  1. So I put soles on & took the shoes off the last, the results were not as I hoped, the shoes has come up very wide, but I know where I went wrong & will try again (photo shows unfinished shoe as I would normally trim the lining at the top & dye the sole & heel)
  2. You could try using craft foam sheets to make a boot on the last, cutting and adding to get the style you want, the cut the foam off lay flat & there is the start of a pattern
  3. Now that is a nice looking bag!
  4. Have you a photo of the finished bag?
  5. Nice contrast on pattern & colours
  6. Thanks Rocky, some food for thought
  7. I have been thinking about printing moulds for wet forming, a couple of questions if you don’t mind; filament or resin printer? what infill % did you use on the base block? how thick is the top section of the mould? if filament printed what did you do to stop any print pattern forming on the wet leather? TIA
  8. You can get Liquid or stick on rubber spots (seen them on the soles of house socks) which could be intergrated in to a pattern?
  9. No but I like the name!
  10. Greetings from the soft South of England just to warn you leatherwork is addictive, but oh so much fun!
  11. I tried one, not as effective as glue & you still have the possibility of the tape being seen the same way as glue
  12. Heel cap moved up & upper & liner lasted, now for the sole
  13. Nice design, about 2 days to late for me! just got a pattern from dieselpunk! i too love the contrast stitching
  14. Do you have any idea of they type of cement / glue used?
  15. So put the uppers on the last only to realise that the heel cap was way too low down and that 70% of it would be cut off! so I un-picked the stitching & now to get some more of the thread used (the 30m I brought has just run out!) & try again..
  16. Thickness is personal preference really, but the 2 layers on this one feels nice, in that it’s not over thick, yet strong enough not to stretch, I was able to only need 1 hole as it was the last thing I did, this I put it on my wrist fully assembled & marked where it needed to go
  17. Uppers & liners sewn together - ready for lasting
  18. Toe & front section sewn together & lined
  19. Rear section of the upper is complete: heel cap & liner stitched on, lacing eyelets fixed Liner is over-sized on the sides as it will be sewn to the front section upper liner, the excess liner at the top is used to give a fixing point to the last.
  20. Can you trim the cord & tie it back on itself?
