Now thats a fucking post! Lmao. Very nice shoes sir. "Perfect" i would say. I hear ya loud and clear.

LOL. Thank you my friend!

I use to deliver pizzas to an old school shoe shop, pretty interesting place "cash only" :).

Yup, I remember from my childhood these old shoemaker workshops. I loved the smell of leather and glue and specially the ambience of these old craftsmen's places. There are still a few of these places in Vienna, Austria. But the shoes are not affordable. Up to $ 5,000 for a pair...

Nice! Yeah this place had a good smell :) and atmosphere. $5000? Yeah i cant wear shoes unless there that much :D j/k. Probably worth every penny.

Yes, it is somewhat a sad thing. What once was a normal thing, quality shoes hand made to size for the regular folks has now become a luxury item for the filthy rich only. The gojm can run around in cheap synthetic concoctions made by slaves somewhere in China. I would not pay upwards of $3,000 for a pair of custom shoes either. That's one more reason for me to make them myself :)

Yes, truly an amazing skill you have! Makes me want to time travel lol.

The shoes are beautiful, @herrleeb. A work of art. I want to make my own shoes someday, or have shoes made for me. Not this go to the store and buy them business. Shoes that were made well and made for my feet. I have been thinking that copying my moccasins wouldn't be that hard. I just need to find the time to do it, like so many other things.

Thank you for taking the pictures of the process and for the walk through.

Before I go, do you enjoy reading? I have a suggestion is all. I've mentioned it a few times before to others on here, maybe you've seen. I don't believe I've mentioned it to you, I apologize for repeating if I have, but do you know the book Jewish Eugenics, by John Glad? It was one that provided me many answers to questions I've had about so much that is going on. It helped me understand some of the maybe why for several things we can see being normalized. And why so much of the mad science.

Since your shoes are done, maybe you'd like a good read.

Thank you so much for your nice comment! Making shoes is a nice distraction from the madness going on in the world. It is also nice to create something with your own hands, something that can be of use.

The title of your books has already two words in it I despise. One of them is Eugenics. I am sure it is an interesting read and maybe I take a look, but honestly I already know more about our foreskin hating Best Friends Forever than I care to know. And nothing is good. Everything wrong in the world has on the top one of these God's chosen ones. From banking to media to satanic cults to governments. It is just too disgusting to dig deeper. And the worst thing is that they are now blatantly taken over and speaking out about them gets heavily censored and also criminalized.
I can only hope that I kick the bucket before these creeps are able to read my mind, because that would not be to my benefit :)
Cheers!

I do sometimes wish it had a different title.

It was the artwork which first caught my eye at a library book sale. After flipping through I had to buy it. And then it sat on the shelf unread. When I joined Steemit I took a picture of myself with the intention of posting it as proof that I was a human (that was big back then) but then I decided I didn't have the time to get into something like this how I'd planned. Looking at the picture while considering it all, I saw in it, on the bookshelf behind me, Jewish Eugenics. I took it down and I started reading it. It offered me a whole other perspective that I had not considered and ever since then I have been trying to get people to read it. I think it holds a lot of keys to understanding the why of the madness of today.

Like @maxigan says, I think we need to step into our humanity to get out of this mess. I see an opportunity to stop the ride if only people might consider a different approach to the problem.

If you do read the book I would love to hear your thoughts on it. You can read it on the site I linked to before, personally I dislike reading much on screens. I have bought several copies used online and I know there are more out there. My physical copy of the book is stuffed with papers and post it flags.

What a fabulous talent you have, but I hope you won't use those shoes very soon...

Haha, this is going to be my luckiest day ever, I am ready to put them on anytime :) Thanks for your comment, highly appreciated!

Quick, find someone on the street and say "you" and teach him everything you know about making shoes. We need shoemakers, they're a dying br... ehem. They're hard to come by these days! Stay well, pass on your skills, those shoes are beautiful! @ironshield

Thanks mate! Very kind of you!

OMFG you turned kicking the bucket into a wonderful fun post packed full with truth, my only regret is I upvoted this only 50 % before reading it, otherwise this was f-cking bang on 100% worth of value, keep smiling my friend and as my father probably would have said, had I been old enough to remember him, "don't let the bastards get you down"

Thank you so much my friend. Your nice comment means much more to me than a few pennies.
As we get older we find out that true value has nothing to do with money. This is what the f@cking cabal will never know. But WE do. And THAT makes us superior to them, they can NEVER get us down to their level. They should choke on all their money, power and foreskins they stole from other people. We win in spirit.

Wait until you get a load of my post later today lol, I have a feeling sir may well laugh his head off and love it.

One of my favorites...

Crest fallen sidekick in an old cafe
never slept with a dream before he had to go away
there's a bell in the tower
Uncle Ray bought a round
don't worry about the army
in the cold cold ground
now don't be a cry baby
when there's wood in the shed
there's a bird in the chimmney
and a stone in my bed
when the road's washed out
they pass the bottle around
and wait in the arms
of the cold cold ground
cold cold ground
there's a ribbon in the willow
and a tire swing rope
and a briar patch of berries
takin over the slope
the cat'll sleep in the mailbox
and we'll never go to town
til we bury every dream in
the cold cold ground
cold cold ground
gimme a Winchester rifle and a whole box of shells
blow the roof off the goat barn
let it roll down the hill
the piano is firewood
times square is a dream
I find we'll lay down together in the cold cold ground
cold cold ground
cold cold ground
call the cops on the Breedloves
bring a bible and a rope
and a whole box of rebel
and a bar of soap
make a pile of trunk tires
and burn 'em all down
bring a dollar with you baby
in the cold cold ground
cold cold ground
take a weathervane rooster
throw rocks at his head
stop talking to the neighbors
til we all go dead
beware of my temper
and the dog that I've found
break all the windows in the
cold cold ground
cold cold ground

I understand completely what you're saying..
But damn you will look nice when the big day arrives!
You are talented there, djeez don't know if you do, but I think you should make some more and sell them, they look good!

Thank you!
I'm afraid I don't have it in me to please customers. So I better make them for my own pleasure only :)

Lol, that may actually be a good thing .. you dont dit the system lol :)

Well yes! I think there were times when people did what they did because they loved what they did, and did it for people they knew or loved.
This is how I want to live the rest of my life.
Doing ANYTHING for people you don't know just for some f@cking money is where the corruption begins. I refuse to participate in this dirty game :)

Yes doing things for others because you like to do so is nothing bad, but working for a slave drivers company is.. I am "lucky" to be able to focus on my youngest daughter, and write (yes from home not for a company) while my boyfriend is still (unfortunately) working for a boss (and often feels like a slave)...

WAIT! WAIT! We're all getting ahead of ourselves, here. As one of the dozen or so people on here I routinely communicate with - one of my friends - I'd like to say to hang in there, @herrleeb. You're well respected on this site, and from the looks of things, that is also true in your real life. So, I encourage you to give it a bit longer, brother.

The game is not lost - as a matter of fact, I truly believe we are gaining ground, exposing facts, growing our followings. Europe's youth is rising up in Generation Identity, and the momentum is with us, even the older among us.

With that being said, you've a real talent - and you'll be well appointed as you transcend into the afterlife. Though, I say you look into the Norse Gods and don't worry about hell at all!

YOU are one of the leaders that others will look to if shit kicks off. So put those masterpieces in storage and get out your shit-stompers - wouldn't it be nice to really put the boot to the enemy before you go?

LOL, that is very kind of you my friend, highly appreciated. Don't worry, I'm still hanging in there. I am spitting into their satanic soup wherever I can :)
Either way we will win, because these a$$holes don't know what honesty, friendship, dignity and compassion is. It is THEIR life which is not worth living. They will go to hell with all their money and power without ever getting a piece of what is really precious in life. We do :)

Glad to know, @herrleeb. We'll give em hell. Nothing makes people more angry than finding out they've been lied to. And, when enough people find out how many lies there are and just how long it has gone on, well... wouldn't wanna be in their shoes ><

Your post gave me some fond memories of my youth, and 'Jimmy the Shoemaker' around the corner from where I lived. The odor of the leather, glue, polish and feet all blended into a single 'new' fragrance returned to mind and my 'olfactory' senses...

He was a kind man who put up with me and my friends hanging around, asking too many questions. Jimmy gave us a broom to sweep the floor, and get us out of his hair. At lunch time, we'd show up to run an errand for him (going to the Deli to get him a sandwich) Our pay were the pennies we got for returning his empty soda bottles, for the refund.

Beautiful looking dead-man shoes, @herrleeb ... you'll have the devil himself envious of those custom flappers...

Thank you my friend! Yup, I was also fascinated by the atmosphere and smell of these old shoemaker workshops when I was a child. Good days...

Yes...they were...
