That is one cool looking shoe shine kit!
Almost too nice to use!

Very nice kit. I served 9 years with God’s Glorified Marine Corps. I’m jealous I didn’t have a kit like this

Very nice shoe shine box. A few years ago I really could have used one like this, but now with wearing rough-out boots all the time, not so much. I only need to shine my low-quarters, and those I only wear once in a while.

Wow, that’s the nicest shoe shine kit I’ve ever seen.

That is ONE NICE SHOE SHIN KIT, Beautiful wood and superb craftsmanship. In the Infantry Airborne I used to keep a real keen shin on my boots, hours in the making, with a kit like this it would have added rewards, Great job, thanks for bringing up good old memories Mic

-- It's Mic Keep working and sharing

I just came across this project today. Very nice Job

beautiful kit! just wondering what kind of glaze you used for the top?

I used Helmsman high gloss polyurethane. I wet sanded it using 2000 grit then polished with McGuire’s Scratch X. Lot’s of elbow grease. I had to build it up so I wouldn’t sand into the wood. If I remember correctly, there’s 12 or so coats on it sanding lightly between coats with 1000 grit. Just enough to dull the current coat.

Please i need measurement of the shoe shine box.

I do not remember. It was the only one I have ever had to make and didn’t see another on in my future. I do remember that the shoe pad was about a male’s size 10.

Please i need the boxes size inside outside box please reply.

Sir, I do not have the box to measure it and I do not remember the measurements. You will have to do as any good woodworker would do, improvise.
