My dad was born in '29 too, Dec. 30. I don't know if I'd call him a cobbler. He just used whatever was at hand and wood was reserved for special things. He was always doing deals with my sisters trading cars with them. I remember him telling me to look in the '70 bug he'd put seat covers on and on the floor behind the front seat on the floor was a yellow Prestone coolant bottle. ?!?!? WTH? When I looked close he'd put a radio in it and didn't have anywhere to put the speaker so he mounted it in the Prestone bottle. It was all I could do to keep a straight face when I saw that.Cobblers unite!
My dad’s material of choice was plywood. For all things. That and the kind of thin metal used to sheet campers and RVs.
When he passed away I must have recycled twenty pounds of small pieces.
