I want steel toed crocs but I can't buy them. That's a crime against humanity that I want to rectify. In this video I show how I developed wooden tooling that with a bit of refinement could be used to mass produce steel toe crocs.

These videos usually take 100+ hours of work and a lot of money in tools and materials. I've made a patreon if you're interested in supporting the creation of these projects: https://www.patreon.com/stuffmadehere
