some of ya have!

Hey Ray,

As soon as I received your message I came right over. Finally, Ray's Shoe Throne, very nice. This is quiet way of letting us know that you learned to do leather work from the ground up, ha, ha. Those shoes all look brand new except I know for a fact, new shoes don't come with a bright spit shine. I joined the Marine corps in 1965 and I was just getting the hang of doing a good spit shine in boot camp when they sent me South, yea, the other South. I can't imagine the stories and stock market tips and so forth that have come down from your leathery throne and I'm sure, some you will never reveal.

As for selling items in your shop, I think you need to start off with an Auction Barn, you gots lots of stuff.

Thanks for the Throne pic amigo and the others.

That Eagle Sachel is very, impressive! I see your still working it. You have all the right tools and Ray, you are made of the right stuff. I can tell your blessings are many and most of all, you haven't forgottent nor taken any for granted.

It is a long winded project and one that I am having a great time working on. It is temporarily assembled, a dry fit, as they say, and will soon be taken apart for some additional pyrography, but only after I have completed the internal stiffener. Have yet to decide on a handle/strap setup. It was a small idea that grew as I decided to build it. Just a fun challenge and no idea what it will be good for. ckl.

Thanks for all the compliments.

Hope your weekend is full of good times and plenty of Blessings.

Those shoes are some that I have been selling and giving away. There are many military low quarters in the mix and folks seem to enjoy them. As I clean up more around here, I will probably give them away to anyone that can use them.

Stories from the throne are many and fun for everyone. I should have kept a book with the tales related while shoes are serviced. Interesting folklore, which is a subject of which I am very fond.

Time for me to call it a night.

Take good care and God Bless.

Ray,

My thought for the sachel is a long, adjustable strap. The user could carry it from the shoulder on same side as the sachel or the strap could go over the neck. The strap could be adjustable to a shorter length and used as a handle as well.

See how easy that is for me to say, when you have to do all the work. Now, I'm worn out from thinking, nap time.

Bless you my amigo
