Those are FANTASTIC! Please tell me that you trained under a leather working master. I can't wait to see what else you have to offer. Quote
Members KenJWan Posted April 23, 2019 Author Members Report Posted April 23, 2019 Haha. No. I mostly did this myself, after researching on the internet. Got some help from a local boot maker when things got tougher. Quote
Members Handstitched Posted April 23, 2019 Members Report Posted April 23, 2019 Geez, talk about 'jumping in feet first ' ( < note the obvious pun !! ) My first leather project was a belt that I made an assortment of mistakes on. I sold it to a local customer...and it came back . The press studs fell off. How embarrassing . But they are awesome , well done HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

Members GregS Posted April 23, 2019 Members Report Posted April 23, 2019 Great job. I have no idea where to start on making boots. Quote

Members KenJWan Posted April 23, 2019 Author Members Report Posted April 23, 2019 Haha! Thanks! Honestly, I started with no expectation that I’d end up with something wearable. I bought larger pieces of “scrap” leather and used cheap buckles. There are mistakes which I expected to make and I did this to learn. Had to restart at one point due to an oversight. The fact I got something wearable was a bonus. Here’s some progress photos and me wearing them! Quote
Members Smartee Posted April 23, 2019 Members Report Posted April 23, 2019 Awesome! Can't wait to see your next project! Quote
Members GregS Posted April 23, 2019 Members Report Posted April 23, 2019 So where does one buy soles? Care to point to some resources that you found helpful? Quote
