The Making of Wooden Shoes

[TheRyuHi13]

Wow, this is great! I plan on making a costume for something soon and I need to craft a pair of shoes for it, was leaning towards wood for part of them because I figured it would hold up well to what I'm going to do to it, I think I've made the right choice for at least part of the materials...(I know it won't be easy to do, and I've accepted that. I also am planning on spending a good portion of time on them though.)

[Korneliskunst]

There are two factories in Holland making large numbers of wooden shoes.

"klompen" in dutch.

Just google klompen

[1loveOFmusic]

I like those shoes, can they be found online?

[Wolfrsmv]

i shame me for my county at 4:37 everyone outlander thinks dutchies wears wooden shoes. The next one consider asking me if i wear wooden shoes i strangle with a tulip

[mealdates]

Thanks for sharing that.

[19simba42]

Ah, and you think that you can earn your bread with it in this "modern" world?

[19simba42]

Sorry, I am a movie maker, not an expert on the subjects. When humid, willow wood is well to work on. Maybe there are other sorts of wood than can be used as well.

[HunterMann]

@19simba42 I am a movie maker and would prefer making wooden shoes than the stressful job of working in the motion picture industry.

[ShaolinDeadlyGamers]

Does it have to be willow wood? Does Cherry split like that? That wood is like BUTTAH

[krelis42]

Ik heb ook een film over de machinale fabricage gemaakt.

[lalunette]

Leuk video hoor !!

I used to work in a klompen fabriek back in the early eighties and we used machinery to shape the outer and inner shapes & various sizes but someone still had to carve the rough outer shape using a bandsaw.

[VTwanderer]

What is the name of that large knife attached to the log? I would love to know more about it, it looks like it would be useful for many things.

[krelis42]

@VTwanderer "Paalmes" is the name in Dutch. It could be translated as pole knife.

[HunterMann]

@VTwanderer It looks like a log peeling(or drawing) knife. It's a blade used for peeling the bark off of logs. It looks like it was adapted for shaping wood in the workshop.

[joealanouf]

[5311ATB]

@joealanouf

yes, they are but it takes some getting used to wearing them. And you really can't compare the ones made for tourists with the proper ones made for actual use.

[valledefiladelfia]

Beautiful video! I was able to show my six-year old boy how this shoes are made, por his school project. Thank you!

[sfknns]

[joealanouf]

[smeerjam92]

KLOMPEN!

[dagmar1991]

I don't think that I'll ever be able to do that, no matter how long I try.

It is so relaxing to watch! I wish the craft lives forever!

Thank you for posting!

[ciapistess]

May I ask which type of wood is used ?

I see it is very easy to work, and it should be very ligth to wear ...

[19simba42]

The wooden shoes are made from willow wood, which is water saturated before working with it.

I am not and expert on this subject, I am a movie maker

[ilovesimspets]

poplar wood (: i bought some and it came with an info sheet!

[Nightmar33333]

Dude... I live in Canada but grew up in a old Dutch family... I haven't wore wooden shoes sense i was like 7 lol I miss them.

[esaloca16]

i didnt under stand you can you say it in english the only word i know is fantastich! doesnt that mean fantastic

[19simba42]

Ha.. what a misunderstanding by me......

I translate: I am pleased to notice that you are happy. At the moment I work on a documentary film about old Amersfoort (a historical town in the centre of the country) Today I made a presentation movie for an artist. You will find another couple of my short movies if you search for radio batavia (or use my YouTube screen name "19simba42"

Where do you live?

Greetings Cees

[esalocita16]

[LaBellaa1984]

[mariaitzamara]

wow how much do they cost?? i want some so baddddd

[19simba42]

I have no idea how much wooden shoes cost these days.

But it is sure that in those souvenir shops they are to expensive. It is better to buy them in the same places where the farmers and other country folk buys them

[esaloca16]

oh im mariaitzamaria im just in my sisters youtube account cuz i lost my password so i was the one who asked you {wow how much do they cost?? i want some so baddddd} so you still make them if you do could i have some or one pair plz i love those shoes

[19simba42]

Het doet me een genoegen je blij te zien. Op het ogenblik werk ik aan een documentaire over oud Amersfoort.

Vandaag heb ik presentatiefilmje voor een beeldend kunstenaar gemaakt. Als je radio batavia intikt ie je nog een paar filmjes van mij.

[19simba42]

thank you

[Lovegear]

are they any comfortable??? Just wondering...

But no matter yes or no, this was awsome! Great crafting skills

[19simba42]

As a young boy I wore them all the time when I was at my grandfather's farm. The clumps are very comfortable and you never have wet feet.

[acegio1234]

thats pretty cool
