This shoe shine stand shown can easily fit in the back of a Prius hatchback, and can be used at banking conventions, airports, bars, hotels or downtown business district high rise lobbies, car wash waiting areas or car dealerships. Daily income for an experienced shoe shiner with the right locations who can clean suede and tennis shoes as well as dress boots and shoes can easily bring in over ,000.00 per day and even more in some of the busiest airports. If someone is seriously interested in a career in shoe shining there are numerous tutorials on YouTube on how to shine shoes, and internships in shoe shining are offered through Texas Shine Shoe Shine Stand on Yelp as well.
The foot supports are solid brass. The brass foot supports may be 30 years old or older and were taken from an older shoe shine stand that was no longer in use. Although there are multiple brass foot support models shown, the picture of brass foot supports with a ceramic tile background are the exact brass foot supports that will be shipped with this order. The wood attachment and bolts for the antique foot supports are brand new and were manufactured July 13, 2021. The maple and pine wood base of the brass shoe supports have been molded with a router to smooth and round the wood edges. The wood base for the brass foot supports is painted with black enamel paint. The wooden base attached to the brass foot supports has a special 3M product for grip so that the shoe shine foot base does not move or shift during a shoe shine. The foot supports including wood base attachment require minimal assembly and fit in two boxes weighing 23 pounds for both boxes. Shipped with Fedex Ground which advertises a 5 to 7 day shipping time.
The genuine leather seated bar stool/high chair is not included as one can easily buy a high chair/bar stool exactly as shown from IKEA for 9 where the seat is 30 inches off the ground. If and when you buy a leather seat high chair/bar stool from IKEA, the seat must be 30 inches from the ground to be compatible with the foot base that is for sale in this auction. IKEA also offers delivery if you do not live within driving distance of an IKEA. Any other bar type stool or even a barber chair will work as long as the seat is 30 inches off the floor and as long as the chair does not have an attached foot rest that would interfere with the positioning of the brass foot supports with attached wood base.
The shoe shiner sits comfortably on a stepping stool which is not included as a stepping stool can be purchased from Walmart for .88. Most people live within driving distance of a Walmart. IKEA even sells higher quality wooden footstools if preferred.
If the shoe shiner wants, he or she can also buy one or two small separate wooden side tables from an antique shop if he or she needs a place to put shoe shine supplies. Side tables are not included. The shoe shiner can also comfortably place supplies under the solid maple wooden base attached to the brass shoe supports.
Two of the pictures where I’m wearing a tuxedo were taken at a wedding for the daughter of a billionaire Houstonian oil tycoon to show how the portable shoe shine stand actually looks when it is in actual use. The shoe shine fees collected for this 3 hour wedding pre-reception event were 0.00 which includes about 0 in tips.
