Finally gave in and put some rubber half soles on a couple pairs of shoes. The shoe finisher machine I have here needs a service, the motor has an issue starting up. Was going to wait until it was fixed but decided to make do.
First time in 4 1/2 years that I've done simple cobbling but it was quite nice to stretch those muscles again...would have been more enjoyable had I all the tools and materials necessary, literally cobbled together everything down to a large flat metal file to use as a hammer.
Then, it pissed down with rain, feel pretty smug I'd put the rubber sole on the Crockett&Jones now.
