@JamesR -- Check your mail. Left you a copy. Not sure why you weren't able download. Seems to be working now though.

Thanks for all the work that went into providing the tutorial/pattern. I'm looking forward to making a pair! One thing I noticed (because I'm weird that way)... is page 9 missing? Not the physical page, but the numbered page 9. Don't want to miss anything important!

Thanks again!

What the heck did he do?

It has been exactly 105 days since the Tutorial was first available for download. Since then, 618 people have downloaded the tutorial, actually more like 608 -- I've downloaded 10 times myself because I can never find it on my hard drive. Let's just say over 600 downloads, and that makes this the all time best seller Flip Flops Tutorial in the history of Leatherworker.net! It's also the only Flips Flops Tutorial on Leatherworker.net. It has been read and re-read, pages flipped back and forth, and where the heck is page number 9????????????

There is no page number 9.

Right after I uploaded the tutorial and was stroking my ego and counting up the future Karma, then I noticed it...dammit!!! I hadn't renumbered the pages after a major reshuffle. Ordinarily that would not be a big deal, except I was sick of working on it and each page is a Gimp graphic file that has to be converted to a .jpg and then all the .jpgs assembled in Power Point then converted all together into a PDF...

Then I came up with a brilliant idea. Forget about it. I also bet my wife $25 nobody would notice, and if someone did, they would get an Editor Contest Prize. My wife was thrilled to be right and funded the award.

This is one time I'm happy to be wrong. Go back and read his comment. If anyone was going to catch this, it was gonna be Bob. Just goes to show you, that quirky trait of yours? You just never know -- you too might strike it rich.

Congratulations again Bob!!!!!

What is this witchery?!

I already printed the trophy as a poster and hung it over the fireplace, but I am very appreciative of the Gift Certificate. I think you're setting a dangerous precedent, Clyde!

Don't spend it all in one place. oh wait...

Ever wonder how artists come up with names for their creations and the source of their inspiration? They see just how ridiculous they can make something look after they've screwed it up. Then tack a name and inspiration source on it.

Here's a source for sole templates in every size, Men and Women. Note that these are "slim fit" templates, or "just fit" meaning there is very little room around your foot with this style. Adjust accordingly. Here's a template example.
