138586 Larry Holland <estuary@w...> 2004‑11‑16 Bio update
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
