Boot jacks as part of my groomsmen’s gifts. I bought all my groomsmen black cowboy boot to wear in my wedding. So, I made each of them a boot jack to help remove their boots at the end of a long night of drinking. Makes it a lot easier than fumbling around trying to pull a brand new boot off. Not pictured here are the pieces of leather that go on them to protect the boot heel and the 5/8” block on the back to keep the jack off the floor. They were a good excuse to buy a router template set for the lettering.

Now that is what a call a good groomsman’s gift! New boots and a really nice boot jack to go with it! Got room for another groomsman I can never have enough boots :) They are like clamps can’t ever have enough of them…

Well done. I had boot jacks in my booth at the recent fair. It is amazing how many people didn’t know what they were.
Welcome to LJ’s.

sorry rdjack no more room, wedding took place back in July.
Monte – I didn’t know what they were until about a year ago when i was shopping around to figure out what boot to give my guys. but once i saw them i was in love. they are so easy to make and make it so easy to get boots off.
Thanks for the comments.
