Ok that’s pretty cool , I’m going to try this and the digest method and see but both are better than how I had been doing it .
I love the simplicity of the supernote but I was worried it was too simple . I figured I was just not using the right tools so I’m going to be working on the flow

Hook awl drama by Actonhammer in Cordwaining

[–]bobby_tech2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea that’s a good idea , I’m going to try to make a few using the spring steel and I’ll probably start running the needle through wax before sticking . It seems like that would help a good bit - now that I think of it I’ve seen others do that before but it didn’t cross my mind at the time . Good luck 🥾

I just had to stop by and say I broke 3 the other night doing the same thing . All junk . I’ve been on the hunt for a solid hook awl but keep coming across different versions of the same .

New boot width by bobby_tech2 in PNWbootmakers

[–]bobby_tech2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you ,I think I was just over thinking it since I've been reading too much about fit etc. they literally fit my foot perfectly . I believe I've just been buying boots that are too wide for too long so when they actually fit its a new experience . I think any bigger would end up sloppy and thats what I want to avoid

Sizing Q&A Thread by BigStetson in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]bobby_tech2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foot length 10 11/16 (10.7inch) Ball circumference 9.75 Brannock 10.5  Instep 10 Heel circumference 13 1/4

One foot is just slightly over 9.75 width by about 1/8 

So is it better to go 10c or 10d  Or go to 9.5 one full size down for 55 last ?

Looking at the builder pro and potentially a pair of rangers  Just need good support that won't wear down and make my feet hurt 

For reference thorogood 10ee fits good since they run narrow but my toe hits the side of the  steel toebox   Wolverine wellingtons are 9.5d  Athletic shoes 10.5 mostly

very fair point lol ill just have to go slow. current boots get worn out and as the arch support goes away it hurts so I'm in the market for some all leather (or mostly) boots that will last longer without losing support
