KenJWan Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mean the nails? Reinforcement to hold side of vamp/heel cup to insole and half-sole to midsole. Edited July 27, 2020 by KenJWan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexOstacchini Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alaisiagae Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
