Members Matt S Posted January 31, 2014 Members Report Posted January 31, 2014 Lekker work, ox! I'm scheming on making myself a pair of those. What are the uppers made from? Looks like a roughout oil tannage of some sort. I'm having trouble getting a decent pair of lasts, what did you use? Quote
Members Hennie Posted January 31, 2014 Author Members Report Posted January 31, 2014 Tyre sandals.docHi All. Bob. I live in Uvongo on the South coast. The Zulu stile sandals is most probably made of motorbike tires. (will add a photo).Do you also originate from South Africa? John j. If you promise never to tel a sole I will send you a patron if you send me your email address. Matt S. I use cow hide. and i particular Crazy Horse the culored piece is also cow hide 2.3 mm thick. I was so lucky to get a full range of lasts. From a small no 2 to a large no 13 . Bought it from a family who sold it after the old man had passed away. Had one no 4 and one no 5. But I made the other ones myself in order to have a pair of each. I also use Natural tanned Leather and stain them afterwards if so required. Have a great weekend. Friendly Greetings.

Members vadmer Posted May 3, 2014 Members Report Posted May 3, 2014 Lyk baie goed Hennie. Wil ook nog eendag weer daai vellie-ding probeer. Het in Laerskool ons eie velle gelooi, ons eie leuse gemaak en dan on eie vellies gemaak. Was deel van ons houtwerk klas in die Plaasskool. Quote
