Very nice work! Where did you get the thread? I have a customer who wants glow in dark thread and I can’t find anything bigger than Tex 40. -
FACE MASKS 101
airplaneguy replied to Ferg's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Hats off to you Ferg. I wish more people would take this serious. I just finished 10 mask this morning bringing my total up to 60. I have given away every one I have made and I have not received any help buying material. Wearing a mask protects everyone from you as well as protecting you from everyone. I personally think it is selfish for people not wear one. It is the least they can do to help heal our country. Ferg I don’t think I will ever catch up to how many you have made and I would like to say THANK YOU for your hard work! -
That is very sad news. If anyone needs a glove repaired, I do them. I have been doing glove repairs and relacing for about 7-8 years.

Sounds good to me. Hope to hear from you in a couple of months.

First Attempt at Bootmaking
airplaneguy replied to airplaneguy's topic in Shoes, Boots, Sandals and Moccassins
Thanks Smartee and kiwican. The leather is just scrap I had laying around the shop. It is 2-3 oz. upholstery leather. The lining is glazed pig and the heel counter is 8-9 oz. tooling leather. -
First Attempt at Bootmaking
airplaneguy replied to airplaneguy's topic in Shoes, Boots, Sandals and Moccassins
More pictures. I had to make new vamps because I messed one up. I didn’t have enough of the brown leather so I had to go with a different color. Making boots is way harder than I expected. First picture is the lining sewn to the upper panel. Second picture is the boot turned right side out. The third picture is the boot sitting on a last. Not sure why the pictures are sideways. -
Here are a few pictures of my boot pieces. Hopefully I can finish them soon. I need to sew the tops together and then see the uppers to the tops once they dry on the crimp boards. There are a lot of steps and time that go into making a pair of boots.
