You did a great job

The issue is the horizontal cuts ...all youre leaving is a quarter inch of material, top snd bottom, with horizontal cuts going into it. It will never hold up. Try making that part eithout wny cuts going into it. Like fold and stitch the middle section, then just sew the top and bottom, but don't cut. Just straighten it onto the strap. Dont know if im explaining this right...and maybe add another piece to wrap around the inner piece, but from the other side... You basically just started a tear in your design with those cuts - it will not hold up to even the lightest wear.

Do you have a pattern for these? They're awesome!

Pleased to have learned something new! Thanks, man!

For some reason YT thinks I wanted to watch this. Clearly I did. Hi.

Iron out!? Fun name.... do you know what it is more in detail? Did a decent job for sure. EDIT! Found the MSDS paper - Oxalic acid!

by jingo nice flipey gona make me sum ok?

Great I bought a can an fixed several shoes from regular to work boots 🥾.worked great. I enjoyed the video

How much does a new crystal cost?

Eu já vi várias formas de fazer chinelos mas como este, nunca tinha visto uma técnica tão bem feito e a forma prática é resistente com 4 mantas.

Could I offer a suggestion. On the toe piece I think your weakness comes from the nips you put into the leather strip. Could you not roll the center section without nipping then flatten the end tabs before sewing in place. 30 years of Cut Make and Trim in the interior industry

Thank you for sharing this series of detailed videos. Recently I was commissioned to make a white leather bed base wrap for a long standing client, sewn on industrial sewing machines. I realised that besides my machines I didn't have leather Working tools to speak of. Working with leather again started me thinking about shoe making, so on a whim I bought a inexpensive saddle making set and a book on sandal making. I found your video on Pinterest then watched the rest here on KZbin. Your workmanship is really good and you have really inspired me to get started, just waiting for my tools to arrive. Thanks once again

Dang tell them kids to settle down lol

Pretty sure the instructions tell you to hit the sole with a hammer to set the sole. I used to hang out almost every day at a shoe makers shop that did mostly repairs (as the need for hand made shoes isn't great around this part of Ontario) He would slip the shoe on a steel last and hammer the sole with his cobblers hammer. I bought one off Marketplace for that reason.

I learned a lot. Thank you

Just buy a pair of whites smoke jumpers.

The most annoying background music ever deployed on the internet.

That sharpening speed is almost supernatural. I tried doing it that fast but it ripped time and I had to slow down.

Just an observation: it broke because of the cut at the ends. If you don't want them to break (or last long enough, at least), you should make round cuts, without sharp corners. This is why airplanes no longer have square windows but rather round ones, just to give an example.

That’s beautiful!🤩

I wanna eat that. It looks tasty.

Thats so cool , that would make a neat hair pin or necklace God bless you

Thank you sharing.

Nice, great to see that old tool brought back to life. Just went looking - that's some pricey sandpaper!! Wish they had it in mixed grit boxes, and not boxes of 50 sheets of the same grit at $42 a box.

Bien bonitas.. 😍

Excellent video 👌👌thank you very much👌

FYI to everyone attempting this: hit the store and get 3M wet-dry. Go from 400-3,000. 3,000 is the highest they make at the stores near me anyway. Here's the thing-- sandpaper in these grits needs to be broken in. You read that right -- you have to break in and wear in the higher grits. Especially with 1,500 then 2,000 and finally 3,000 --- you want that 3,000 to be like leather by the time you're rubbing for a final polish. I have a little stack I keep around and I go from new-ish paper to a broken-in one, then onto the next grit. That's how you do it. 2 and 3,000 grit 3M can get you a killer ass polish if you keep the paper virgin from foreign particles. wash the paper off after working them hard & let dry overnight.

Dude, I never got any good polish from the ruge they include in the Dremel kits but maybe I was over -applying. I would spin my cotton bits in it and then go to town. I bought Zam and it's the best for silver, Gold, Brass and other things they use in jewelry. For polishing glass and gemstones, I have some compounds that are diamond polishing paste that go up to 100,000 grit

It's an A/C motor it will not run backwards but the case maybe on the hot side of power.

For real when you said, “we’ve got two legs “ I thought you were referring to your son. 😂 Just realized since the last video I watched that my Dad saved tool heads because his Papa, my great grandfather was a blacksmith, and my Dad was pretty much raised by his Papa. Loved his Papa. Whoo! Ok, I am all talked out today. Sorry to keep leaving so many comments, but you have a lot of great content. I’m glad I found your channel.

I hope you never question whether you should go ahead and make a video about something or not, because you have really good discernment. You never know what may help someone no matter how long ago it was. Btw, same thing with raising children. When I saw the wall of old tool heads it hit me like a ton of bricks. I am an innovative and creative person, but when I got into wire wrapping and heard about a jewelers steel block and hammer, I started honestly with a big rock. I sanded it down, sanded my hammer head and tried to learn what I could about what different types of wire would do when pounded. I tried the bottom of my heavy duty stainless steel pot. Dents are still there. But when my Dad passed away, I walked his ranch. Ultimately looking for my Dad. Seeing his little inventions and innovations and collections that made my Dad who he was. I found, in the corner of one of his sheep fields, what the other kids called a burial ground of tool heads. I’m the youngest of 10. I was the kid that followed my Dad around and carried his thermos. The last one at home, so I got to spend a lot of time with him. I helped them move to his retirement ranch from the family home. I remember him always saying that you can rebuild a tool either new wood any day, but the tool head cannot be replaced. Nor does it need to be. I have probably 15 pick axe heads, sledge hammer heads, axe heads, etc. somebody worked hard on that steel, my Dad found value in saving them. He would be proud to know that I just realized how I can use one for jewelry. I’m going to clean a sledge hammer head up and put it on my work bench. Brilliant. I can hear him now. “That’s my girl.”

Plenty of really great take-aways on this video. I really like the tip about using a straight pin to make room for wrapping. I have several tumbled stones, natural stones and all of them are irregular, of course. On your other video about iron-out… never heard if that, and it is brilliant. I have a little pile of tiny adorable crystals. I am trying to figure out how to make something with multiple tiny stones. I mean, God took the time to grow them, they have survived this whole time until I found them. The least I can do is make some lovely way to show them off. They do need that iron-out, though. I should have mentioned that on the other video, but.. better late than never.

I am a blast from your 4 years ago past. It was really helpful to me to see your problem solving on the decor phase where the weaving ended up looking like a serpent. That is great. I am binge watching your tutorials. I can very much relate to your comment about people that it comes naturally to feeling the wire and moving the wire so seemingly with no effort or question where the next wires go. With all of your new experience since 2020, would you agree that the brand of wire actually makes a huge difference? I am a rabbit hole person, and when I get interested in something, I am instantly gung-ho. I brdjzhhhħ some 10 gauge a month ago, and it was l

you should sell the pattern.

True art! ❤

So beautiful

Your Awesome! Love Your style.😊

As a young lad back in the 80's worked at an optical shop. We used to polish scratches off glass prescription lenses using a stationary wet stone that turned at very high RPM's.

Great job. Thanks for the tips and tricks.

I sanded with 600 - 800 - 1000 and finally 1500. I then used Novus 2 scratch remover with a paper towel to hand buff and it came out great.
