Nicholas Furious I know, he’s so fast lol 😂

Ross Jordan That means a lot, thank you!

@@wornwizard nice work.... my only question is what's the reason for using pinesol in your water? After just over 50 years of working leather this is the first I've seen of anyone using pinesol in there water... Again, good job and look forward to hearing from you.

@@jessemarvin3217 You have a lot more experience than I do. A few year back I was having black speckles show up on hides occasionally, I thought maybe it was oxidizing metal dust from the air. I asked about it in a fb group and someone suggested it may be a mold or impurities in my water, and to try adding a bit of pinesol to my water. It worked and I've been using it ever since. Let me know what your thoughts are on this!

Ross Jordan ...now...I....selep...

You are a genius, and I want to learn the tricks with you.

you can still get hand made custom fit shoes and boots. you just have to be willing to pay for it. its one of those things where if you have to ask how much it is, you can't afford it. The cheapest bespoke bootmaker i know of starts at around 800 for a relatively no frills boot. crafts never truely die. they just become rare and demand a premium.

Is great to work with leather. I wish I have my own studio. If yes I would stay there all day...

I really appreciate that!

U cute

True :)

It also teaches about killing done to get leather in the first place. So much in the name of love.

@@Exiide89 How far removed we are from the earth where killing animals for sustenance and survival seems beneath us. A leather piece of clothing is made from the waste of butchering of an animal for food. Skin is useless without making it into leather. At the end of the day I'm much more comfortable with a piece of solid leather footwear that will last a decade, than buying a new pair of shoes that will only last a year, crafted by child slaves in some horrible part of the world. It's only our misunderstanding and willful blindness of the suffering of other human beings that we could think a natural and extremely durable product such as leather could be offensive. Call your local butcher, pick up some deer skin for next to nothing and take that waste and make it into something beautiful and useful. Then you will understand my friend. Get back in the woods, and back to our shared heritage as curators of the planet.

Marcey Robinet OK.. b...

Lalo Diaz awesome tutorial

Lalo Diaz =)

Да, такие сланцы стоят наверное дохрена!

Only one way to find out!

Everyone starts somewhere. Give it a try if you haven't already.

How do you want to gain experience without starting up?. Just find some cheap material and make your best! good luck

Cushion covers are made of chrome tan leather. This is very soft and not comparable to the veg tanned leather he used. Without veg tan, you would need another type of stiff material for the soles. (Btw. I have the same problem. On youtube you only find people working with veg tan leather. But you rarely see chrome tan projects... )

In west Africa, sandals are worn by 95% of the population. I purchased some leather ones, handmade, in answer to your question. The bottoms are made from recycled motorcycle tires. Perhaps this might be of helpful.

Teena Pittman since he doesn’t appear to be offering them for sale, I’d refer you to Southern Polished for high quality handmade sandals. There is a video on their KZfaq channel Trenton & Heath on how they make them.

Teena Pittman here it is kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pb1hhLB_0bfXl3U.html

I don't consider Docs to be good quality, but, if you are a woman who is gravitationally privileged (under, say 125 lbs) than you don't need as much cushion in the sole as I do at 200 Lbs :) :( BTW, this guy cuts boot in half to show you how they are made! kzfaq.infovideos

They cost in excess of $500 but there are a number of leather boot companies in the Pacific northwest that make excellent quality handmade boots and shoes for men and women. Check out Whites, nicks and Frank's. There are a number of less prominent shoe makers sprinkled throughout the country. You just have to look. Quality comes at a price but it also lasts longer.

Well said👏

I have ocd too where are you from

Lorraine Smith

Hahahah

Very good slippers.

Thank you!

Sounds like fun!

Donald Haynes About 20-24 hours. And yes, Tandy. Thanks!!

Christine Davis Thanks! Check out my channel, I did a full build series. Takes 2-3 days.

MakerDad What is the price of those hand made sandals?

Christine Davis This is good and beautiful I am also a women's shoes manufacturer

hassan hrazmi how much for a size EU 45??..? They have to be a mans shoe as I walk weird and need the thicker bottom on both?. It doesn't have to be fancy, I'm a simple person no frilly stuff!!!

Mike Builds Really nice. As nice as they look! (to me anyway)

Well then they must feel superb because they look like you've been working in the shoe business for decades

Sir /ma'am I also make handmade Ladies footwear please please watch once time and .if u like so please.............

Thank you! Good question. I use masking tape and leather wraps to protect my fingers on long sewing projects like these. Mostly the thread seems to cut into the bends in the joints of my index finger, but it can cut anywhere. You can definitely feel it start to happen if its from repetitive sewing. Your experience may vary! Check out my faq video and build series for more.

Excellent info and I will definitely check that out! I'm an avid, all over the place seamstress, crafter, DIYer, jack of all trades. Really appreciate the craftsmanship and the info sharing!

Whats the leather thickness on all three layers? how do you determine the the strap and thong size?

@@jake210c Check out my FAQ and tutorial videos

*Cual seria el costo* ?

MakerDad I have the gear and skills but not the measurements or patterns. I went to @jake210c on Twitter with no results. I assume I’m not going to the right place. Where might one obtain this information good sir? Great tips BTW. Video is straight to the point and loaded with great information. Thanks.

@@MrTTdawgTT Watch my tutorials. The first one discusses the pattern.

Sam Harper You could do that, but you don't have to. I didn't cannibalize another pair, just traced my foot and marked the thong hole between my toes on the first pair.

Start making them cause by the time you get done your flaps will be wore out
