Velociraptor were basically large turkeys. 25kg is actually on the heavy side all told. The ones in Jurassic Park were modelled on other raptor species. In reality, Utahraptors are probably closet to what is portrayed in the film!

Indeed. a Utah Raptor is what the ones in the movie were based on; a Velociraptor is closer to what the movies showed as the compsognathus; it was about 1.8 meters *LONG* (as in: nose to tail tip), but only about a foot and a half tall, hence the light weight. A Utahraptor, for comparison, was about 1.5 meters *tall*, and 6 meters long, and weighed somewhere around 500 kilos.

Just for accuracy, Jurassic Park velociraptors were based off Deinonychus.

That was Fun. Love the tour of the park. Looking forward to seeing the next one with your car. It's great to see you in other parts of your life. Love your interactions with your friends.

I’ve missed your videos! Smashing job as always 👏👌

Thanks Dan for letting me live vicariously

Thank you. Great show on a father's day😊

Just BINGED watched these vids---I had a flood---ground floor duplex in an old brownstone, too close to the Hudson---and was certain about ten grand worth of footwear was destroyed forever---After I watched I few of these vids and saw what you guys can do, I realized that they were absolutely salvageable and found a reputable shoemaker who restored all of them---extraordinary---not prohibitively expensive either---also made a 30 year old pair of loafers look almost new...

What a fantastic Sunday surprise 😊😊😊 a Dan video!!!

Nice to see a specific video on toe plates. If you like the word Lulu and maybe a theme tune for when you are fitting them, the Fats Waller song Lulu's Back in Town, it will be on youtube somewhere.

Velociraptors were about the size of a large turkey, the monsters in Jurassic Park were made up by Steven Spielberg, but a species was discovered shortly after the filming that was named Utahraptor and is similar in size to Spielberg's vision.

Awesome!! Was looking out for a new episode. Thanks Dan.

Dan! Great to end Sunday with your company and a cuppa, mate

Great stuff! Would love a video on metal heels tips as I'm pretty heavy on my heels and tend to wear them down first! 😅

Metal toe plates and a metal shirt. Dig it!

Love seeing your work. Keep up your top quality good work🎉

Ron would have really been afraid of the dinosaurs, I'm glad you didn't bring him along to the park.haha😁

Yeah google was correct on that one Velociraptors were essentially the size of a large wolf and they believe they did hunt in packs to bring down other larger dinosaurs so they'd still be quite dangerous but probably wouldn't have looked very menacing on a movie screen if they showed their actual size

Ahh Annabelle Red Bull Formula 1 jumper you call it , Speaking of F-1 I’m going to Las Vegas for the First F-1 Race By Caesars Palace , 🤙🏾

Fun fact: velociraptors were highly likely feathered. This serves as evidence of how birds are essentially modern-day dinosaurs. As for the online class, I don't think it's necessary considering how your channel is already highly informative. I have learned so much about shoes from just watching you work.

She's a keeper, Dan.

As a Texan, I appreciate the nod to our Tyrannosaurus Tex!

I know this is weird, but the asmr of him putting the glove on was amazing.

Nice, and on Father's day.

If you've got problems (grip, pain) with your precision screwdriver I can only suggest getting the iFixit Marlin Screwdriver Set or Driver Kit Set (Available in different sizes). Those are way more comfortable than the generic ones.

Wera do some really nice precision screwdrivers also or you could try some optical stainless Steel ones with ball bearing spinners. The I fix is a good suggestion as you have multiple size options.

Hello Dan!! Joe from Ft Lauderdale, FL, USA. Recently found your channel and now I am stuck!! Not only are you a talented cobbler but your gorgeous to look at!! Good Luck with all your endeavours!! Also LOVE your new car!!!

Cool here in Nova Scotia. BTW how are the kitties? Welcome back Dan.

Por fin, otro video, que bien

Having done it at home, the hard part for the home gamer is grinding the tap down to a smooth edge. I used an aluminum file and then a dremel, but it's still a bear.

Fun Fact..One early automotive tire actually had some lettering for tread so it would leave behind its name wherever it went but was more of a novelty. It would be a hoot if a replacement heel sole had dinosaur print do it look like you were being followed by one or even an animal print as well. Once an inventive thieves made forms for there boots to look like they were being left by the cows they were stealing as if they just walked away...😀

Sad to hear about the cobbler school, but fantastic video. I really enjoyed the music!

Gorgeous 😍

Great video - as usual. As for the weight of this dinosaur. Maybe it's the ancestor of birds, and birds have light bones, so I think this dinosaur is light.

Hey Dan the cobbler man, have you considered using a skiving knife, rather than a utility knife, to cut the toe plate recess in leather soles?

Sound only in right ear when you talk Dan !

Thank you for the video. Very interesting. You are the double of Bear Grylls... or do I need 👓

I understand the premise behind a toe plate but I don't believe I've ever seen a pair of shoes with a worn toe, seen loads with the sole worn right through and the welting worn off but never the toe.

Go Redbull!!

So the screws fasten into the welt of the shoe?

Now we know why Anabelle crossed the road ! Also: makes you wonder if the dinosaur leather in it's prime would be suitable for making shoes ?

Is this young lady related to the guy from Project Air Channel? Good video.

Are we going to get more of the Dan workout videos in the near future?

Great video Dan, but there was one thing missing......your catchphrase, so ill say it for you "Let's get sticky" 😂😂 p.s. how is the new house/home, are you all settled in?

Very nice do like your auntie very nice 😂😂😂👍

Dan - charge for your Lulu toeplates repair please?

Not sure how much a velociraptors weighs but the friend is very cute.

The Velociraptors of the movie are actually deinonychus but I was hard to pronounce so in 1993 they were left as Velociraptors

Hi my friend

At last!!

I should have waited, my bad!

Great video... just add though, Lulu are no more. That style of toe plate is made by a firm called Au Lion now..... still French though. Easy to make your own more elegant versions out of brass plate though. ... and it's super cheap.

Do people get metal toe plates for the sound?

What about timber floorboards……..????

You clearly love the gym 💪 You work well, shoemaking is also a nice job if you have a sense for it The Russian-style long military boots were very fashionable here under the communist regime, but they were also durable in the front part of the nose and in the back part of the heel, they were also ironed until about the middle of the 60s

Jurassic park over did the V raptors for dramatic effect. Sorry!

I want that shirt 🫠

They were smaller....Raptors were more like a large chicken. 25-40kg

Does Annabelle have her own KZread channel question? Mark if not you need to feature her just a little bit more in your videosespecially since She is not your sister or wife

I love the idea that random people give you, a professional, tips on how to do your job 🤣🤣🤣

I know nothing about dinosaurs so I'm guessing 30kilos?

dad's jokes...

velociraptors really were small like a dog. The movies needed to make them bigger...could you imagine Jurassic Park with a baby dinosaur as one of the main stars. Just wouldn't work.

Oof mate, you need to get yourself a set of Precision Screwdrivers, those kind are horrible to use! You can get decent set off for like $15 on A m a z o n (had to spell it like that or else it wouldn't post my comment) that have normal full sized handles. 👍👍 You could also snap the spinning piece off of the back of those kind of screwdriver so you can stick them in your drill driver. I've done it before lol.

is gaining 100 pounds of muscle a requirement for becoming a cobbler

Annabelle seems quite nice and you should be kinder to her.

I wish you would work in a tidy fashion, a small pot on the bench that any offcuts, old tacks, etc, can be placed into for disposal.

Luckily it’s me doing the work so I can work how I like ☺️

jurassic park lied. velociraptor was just a little guy. the later discovered Utah Raptor is closer to what they have in jurassic park.

I'm guessing between 250 and 350 KG for a Raptor.

Stop being mean to Annibell

You do not have to guess about the weight of dinosaurs, my mother in law weigh approx 70kg.

It’s maybe just me, but toe plates look butt ugly! Not on my shoes regardless of them protecting my shoes or not…

Dan, who are you talking to, cos your not looking at us!!!

your wife's sister is very beautiful

Dan, every time I see you using those tiny little screwdrivers it makes my hands hurt in sympathy! Take some of that KZread money and get yourself a better screwdriver! For those M2 screws, I believe you will be looking for a PH1 phillips driver. I would suggest something with a larger/thicker handle so you get better torque and better control over just how tight you are making them. It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive, just something that fills your hand more. The whole point of those skinny little screwdrivers you have now is to limit how hard you can twist so you don't over-tighten delicate little screws in a laptop, phone, or something like that. For what you are doing, they are just making your life more difficult! Oh, and if you are going to do Annabelle dirty like that, you've got to give her a chance to clap back! If she is nice enough to put up with your dinosaur dad-jokes, you owe her at least that much.

Is Annabelle your girlfriend Dan you talk so mean to her treat her nice she's 😍🌹

What do you call a blind dinosaur? A Thinkhesaurus. gay Dino? Megasaurass. Lesbian Dino? Lickalottapus.
