Mike Craw Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Luke, What great looking mocs! Does the elk form to your foot, or is there some tie mechanism at the top to tighten them? I know you're supposed to use re-enactment gear, but those look too nice to wear outside the house! Mike Quote

Mike Thanks Mike.... the stiching that is over the instep enables the mock to fit the shape of your foot. after a period of wear they will fit like any other Mock. Quote
esantoro Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Luke, I love the pictures of your work space. The more pictures you post, the more questions I have about one thingamajig or another. How heavy is that mallet? I think I need one like that. Ed Quote
Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted January 25, 2008 Author Ambassador Report Posted January 25, 2008 Thank you.. it amazes me some times what i have accumlated over these good 30+ years........and still finding items i think i need. that mallet started out at a 2-3/4 x 4" it has been trimed down 2 times. Ed if i were you i would forgo the rawhide mallet, and find one of the older rawhide mauls. they are heavy and mine works better than the mallet. Quote
