Contributing Member Jordan Posted June 13, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted June 13, 2008 Thank you, I will be posting some more photos in a day or two of the rest of the steps I took to finish them. Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted June 14, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted June 14, 2008 I got industrious today and finished the sandals. I took alot of photos that I need to resize and put in some kind of sensible order with a little text but here they are. There are a few errors that I will work on with the next ones, most glaring is I need to wait to cut the sewing channels until everything is glued up and the edges sanded so they will line up. Not a problem with my last ones because I hand sewed them. I experimented a bit by melting beeswax into the bottoms and sides on these to see if the bottoms will wear a little longer, it did harden the bottoms quite a bit. Quote
Members TroyS Posted June 14, 2008 Members Report Posted June 14, 2008 Jordon, those are the coolest Jeruselum Cruisers I have ever seen! I'm all about the sandals/flip-flops! I hope you don't mind if I use your idea to make me a pair! Can't wait for the whole tutorial! Thanks for inspiring! Troy Quote Troy
Contributing Member Jordan Posted June 14, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted June 14, 2008 Thanks Troy and be my guest, These are my take on a variety of sandals I have seen or owned over the years. I am sure that others have made similar, so I can't really say that they are entirely original in style or construction. But having made them from scratch from my mind to leather I believe I have not stepped on anyones toes. (pun intended) I figure that if I post anything on this site and another leather nut wants to copy or use my ideas more power to them and I am flattered beyond measure. anyway I think thats why I post stuff to begin with, I enjoy the kudo's when something turns out well and need the helpful comments to do it better next time.LOL Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted June 14, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted June 14, 2008 I have resized the pics to 640x480 and will attempt to put them here in some order that makes sense without alot of text as I have not worked through that yet. I am pretty good verbally with instructions but written down I tend to ramble and generally suck. Quote

Contributing Member Jordan Posted June 14, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) And Viola' or is it walla! all done with my second pair. Oh wait this is a pic of my 1st pair cause I am to busy traipsing around in the new ones to take a pic. Hope this gives you all an idea of what goes into a pair of sandals. There are a bunch of little details that I am still figuring out as I go.... thats what I like about leather projects uh huh uh huh I like it! Enjoy. Sorry bout the horendouse feets but you gotta work with what you got. Edited June 14, 2008 by Jordan Quote
