Members Spider Posted September 9, 2008 Members Report Posted September 9, 2008 I LOVE THESE!!! I have been wanting to make some forever. What oz. leather do you use? These turned out great. Hey, How about using some of that fancy yoga mat that's been mentioned around here. Quote From the insane mind of SPIDER... http://spiderflesh.com Myspace: Spiderflesh Facebook: Spiderflesh George
Contributing Member Jordan Posted September 9, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted September 9, 2008 I used what was labeled 5/6wt for the foot pad and 10/11wt for the bottoms, all from the scrap table at the local Tandy, the thick stuff was labeled saddle skirting and I bought two 1/2" sandal buckles and two prepackaged bags of standard 1/2" x 70" (I think) strap. I did sand the straps down a bit on a belt sander to make them a little thinner and pliable. And the rest is history as they say I did post a bunch of photos of my last pair starting with a paper pattern through completion awhile back, I think it is in the other specialties section, but if you have any construction questions when making yours, I would be happy to assist in any way I can.
