  1. so i mention to my mom that i'm looking for a leather keepall type bag, and she mentions her father in law had just the thing. turns out he was polish, managed to escape during the nazi invasion, was arrested and escaped twice, and ended up in the RAF as a pilot. he bluffed his way into a teaching position on a base, first as a marksmanship teacher (having never shot a gun) and second as a sewing instructor (having never touched a needle). apparantly war makes you a quick learner, cause this is one of the things he made there:

    it looked really bad when i first saw it, and i regret not taking pics, cause the transformation is amazing. it had some shoe polish or something on it, which i had to remove, and was badly dehydrated and cracked. i finished it up with clear wax polish.
