Craftsmanship 101

Greg Sullivan and Gerard Vanderleun share their love of  well-
made, well-worn, and well-repaired work boots  - here and here.

"One of life's many small pleasures is the pleasure that comes
from a pair of fine shoes or boots once they are perfectly
broken in. One of life's many small problems is that by the
time the perfectly broken in state is reached with most shoes
and boots those items of footwear are just about worn out."



















"As society gets more complicated, people become farther
removed from the physical production of anything. They often
get the same thrill I get when they encounter someone that can
do something with their head, heart, and hands really well."
