Now to get all the bits punched. Hi HaloJones, Can you give a link to where you bought the brogueing tool? It looks quite a useful tool... I bet it saves lots of time Thanks alex Quote

Members HaloJones Posted October 25, 2019 Author Members Report Posted October 25, 2019 So put the uppers on the last only to realise that the heel cap was way too low down and that 70% of it would be cut off! so I un-picked the stitching & now to get some more of the thread used (the 30m I brought has just run out!) & try again..
