Probably because it's some delicious craftsmanship? 😁
Ok, shoemaking is not my passion, but watching this gentleman manipulate bits of hide into an incredibly fine pair of boots (100% a boot guy here) is a sight to behold.
So grab a coffee, sit back and relax, then enjoy..
What is that cutting surface he is using. i hope he makes more than £5 a day
Oh goodness! This made me a bit teary by the end. The amount of work he puts in, to make just one pair of boots - amazing. Every single step is perfection. I think it was the tiny finishing details that really finished me in the end - I had to wipe my eyes a bit, especially when they showed the shiny, glossy, gorgeous finished boots at the end (just the same shot as at the beginning, when my brain said, "Yeah, hand made boots. Quite nice." - and at the end? "WOW!!" He has other videos. I may be some time...
OMG! I'm in love! This guy is so talented! I didn't know you could wet skive. Wow! This video makes me so emotional. He has really got it together. He must wear the same thing every day because this video must have taken 3 months. Did you see his shoes! Thank you for showing this.
Yes, I too, have experienced a physical reaction to this video. Being a gentleman, I shouldn't elaborate. Suffice it to say, I've just found my next account to follow on IG.
There are crafters and there are crafters.
But this...
This is not even a different league, it's a different sport.
