YouTube video by TEI showing the making of moccasin toe derby shoes in Zonta calfskin
Notes
-
32:04 flap for hidden channel
- marks inward border with silver pen
- cuts with a very short leather knife, bevel down, not up
- cuts through the first peg under the heel seat
- seems to cut about one millimeter deep
- turns and pries up with a bone folder, lots of creaking and squeaking
- hammers the flap up
- c-clamp over the side of the bench for a heel press
-
43:33 interesting crosshatch Crow wheel pattern on the leather part of the top lift and forepart of outsole
- scores grooves a fixed width apart using a strong piece of plastic package tie and a scratch awl
- follows the lines with the crow wheel
