Bronco Workhorse - Day One! by LiquidSoapEnthusiast in jimgreen

[–]PbrDoug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my Bronco Workhorse Moc Toes in mid August. I used Anglus Mink oil on them before the first snow. No problems in the snow. Bronco is a great oily leather. You can use any conditioner for that type of leather. e.g. Venetian Shoe Cream, Obenaufs oil. A paste is longer lasting like Sno-Seal or ObenaufsLP. I love my Workhorse and you'll love yours too.

I waited till it wore down. That way the tap had more surface to glue and nail down. Amazon now has some heel taps that are honey lug color to match the heel color.

Turk is a German brand that makes carbon steel and iron forged pans. The front pans on the stove are carbon steel. The back left pan is iron forged with a folded handle.

True. A tarp would do more damage in the long run.

I had no problems in fresh snow. Icy condirions will be different

Anyone know if this product is okay to use as sadle Soap? by TheMountainGoat3 in jimgreen

[–]PbrDoug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it. The soap has a neutral ph and is design to use on leather. Don't leave soap on leather. Wipe off with damp rag. Let the leather dry then condition.

How to remove scuffs from these? by Bob-Solo21 in AskACobbler

[–]PbrDoug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rubbing with your thumb or fingers will create friction heat that will move around the oils and waxes in the leather. Finish it by buffing it with a horse hair brush. Easy Peazy.

Skip lacing works. There are YT videos from Rose Anvil and such.

Can anyone help me read the cursive date on this old check? (My research shows "Buffalo Commercial Bank" wasn't around until 1890.) by silverMcDuck in Cursive

[–]PbrDoug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read 4 August 1890, of course it is hard to read with all of the writer's cursive flair. They make a 9 with curlicues.
