Thanks a lot,
Gene

Thanks for signing up, genewiseman!
Thanks. I no longer shoe horses as my back gave out a few years ago. That is why I am a knife maker now. I never was good at holding a job. I don’t make any leather sheaths either. There is a guy in the edge of Arkansas that I get them from.
Thanks again,
Gene

I can do that. Who makes those lights?
Welcome Gene!!
