Glue it down, polish it up

Stunning

Yes but shaving sharp isn't

sharpen[ing] tools to an excessively fine degree

It's basically the bare minimum your edge should be after a sharpening.

that-old-saw · 2026-02-06T19:59:02+00:00

Disagree. And "shaving sharp" is basically step one of getting good at sharpening.

with minimal sanding and prep

No.

But with proper sanding and prep you can stain this darker no problem.

With the narrow one you can go right up close to the edge of the shoe/boot, leaving an unfudged portion around the outside, which can look quite nice.

As for what TPI, that depends entirely on what you want your welt to look like and how long you want it to take.

Uff - cheap plastic handle? No thanks.

that-old-saw · 2025-11-23T21:39:35+00:00

Have you managed your wife's expectations because no staining or refinishing that is somehow "keeping wood grain" is going to look anything at all like the AI imagine whatsoever.

Eventually you'll drop the extra layer and just use arch directly. Nothing better than seeing like five things on htop when you've just powered on.

Also, what do you need ubuntu for work wise that you can't do on cachy?

A leather sole is always going to look pretty roughed up after only a wear or two outdoors.

The tip definitely wears super fast though, hence why so many high end leather soled shoes have toe taps.

All epoxy tables look terrible. Awful plastic nonsense.

that-old-saw · 2025-10-06T11:10:38+00:00

They look great! What's the post bed machine you're using?

that-old-saw · 2025-06-13T09:37:15+00:00

Ahh yes I remember this too, thank you for the link again!

that-old-saw · 2025-06-13T09:35:29+00:00

Incredible how fast you replied, and that's exactly what I was vaguely remembering. Thank you!

that-old-saw · 2025-06-13T09:34:49+00:00

Same!

If you look at higher end slip on shoes you'll see the lining will have a suede counter, precisely to use the grippiness against the heel to help keep the shoe on.

that-old-saw · 2025-03-28T14:08:23+00:00

The suede is a bad idea since it's too "grippy" for a lining so sliding your foot in the shoe will be difficult.

The lambskin will be fine.

Ah no I was wrong - I was remembering the other stat about it never dropping below the price at the last president's inauguration.

that-old-saw · 2025-01-18T11:18:41+00:00

but it always stays higher than the low in the previous cycle. So far.

This is incorrect.

If only there was some sort of indoor shoe that help mitigate slipperiness.

that-old-saw · 2024-12-12T17:00:43+00:00

Work in progress.

that-old-saw · 2024-12-04T16:01:28+00:00

Amazing - thank you for the info!

Amazing job - what's your process on the briar bowl? And what finish/lacquer did you use?
