Awesome is a term not usually associated with my homemade shoes, excentric maybe, according to my wife and children. I discovered that shoemaking was essentially a lost art, thus another quest. I bought lots of fifty year old tools, dusty old books, sewing machines, shoe lasts and some leather. Once again, after lots of trial an error and many protypes, I became a reasonable facsimile of a cobbler. Making a Kindle cover pales in comparison to the instant gratification I get from taking raw materials and making myself a pair of shoes. Regardless, it's just another diversion from my real job!
