Sorry, if I said David, I mis-spoke. These were for a different fellow. Thanks for watching!

You can always put a bit of a wine cork in for missing cork, I have an example in one of my other videos!

Wow! That's a frustrating failure, and good to look out for!

Thank you! I hope I can get this girl past 99,999!

I've resupplied four times now! Send me a message on Etsy and we'll get your sandals fixed!

It must be a beautiful Jeep, then!

I only use Barge brand cement

It's a ton of fun!

Thanks!

It was the 4 on the tree that sold me...

I'd rather try to reuse as much as possible, and Birkenstocks really do shape to your feet, so it's worth it to most users

It does look nice, doesn't it? I'd be happy with Uranus, too...

Well, did I make them heavy duty?

Fair enough. What would you tackle first? Right now we're having the devil's own time sourcing a muffler! 😬

Thanks! It will be a journey of learning, and if it takes a lifetime, we'll save a lot on not buying other cars to save! 🤣

I use Barge brand contact cement

Thanks!

That's kinda where I ended up. I'm just collecting Out of Order now, and making my own custom watches

Thank you for watching!

As far as I know, this engine has never been out of this jeep

Maybe when I get some free time this summer...

I'm so glad! Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Birkenstocks shape themselves to your feet, so starting over with a new pair isn't as good as getting your existing sandals recrafted!

Awesome! I'm interested to hear what you know about this car...

@@DrPronghorn Not that much. I'm pretty sure I saw it several times parked on 33rd St.when I drove by though and I wondered if it was going to get restored

I meant l worked behind a 🍸bar !

Thank you for watching! The white Vibram soles were very sticky, but not as sticky as the siped boat shoes I've had in the past. I haven't been able to find that kind of sole for sale... yet!

Welcome! I don't think the chance of winning a Rolex is worth it...

Interesting! In the US, we seem to use a pronunciation closer to the French, as I'm just pronouncing it the way I hear my friends in the British car club say the name, and my father has always pronounced it that way, too, as far back as I can remember

I've heard about such tools... how does it work?

It’s two units one that you can hook up at one end of wires and another another end will tell you when you’ve got the correct wires at each end.

Hopefully she's quiet and regal! 🥰

I get just about everything from Summit. I believe that's where I got the kit

Thank you! Cheers!

I did, it was AMAZING!

I buy through Oregon Leather Co. You have to call to order or go in person, they don't have a web store

Thanks for watching!

I love an old Jeep for working on!

Good idea! Thanks!

I sold it for the amout I paid for it, so it worked out OK

I wish I knew. I know a lot of pieces fit across the two

@@DrPronghorn I ask because i want to mix wrangler yj and cj5 in one jeep. I like the look of cj5 body's side,and the yj front grill & dash.They are very beautiful.

I wish I knew

You might have to pull back the sole and re-glue it. It might require a new sole, but you could try heating it to 180 degrees F in an oven and gently pulling back the sole. I would put new contact cement on to glue everything hack together. Or you could send it to me!

I didn't get paid. And I don't subscribe anymore. I just wanted to document what I got in my two years.

I'm happy I made your day! It's fun to cobble, and I'm glad youtube is giving me the chance to do it!

Thank you!

I now use the oven to do it, it's faster and more consistent!

@@DrPronghornI just did my first sandal with heat gun and boy was it tough; that glue did NOT want to give up. Especially where it was stuck the leather. Eventually got it done but had to use razor knife to slice it there and then grind remainder with belt sander. Mind sharing details on oven use? Maybe I’ll try that for the other sandal and see if any easier. Thanks for the tips!

@@Phoeff99 The soles stick to real leather better than anything else. I like to put them in an oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93 Celsius) for about 20 minutes and then check on them. You might have to peel the soles partway back and put them back in. Don't use a food oven...

@@DrPronghorn thanksv for the directions I had read elsewhere 200° but I wasn’t sure about the timing. 20 minutes sounds reasonable and yes thank you for the warning about not using a food oven.

@@DrPronghorn so I finished my resole project and I’m pretty happy with the result. Thanks for you tips. Of course you learn as you go and next time it’ll be faster cleaner and better but i used Vibram Sierras stuck with Barge SuperStick and so far they are holding up well. A combination of trimming with bandsaw and razor knife then sanding with a little 1”‘belt sander did the trick. I also found that a layer or two of masking tape on the exposed leather and cork gave me bit of protection during sanding. I do wonder though having worn them whether I should have added an EVA layer between for extra cushion. The Sierras are pretty firm rubber and the cork is well compressed after two years of use…not much cushion anymore. You see any problem with that idea in the future?

I happen to be working on exactly that right now!

Gracias!

Thank you 👍

You're welcome! I wasn't sure how much interest there would be, so I made this one shorter. If it gets a lot of views, I'll do a longer one next year!

That's disappointing. I was happy with Platinum when I was doing it, but that was a couple of years ago now.

@@DrPronghorn I have gotten three from the platinum level so far and none of them have been worth the cost.
