I Shoe Shine as a Hobby and I am also a Collector of All Things Vintage Shoe Shines. I love the Nostalgia of a Good old-fashioned Shoe Shine.

Finished this yesterday, almost done with a couple other projects and starting a couple more today. Been searching for a design that I like but has a little of my unique twist on it... I like this one and will do another but the next one I will had a pattern stamped out on it and antiqueed as well.

I absolutely LOVE my Olights!!! Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS Olight World!!!

Merry Christmas EVERYONE!!! Been waiting for my last day of work before Christmas break for this carry! Our company shuts down every year until after New Year's day! Which is so awesome considering for most of my life I worked Christmas Eve then back to the busiest week of the year the day after Christmas. So I especially appreciate this time of year and the company I have been working for now for the last 5 Christmases.

So I am in Orlando on Business through Friday and I didn't really prepare with pics planned for posting while traveling. So I grabbed this one taken this past Monday showing a Slip-Sheath on bottom that I used and posted on Tuesday along with a set of slips and leather worry stone that I am working on. At this point I am down to deciding on some colors and perhaps carving some kind of design as well as edging... They will all match once completed .

I had to make a slip sheath big enough for this brick 😆 I actually love this pure copper handle knife from which is my largest over all, including the weight. Sometimes I want to feel it more and this one delivers. I am super impressed with the action on it which is butter smooth and has a "finger saver" in the choil for gravity drop closing. This was my 1st Kershaw in years which has renewed my interest in the brand as they have been really moving away from the Made Cheap for Walmart type of knives and releasing some really badazz stuff again! One thing I know is Kershaw knows how to design and produce quality knives as it was what they were founded on back in the day when they were regarded as a USA Premium Knife Manufacturer, (long before Walmart).

is a similar story and they are putting out some of the best Pry Tools in the market as well as some really nice EDC knives!!!

So I really try to take out and put away the tools and products as I need and use them but over time as I am hyper focused on the progress of the project, this happens!!! I really prefer to do my leatherwork in the living room instead of the shop, where I can watch TV in the background, be around the fam and take small breaks to lean back on the couch to give my bad back a break... My wife understands but isn't a fan. I have no idea why 🤔🤔🤔

Am I weird, or anyone out there do the same thing???

I just had to repost an old post of mine now that Instagram offers music in our posts. This was a photo of some of my antique Saphir Collection along with some newer products of theirs. I love Saphir and have litterally spent thousands on their products over the years. I actually could probably go into business as a full-time Shoe Shine Artist and not run out of product for 2 years or so LOL.

Once again, I simply brought this pair back to health. A good cleaning, fully hydrated them, and restored the leather's nutrients. Then, I added a Tabacco Light and Dark Brown Saphir Pate de Luxe Creme. NO WAX.

Pebbled Leather isn't really made to be highly shined, in my opinion. It's a simple but classy look. Don't get me wrong, I have seen some amazing shoes with Pebbled Leather that look amazing with a mirror shine. But when I was given a loafer style shoe with Pebbled Leather, I knew what I had to do. These were definitely very dry, with heavy creasing beginning to form. So after a good cleaning, I fully hydrated them with a Heavy duty Grease to replenish the leather's nutrients. Then, after fully absorbing the Grease and drying, I actually used Navy Blue Saphir Medaille D'or Creme. Buffed the Shoes good, and this photo is how they began and ended. They look and feel much healthier.

I absolutely love my EDC backpack! It's an Elements x50 Limited Edition XPAC. It's a heavy duty Nylon exterior 500D Face with 1680D on the bottom and sides. It's lined with a Blood Orange Honeycomb Ripstop Nylon known as XPAC. It's meant for Pouch Packing as I have done and has many molle style places to hook items, which they call an internal modular system. It has a hidden pocket on the front outside and front inside along with a net style pocket. It also has a laptop compartment. At 24L, this backpack is the perfect backpack for my EDC needs. This is the best backpack I have owned, and I have owned hundreds and several high-end backpacks.

Added a coin to my pocket pouch. I have had it for around 7 years; carry it often, and I will now carry it in my EDC pocket pouch.

Finally, I completed my new front pocket carry pouch. Blade ✔️ Light✔️ Prybar✔️ Pen✔️ Paper✔️ Clippers✔️ Lip Balm✔️ Lighter✔️ It's light and fits✔️
