i wasnt expecting that tour of tring but that was a treat. absolutely beautiful town. looks like a modern day fairy tale village. btw i couldn't put my finger on it but i kept feeling a certain kind of way while watching your videos and i just realized now what it is - nostalgia. i grew up and live in south-east asia (the philippines specifically) and when i was much younger (im in my mid 30s now), we used to have cobblers ply their trade by shouting "shoes! umbrellas!" in our streets. they would have their tools and kit with them and would repair shoes, umbrellas, belts, bags, and really any leather goods right then and there, and us kids playing outside in the streets, we would all watch in fascination as they did their stuff. it's a very fond childhood memory and i feel a little bit sad that these street cobblers are practically gone now. their singsong voices were a fixture in many happy sunny afternoons. i'm relieved though that this trade is well and alive in other parts of the world, so thank you for sharing that with us. also those soles on the red wings look so comfortable - and hey, great singing! cheers! (and sorry for the long comment).

I have bought 1 brand for about 10 years, and I am barely through my 2nd pair. Redwings are nice, I hear. Wouldn't work for me, as I run around far too much and it would not make much sense to use them. Awesome content, btw.

That sewing machine just looks like a monster to operate. It just reminds me of my mother who worked for a Levi Factory many years ago sewing the back pockets onto jeans. It was pretty fast-paced and the sewing machines were all operated with a pulley system so they never really shut off between pockets. A moment of losing her attention and she managed to sew right through her finger before she managed to shut off her machine. Bottom line, never lose your attention around that thing.

Everything looks great. If I owned those moccasins though, I would have asked you to just stitch the midsole on and glue the crepe. That would be a solid reinforcement for the shoes, and then they would never need to have holes punched through the foot bed again from stitching new soles. Just glue on replacement crepe as needed. I think the glue is plenty to hold those on. 🤷♂️
