    My Grandfather only wore wood shoes as long as I can remember. He would modify them a bit with leather nailed to the bottoms to increase wear, lessen noise, and add a bit of comfort. The thing I remember most is that he could also use them as self defense and had fun showing how he could launch them off his foot with deadly accuracy and hit a 5 inch target 10-15 feet away every time.

      Unrelated meaning, and not nearly as interesting, but when I first heard the phrase "shoot the works" it sounded like "shoed the works", and I thought of when I was 6 and my sneakers got caught in the escalator and it stopped it from working.

    My understanding (and I might be wrong) was that the fields of Holland were so wet that leather shoes rotted quickly, while wooden shoes didn't soak up as much water, lasted longer, and kept your feet drier. Also, wood is more readily available and cheaper.

    • @phoenixreborn1243
      @phoenixreborn1243 4 роки тому +19

While quite large, I'm hoping they give me more support and protect my feet from the cold of the concrete in my garage/shop. Roasted coffee for an order this morning and I haft say, they're quite comfortable. Going up stairs will take some getting used to, however!

    Perfect information on the wooden shoes. Thank you for sharing that.
    I live in Holland and i wear them too (in my spare time).
    Back in the days (like 40 years ago) the wooden shoe maker sold the wooden shoes out of the trunk of his car.
    If you bought a pair they where cut to a perfect personal fit using special tools like you did .
    Now a days you buy them in the store and the store keeper has no idee what to do if you ask to cut the wooden shoes to a perfect fit.
    In Holland wooden shoes are called "klompen", "klomp" (1) or "klompen" (2 or more).

    One small correction. Threaded pipe has the same o.d. because the fittings need to match the different schedules of pipe. One inch pipe, no matter what the schedule, can be threaded with a one inch pipe die.
    Schedule 40 or standard pipe has a larger i.d. than schedule 80. Just to make it interesting the pipe sizes are an approximation of the actual pipe size. Schedule 40 half inch pipe has a 5/8" i.d. and will just fit into 3/4" schedule 40.
    The standard sizing makes it ideal for shade tree mechanics and farm yard fabricators, like me, to build telescoping chain tighteners.

    Before we understood how the human decayed after death, there was the belief that corpses were climbing out of their coffins and feasting on their relatives. This is where the vampires myth started. One method of keeping the "Vampire" in its coffin was literally staking them into it. It didn't originally need to be wooden, but wood was easier to come by then steel stakes.

    For my timber frame dowels I used a Veritas 1 inch dowel maker from Lee Valley tools. I scrounged walnut scraps from a local moulding mill. For a 1" dowel the stock is ripped to 1 1/8" and chucked in a 1 1/8" square socket ( included in the kit) and driven through the twin blade jig. Worked perfectly, made hundreds of linear feet for the cost of the jig.

    i you start the dowel with a hand cut taper for about 2" it should give you a good starter to use in the water pipe. the problem with trying to hammer a square stock in is that it's going to want to follow the grain is it cuts and walks itself where ever it's going to go. with a starter taper it'll give it some guidance to stay put and straight as you hammer it in the rest of the way!

    The wear/wore a similar thing in Norther England, in the 19th and early 20th century. There was a lot of cotton mills up north and the folk who worked in the factories wore what they called clogs. The sole was made from wood made from Ash, Beech or Sycamore but the tops were made from leather, I think the might have had metal or rubber on the soles to protect them, and a metal cap at the toe to protect the toe.

    I recommend soaking them in boiled linseed oil-and letting them dry, off course-before wearing them.

    I use the same oil to take care of my Japanese white oak Katori Shinto Ryu gear.
    Really works wonders.

    Hello Cody,
    If u ever have cold feet, try filling ur wooden shoes with hay. It keeps blisters away and ur feet will be nice and warm.
    U can also add a leather band ( notice the holes in the sides) to keep the front of your feet from rubbing against the klomp.
    This also prevents your feet from sliding around in the klomp an makes walking alot easier. Thanks for this video, its nice to learn more about the old woodworking skills.

    Here's a great way to get a consistent curve with a file: start with the file perpendicular to the stock, front of the file down, handle up, and as you push through the stroke, rock the handle down and the front end up. A little more complicated when you also have a bevel like this, but nonetheless, it will help keep it round.

I just finished my first pair of shoes a week ago. I started it as a leather project and made English style Oxfords by hand. Have worn them to town and with a suit.

    In the north part of Spain we also have wood shoes pretty similar to yours, but we have other kind of design for the sole. Check it if you are interested they are call MADREÑAS and often are used to work in the farm or garden. Recommend to be worn with thick wool socks.

    my dad was a carpenter. From memory he had two tools for making it. one was similar to what you just made, the other was a tapered hole in a steel plate with a diameter a bit smaller than the first tool. So that even if the cutter tool remove to much at some point because of the grain, the wood would then be compressed round. Hope that help

    You should try making your own doweling plane (rounders) . I just used some nice sharp irons from an old plane, I made a block like the the one in the link, I drill the size hole i wanted in the middle of the block ,i then carved a cone shaped entrance on one side and then angled a old plane iron like a pencil sharpener to the cone, I used a saw to make the slot for the iron, so the tip of the iron was just on the edge of the hole i put a bolt with a wing nut to tighten the iron.
    Could be a fun project for you.

    I live an hour South of Holland Michigan, so a couple of years ago I went there and bought everyone a pair of wooden clogs. The kids don't wear theirs but they are used for St. Nichols day on December 6th. I wear felt clogs with cork souls most of the time. Hoeflingers. I wear my wooden clogs whenever I have to stand all day. I am going to use them in the wood shop from now on. Wearing wool socks helps with cushion. I do wood working, pottery, knitting and painting. I don't like cooking, laundry, house work or gardening. I do like home repairs and yard work.

  • @douglasyoung927

    Dowels are made by drawing rounded off stock through a series of graduated Mortise holes. It works best to drill a hole most of the way through a 3/8 inch steel plate then take a burnishing rod and raising a burr on the remaining material so that it sort of cuts the wood as you draw it. I've made a set of perfectly staight arrows in this way with minimal effort.

    The wooden shoes you have are quite similar to the ones made in drenthe , the netherlands ( they're typically covering most of the top of your foot) , there are also wooden shoes from the province of friesland that have cut out more of the top and use a leather strap across the top of your foot and are better for walking . Warm feet and no sweat when worn with wool socks.

    I bought a pair of 'clogs', with a wooden sole and a leather upper, in Holland about twenty-five years ago. I'm now on my second pair. I use them instead of slippers around the house. They felt weird, to begin with. Once you get accustomed to them, they are super comfortable.

    A good idea, you are indeed onto something. It's not just the leatherpunch maker's idea, but basically any smith or jeweler is familiar with the concept of drawing wire, which is that same process.... Of course hot metal is more malleable than wood, so you need a sharper hole.... Your draw knife is working fine, but if you are worried about taking off too much material then make another jig that you can go through first (like wire drawing requires going through progressively smaller diameters).

    only one thing.... i love your 'klompen' ( woodenshoes) but you made a statement that Scandinavia use them or develops the style or something like that hahahahah one Holland( only a small part of The netherlands) is not a part of Scandinavia. believe me i am a Dutch man living in Scandinavia ;D and also nobody made ther own shoos in The Netherlands, because the old technique is quiet a art, nowadays they use a copy machine to chissel them out, you probably bought them on the Zaanse Schans, if so then you were correct that you were in Holland. they are comfortable aint they? a hint is to put an steel or leather band around them right under where you go in, this way they last longer. wel keep your videos coming and ignore those 'chairknow it all' with there negativity, just do what you do best, love to see more of your axe building stuf too, greetings from Norway or in dutch Doei!

    Another idea for making dowels: Home made lathe using an old drill mounted to a jig so you can have a center point on the other side of the piece. Once spinning, use a wood rasp to rough shape and sandpaper to finish.
