Dr Karl’s How Things Work on ABC and ABC iview S2E6 – Dr Karl gets a real kick out of discovering how leather boots are made at a factory in South Australia.
Dr Karl takes a behind-the-scenes peek into how a sartorial superstar is made; the leather boot.
From first cut to final polish, making a leather boot from a single piece of leather requires over 80 individual processes. To kick things off, Dr Karl unpacks the chemical wizardry behind turning raw animal hide into leather at a tannery in Brisbane.
On the factory floor, Dr Karl uses a giant hydraulic stamp to cut his boot from leather before witnessing delicate sewing requiring great hand-eye coordination – and has a crack at it himself.
