your grandfather said " you dont want wet feet or a cold shoulder" keep in mind in his days people really cared about how other people perceived them. people were taught the importance of honor and truths and trust. if you got " the cold shoulder " you lost their trust and every chance to fix that .

Since my first paying job, I have always considered how many hours I must work in order to pay for something. It's a crazy habit that has led me to better financial decisions and less buyer's remorse.

I apply a heavy coat of paste bee's wax to my suede work boots, then bake them in my oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes. The heat opens the pores in the leather and melts the wax for a deep penetration. This way I only have to apply the wax once a season. This way was taught to me by a family friend when I was a kid, It works great every time.

One of my favorite things I used to do for my husband was washing his fatigues and shining his shoes. I started starched all of his fatigues and iron them exactly the way the Air Force required. I love the smell of the shoeshine and using that kit for shining his black leather shoes! Those were some of the great times of our life together! My husband was stationed in Mountain Home Air Force Base Idaho. We were so young. This is also when I took up running before it was fashionable for women to do. I just developed a joy inside of me and it was peaceful running around this small town. My love of running might be like Mrs.W. Only difference is she is much better than I was. I never kept track of how far I ran. I don’t think I ever shared this with my husband at that time. But it was just as much fun as taking care of my husband and me staying home and we started our young family in this Military place. Just like memories of your grandad. I have very vivid memories of my life in a safe place. Life seemed so simple and no worries...Thank you for a simple ways to take care of leather for keeping things reserved for future generations. And way more affordable with simple steps. The extra money could be spent on getting the extra food we might need in an emergency! Food for thought folks! 👍

I love snow seal. That stuff is by far the best leather waterproofing there is. Of course it's good to know that it will darken your leather quite a bit.

“Calceus = Dress shoe or shoe/boot” It’s a word from Ancient Rome.

I’ve made my own. Neats foot oil or mineral oil is a great mix with pure beeswax. 50/50 does great for most things I think. Mineral oil for the kitchen wood and neats foot for outdoors tools

I use Obenaufs on everything.

Boots. Sheaths. Throw some in the beard... Hand cream during winter. Honestly never had smoother hands during a Prairie winter since I started doing that.

Be careful around the belt holes and boot eyelets. You don't wanna make the leather so soft it stretches and pulls out in those spots.

I like how you always bring up your pop in the videos, i just restored my great grandfathers wood shed, it was in bad shape but i finally got the money to bring it back to life, most people would of tore it down but its special to me, just a spot to hang and light the woodstove with the boys now

I've been a leathersmith for 40 years. I started at 13 when I needed a left handed knife sheath. I used an old pair of cowboy boots and my dad's collection of leather working tools. He taught high school woodshop, metalshop and leather working fell in the middle somehow. I still have and use his tools.
Neetsfoot oil has always been my go to but I'm going to pick up some Obenauf's and give it a try. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and God bless.

I just realized that we haven’t seen the tractor in a while, did you have to send it back?

[nicholasricardo]

15:41 I would warn that it depends what kind of leather your gloves are made of will affect what happens to them if you oil them. Cowhide, goat hide, elk, moose, and bison are all tough wearing leathers, so they will work well, whereas pigskin, carpincho, any suede, lambskin, peccary, or sheepskin are naturally soft and will be ruined by oils.

I wish it would rain here on eastern Australia. We're in serious serious drought and have fires burning all down the coast.
Please pray for us and all the poor animals

Leather grease mixed with beeswax is all you need. Every now and then I mix in some pine tar to prevent rot. A rag and water is all I use for cleaning. I do t about once a week at least depending on the weather.

Love this video. I bought a good horsehair shoe brush over 40 year ago and stilluse it today. I also ended up with my grandad's brush when he passed away. That brush is probably at leasr 80 years old. Nothing better for buffing leather shoes.

[mikehood]

You should try mink oil. It works really well for weatherproofing. It does need to be reapplied about once a week if you are working out in the wet constantly

[brianCuda]

Thank you Cody, I use Obenauf's too on my boots, with mixed results. Have not found better yet still looking. I used to use Sno-seal and I liked it.

Used to watch my dad shine his cowboy boots before church all the time, back when I was younger.

[badjaeaux]

Thank you Obenauf's for being real generous 🎄🎅🦌☃️

[lauraweiss]

Great video. I’m a leather crafter and a huge fan of mink oil. Preserves, hydrates and provides water resistance (and it smells good too!)
