Cool sandals . Thank you.

Bless you. I spent many hours with my daughters on repurposing projects. The materials that are wasted in the US is staggering. We would dumperster dive for materials and go to thrift shopsand yard sales. My girls are adults and they furnish their homes, kitchens and cars with used parts. By doing these projects as kids they sew, paint, sand and metal work. They get by on very little money. They think going to a shopping mall is a complete waste of time & money.

No matter how busy a man may be, he should always try to find time for projects like this with his daughter. (Son, too, but girls really need the male point of view on things to balance what their moms teach.) I did these kinds of things with my daughter and she gained skills that today benefit her immensely for home & auto fix-up and maint, and general knowledge of tools, their use, and generally how things work.

In a free country, people have the right not to be thrifty if they don’t want to be. But you’re right as God’s children we should use our resources very wisely.

You can get inexpensive nylon or polypropylene trick line or braided rope that braids well and you can link it with a small key ring or large hog ring (which has plenty of other uses)in the middle. It's waterproof, won't mold and can be easily repaired with more line or by tying simple knots. You can hose them off and scrub them with any soap to keep things clean. Dry them outside in the shade and they'll last until the rubber sole rots away. And then you always have a few feet of strong line with you. also, the next pair you make you can get just the tread without the cord and steel belt layers underneath so you don't have to use power tools to cut through them. Make a cut with a razor knife across the tread on an old tire. Have a helper grab the rubber inside the cut you just made and start peeling it back. As they peel back, keep cutting underneath the tread to release more of it. No cords to contend with as they are left in the carcass of the tire and you still get the long-wearing rubber of the tread. Bonus points if you can find an old bus or big truck tire. A little harder to cut, but the composition of that rubber means the soles might outlast you. Downside is the sole won't be as stiff, but it's easier to make and you can shape them with a razor knife. A bit of contact cement also means you can resole boots and shoes with tire treads.

I’m gonna make a pair

Nice got to make a pair for my wife she goes through shoes fast

👍👍😊

Thank you. I a planning to make some too, though different style. So far I cut the tire manually, which works as long as I sharpened the knive often during to the process. I will start with gluing the sole onto existing shoes and go from there. I am a bit concerned about the weight of the tires. Did she found it to be a problem?

Cool vid. The only thing I would have added to the process would be to heat them up in the oven and form a little arch support and flatten out the toe. Otherwise, a job well done.

I'm happy to hear your daughter calls you papa! Children do need to be taught respect. I believe in that wholeheartedly! I just think it should be more personal within the family unit. Before I went into foster care at age 8, I had my mom, but not my dad. Growing up in foster care was, for the most part, abusive and cold. Not that all are that way, but when I saw her call you sir, it just gave me shivers. Sorry that I don't completely understand the south. I never knew about the sir/ mam stuff.
