Cutting the leather can be done in many ways. Previously, I'd been using a utility knife and big, high end fabric scissors.


You have some really crazy stuff man. Will be checking out the thread often.

I thought this was strange too..

Took this 5 minutes ago on my desk.
I guess my next step will be a round blade.

If you want durability, try hobnails. They'll stop the sole wearing out but I hope your town knapper has been vigilantly working the cobbles or you'll be arse up in no time. I regularly wear hobnail boots as part of WW1 uniform for commemorations and ceremonies, they are terrifying on modern surfaces like asphalt and concrete and do a good job of wrecking fine wooden flooring.


We actually had a town knapper up until the early 80's who would rough the granite cobbled streets with a lump hammer, chisel and goggles. It hasn't been done since then and it's quite common to see people slip up in the high street thanks to leather soles and wet cobbles now.

I FINALLY KNOW WHAT THE BEATLES ARE SAYING IN THAT ONE SONG

Thank you for this.

E: although the soap impression bit still throws me off.. But hey, 60s
