I am the very proud recipient of these two gifts.
Now for the rest of the story.....
David liked a bag I made and posted on the forum, so I said I'd send it to him for the kind things he's done for me in the past. Being the gentleman that he is, he wouldn't hear of it as a gift. He asked if there was anything I needed, and I said a small, simple, useful screwdriver for lock bolts would be nice. He said that was not nearly enough, and would I like anything engraved? So I asked if he'd put my avatar NC skep hive on a Ted Cash brass box for me. I should have known Mr. Crisalli NEVER does anything halfway.
Notice the "simple" screwdriver. I am thinking it belongs in the Museum of Art. David added a sterling silver disc to the brass box, as he felt it wasn't nice enough on the brass. What a guy! :-) The two items are looking at me on my desk, and I have yet to get up the nerve to use them and "dirty them up".
David, my sincere thanks. You have put me deeply in your debt. If you need something in leather, just let me know.
God Bless, and best wishes, Marc
