Members KenJWan Posted July 24, 2020 Members Report Posted July 24, 2020 This is my fourth leather project and fourth pair of boots. Each time has incorporated new techniques and tweaks. So far, I’m the most pleased with these. Quote
Members Scoutmom103 Posted July 24, 2020 Members Report Posted July 24, 2020 Those looks nice. What machines did you use to make these? Quote
Members JayEhl Posted July 24, 2020 Members Report Posted July 24, 2020 Gosh, this your 4th project? These look awesome! What's on the bottom of the soles? And what are they used for? Quote
Members Bert51 Posted July 24, 2020 Members Report Posted July 24, 2020 Nice, very nice, the owner would walk tall in those lovely boots. Bert. Quote
Members AzShooter Posted July 25, 2020 Members Report Posted July 25, 2020 Most excellent work. Owner will be proud. Quote

The only really good machine is a post-bed Adler leather sewing machine. Otherwise, a hydraulic sole press, a MacKay stitcher, and sanding/buffing machine. Hand cut pattern that I designed, hand lasted, hand channeled insoles, hand welted, etc. Quote

Members KenJWan Posted July 27, 2020 Author Members Report Posted July 27, 2020 Rocking the boots I made Quote
Members AlexOstacchini Posted July 29, 2020 Members Report Posted July 29, 2020 Very tidy work. I always think clean designs like this are very unforgiving, in that mistakes really stick out, but this is excellent. Fourth project you say? Wow. Great Stuff Quote
Members Eric51767 Posted July 30, 2020 Members Report Posted July 30, 2020 Those look awesome! Did you have a pattern? Quote

Members battlemunky Posted July 31, 2020 Members Report Posted July 31, 2020 Those are quite excellent. Super clean work! Quote
Members Alaisiagae Posted August 1, 2020 Members Report Posted August 1, 2020 Wow, nice boots! Those look so professionally done that I could mistake them for something I'd see in an up-scale store. Quote
Members scrapyarddog Posted August 3, 2020 Members Report Posted August 3, 2020 Darn! I have been thinking about shoemaking and for a fourth project, this is amazing. Quote
