SO a few years ago my mom bought a new house. She had to put up a temp railing on the front door. She also had new hard wood floors put in. I got all the scrap................cause I'm a scrap-man !
I took a old lock key and drilled some holes, filed it and made it a wall hanger................. Then I made another piece so it could be a stand also.......
I used black stain (unshaken so it's lighter) on the middle piece and antique walnut stain on the rest . 90% reused material.

Aloha , Same here and people always tell me why I keep some of this extras. Later on when they come over and see things they say .....Woe that looks good where did you buy it". I tell them ..... Remember when you asked me why I keep all that stuff , well that is that stuff there..... . One has to be .... With Imagination and develop as one goes along. you would be surprised if you see what I have ...... Kept and Made Use of and even ... Sold It. Just a few months ago I was headed down the street and saw some thing out for trash so I went to ask about it and the Women told me we are clean out junk. So I said mind if I took that, and she said you can have it. Then she says .....Hey can you do with one more and come and see it in the Garage. I said wow I will take it also. Went home got my son's truck came back loaded it and took home and .... Stripped it and Hand Scraped it down and ..... Re-Finished it in ....... Clear Coat. Took about a week to get them done, well I do work fast too.... . What do think of these ..... Two, I think they turned out quite good too. Both now in the ... Other New Work Room. Aloha Louis Recycled and Recondition Old Library Cabinet ...... for Watch's and Parts Storage. 4-Foot High / 10-Inches Deep / 4-Foot Long Scored this from Her also so I ... Re-Did it and finished it. It is .... 3-Foot High/ 10-Inches Deep / 4-Foot Long. Took it all down then Light Sanded it till smooth them ..... Re-Cleared it back to the Natural Color that is was.

I never got a Hold of a ...... " Single Seiko 6105 Yet or any 6139's ". I have not come across even a Parts one of the ..... 6105's but if one comes around I'll do it and even a ..... Bare Case to start. I have a .... 6105 Movement as a Parts One that needs work but no case yet for it. Aloha Louis
