Maybe some baccy pouches, zippo pouches or wallets...& display some of the bigger stuff he sells on eBay in the shop but offer them on a made to order basis? If his work is...

    No drama here fella, it's our ability to acknowledge our mistakes, learn & move forward that allows us to evolve! I like to think that I can learn something from everyone, sometimes I come away disappointed but most people reassure my faith.... glad you found the link of interest!
