Galoots,
Time for an update.
Some of you know about my compound ankle fracture, and how it failed to
heal, and after five years,
collapsed, and had to be fused.
Thought I could do retail, and did for a year, but...no way I could put
up with the footwork that job requires.
So, as of September 1 this year, I opened my own business.
Nahcotta Shoe Repair
Actually, it's a little more than that. If you like, take a look at
the first pic here:

While shoe/boot repair is the mainstay of the business, I'm starting to
get quite a few furniture
restoration projects (word of mouth), and always seem to be sharpening
all sorts of tools an knives.
Have lit the forge a few times, and just picked up some requests for
drawknives.
Also just finishing up a pair of shoes, with 2 pairs of boots in line
after that.
Am enjoying the diversity, and it's significantly less brutal on my
ankle.
Many of the people who enter the shop liken it to a museum.
Oldtools...I guess.
Anyway...that's an update. Stop by if you're in the area.
Larry...in Nahcotta WA
