Looking for recommendations for a leather worker?
Picked up this bag recently and I'm wondering if anyone knows a good leather worker to replace the missing straps on the back?
Appreciate any help I can get!

Hello! I'm looking for a bit of help with some Bronze lamp controls for this Chinese Archiastic Beem Sleeve lamp we picked up recently.
The top and bottom are wooden that are currently being refurbished, and I'd like to replace the toggle switch that was previously on the top wooden cap (second picture, green buttons. One for on and one for off). I do not want inline controls on the wire. We prefer the switch position stay where it's at but be upgraded although we are fine with one switch and a capped hole.
Once we get the lamp put back together, I'll come back with more pictures for anyone interested.
Last thing. We are going to have it authenticated. It supposedly came from the Nelson Atkins museum. Fortunately, we live about 20 minutes from there.
Also, I'm looking for a shade. If anyone has a line on red lacquered shades, that would be much appreciated as well.
My wife has called for quotes to replace our HVAC system. I'd really appreciate some guidance on what is a good system and what isn't.
I know the big names, but am unsure of quality and longevity!
I have a trip coming up and was wondering if anyone knew of a store or two they'd recommend in the Tacoma/Seattle area I might browse for serviceable Japanese knifes.
Any help appreciated!
I have quite a bit of sharpening gear for hand tools, but they are all oilstones. I'd like to get a set I can leave in the kitchen.
Both knives I have currently are stainless, and I'll probably continue that theme to round out my knives.
I don't mind spending good money, but I'd rather pay for good stones than a name.
Any help along these lines is quite appreciated!
I had the opportunity to use this knife recently and would like to get a comparable one to use.
Any recommendations appreciated!
Or do you have to power listen to the entire series when you find a really good one?

I find myself delaying reading the whole series when I come across a really enjoyable one.

Been working on the interior since we purchased this house, and we are ready to start the exterior.
The inside was French country and is now more modern/light industrial. Would like to update the exterior to match.
Not against treating/painting the brick work.
Sage Green is a color my wife is leaning towards for the main body if that helps.
Yes, the trees will be trimmed back.
