Making Birkenstocks Except they're Coasters

► TOOLS & MATERIALS: www.buckleguy....
► PATTERNS: corterleather....
I had an idea to put soles on the bottom of leather coasters, and I wear Birkenstocks...so here we are! To avoid any trademark issues, I want to be very clear I misspelled Birkenstock on purpose and these are NOT for sale, ever.
Anywho, that little circle die really pulled it's weight in this project. Buckleguy also sells a whole slew of precut coaster sets if you check out that first link - this turned out to be a super fun and quirky project, a great one to make as a gift if you have an birk/boot lovers in your life or want to get a little experience gluing soles to leather or cork. No stitching is required on these but the new Dunmore thread looks so nice I think it really adds a nice touch. Happy Crafting :)

What's the break-in time before they hold the glass properly?

[@online247365]

Why not punch out the outsole material and then glue it to the leather/cork part? Wouldn't this be much easier?

[@Corter]

it would! Learned that in this video hahaha

[@hndrwn]

Now i have insatiable desire to build my own cork-leather shoes and sandal 😂

[@hndrwn]

Buckle guys should sell ready to craft outsoles!

[@designated_hitter_EGA]

@@hndrwn Ghey! 🤡

[@djrdonelly]

Anyone else think they looked like those digestive biscuits when they were cutout..?

[@bowthemaker]

Now you need to make socks for the drinks!

[@Corter]

Oh. my. god. hahahahhaa wool koozies!

[@waterhawkoutdoors769]

Where did you get the sole material from?

[@cjgrandjean]

Mis-spell birkenstock to avoid lawsuit. The get lawsuit from Hermès instead 🙈

[@УльвгейрСедогрив]

Hi, I would like to ask you about the usage of this сoasters. Аre there any problems with hot drinks? Will the leather be spoiled, if we use hot drinks?

[@jenkins1979]

While making these coasters after gluing the cork to the leather ,I set it aside to dry after rolling out .Did you have a problem with glue soaking through or a sweating? I set it leather down to dry and when I picked it up the face of leather was wet . Thank you for advise

[@MrDizzle715]

Now that’s something I’d like to make. I just made the ugliest coaster set but my wife likes it.

[@MuhammadAlam-ne9cf]

omfg bro u gotta grease that roller that screeching is incredible how can you stand it

[@eileencollins8799]

[@sandraramirez3206]

What site did you go to order the Birkenstocks sole panel I went to there site typed in for a sheet it kept just showing shoes please let me know I want to order some and the cork 1:37

[@LaniakeaLeathercrafts]

These would totally kill in some markets!

[@grabtharandhishammer8251]

what about putting some wax on the inside of the die? Might make the release easier

[@ableaquariums5480]

What about glue cost and thread cost. It has to add up.

[@hoelwiesner710]

This is such a silly and fun project. Love the creativity and final product.

[@reinaldomiguelfigueiredo2565]

Boa tarde qual o valor

[@tazo1jd]

would you teach us how you hand stich ?

[@bbrachman]

This is the definition of a 'Visual Pun'. Who would recognize the pattern on the sole if they didn't 1) work on Birkenstocks or 2) be a big fan of the brand. Eric, I admire you cleverness with the metal shim under the press to finish the cut. Leatherwork = Problem solving.

[@jenkins1979]

I have hearing issues and I couldn't hear where you got the white material for coasters and where did you buy them?.Thanks for sharing the video.

[@jenkins1979]

What weight was the leather

[@mjh1]

Awesome! I keep noticing your watches lately - you should do a video on them! I'm sure others are curious too..

[@rick98765]

These are so simple and awesome! Good opportunity to work on my cutting skills by hand without messing up too much leather.

[@tomaszmay5474]

Fajny projekt. Gdzie kupujesz skórę?

[@KW-Houston]

Sooooo cool!!

[@MultiFish]

So cool! I’ve found a supplier near me here in NZ so gonna give it a go!

[@lacklustre222]

Where did you find the sole material?! Love this

[@toddkamuf6814]

Awesome, thanks for sharing

[@davebolthouse3989]

[@Smajtastic]

Gosh that roller s going through me, drop some oil into it?

[@russelljones3171]

[@dannifl6329]

[@FunDumb]

[@SubhamKumar-vc2ue]

[@romanfederyuk9704]

Yeasir

[@jordandoucet6887]

This is an awesome idea!

[@Gooseman0325]

Bros gonna add a cease and desist order to his collection

[@markburgess4528]

Maybe add the word 'style' after the word would help.

[@Corter]

[@designated_hitter_EGA]

[@jenkins1979]
