    Thank you so much for showing us all the machinery and the hand tools as well! As an antique dealer, I have come across some of the old hand tools and wondered about them. I was surprised over how many machines you actually had. I think the trimmers are my favorites.

    Hah! Great intro! 🤓 Thanks fo much for the tour. Watching so many boot and shoe repair videos over the years, I have always wondered about the array of machines and tools used. I truly appreciate the vintage aspects of everything, especially that ancient Landis stitcher and hand tools. You folks are keeping these traditions alive. Great video, mahalo! Happy weekend all! 🤙🥾👞

    Very interesting. I remember when I was a youngster back in the 1950's I always enjoyed watching our local cobbler working, he used a treadle stitching machine. I can still smell the leather and see the sheets where he had cut soles out of. None of the moulded rubber/plastic back then.

    My dad was a cobbler in the 40s too the 70s everything was hand finished zero machines i still have all his tools the closest thing to a machine was a punch for eyelets. The first time they had a buffer machine in the 50s it sat there for a year before anyone used it..

    Fun to compare equipment. After a lot of work, I have finally amassed the same lot of equipment and am just about to open up for business. I don't have a fudge wheel or edge burnishing irons, but higher on my list is a heel wheel. I'll have to settle for a tube nailer for a while. I do have a heel popper for removal though, at least. Thanks for helping inspire me to pursue this trade and keeping the dream alive!

My Uncle had an old treadle type leather sowing machine he used to repair harnesses and saddles - anything used for riding or working horses or mules. Always thought it was neat but he cautioned us we were not as tough as leather so be careful - you all do the same. Thanks for the great tour.

    Now I have a better idea what all the hand tools that my parents had in their Antique shop were for. One and two dollar items sold back in the 60s. Maybe 1 out of 10 old shops they bought had these items. Long gone now. Between 100 and 150 year old items from back when hand craftmanship was more common. You are keeping the craft alive and as long as people have feet, the need for quality footwear will be appreciated.
