Contributing Member Jordan Posted April 13, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted April 13, 2008 I have to dig out their catalog, where did I stash it oh yea on the botom of the stack LOL thanks. Birk's would be high class, the envy of all. I picked up the right length straps today and am going to start sewing them together tomorrow. Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted April 13, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted April 13, 2008 For the soles, why not go to a tire store and see if they'll give you a used tire? Or a flat? Jig or band saw should cut it nicely, then it's glue time. Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."

Contributing Member Jordan Posted April 15, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted April 15, 2008 One down one to go, really fits nice, a little olive oil to soften them up and I may not get any blisters, makes you feet smell like a Greek Salad! Quote
Members Myriam Posted April 15, 2008 Members Report Posted April 15, 2008 I've been following your progress on these. Nice work! Had always wondered how they were made. Now I know! Quote Myriam Myriam's Leather Work Dakota Braiding and Leatherwork
Kevin King Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 That is just down right COOL! A sandal with a built in watch! I want a pair! All kidding aside. Looks like a very professional job, I am very impressed. KK Quote The second kick from a jackass is of no educational value. Official Freak Fan Club President FACEBOOK kevinkingleather.com
Contributing Member Jordan Posted April 16, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted April 16, 2008 Finished sewing, still need some edge treatment and olive oil/sunlight to darken. I think they may be a good seller this summer. Quote
Members Myriam Posted April 16, 2008 Members Report Posted April 16, 2008 I agree indeed. They look real cool and from what I see on the straps, I think the olive oil is going to give them a really nice color. Good work, Jordan! Quote Myriam Myriam's Leather Work Dakota Braiding and Leatherwork
