Reply to comment by himmelundhoelle in There’s nothing like maintaining high-quality leather. I bought my Occidental tool bag setup last year and I expect these to last for a big portion of my career as an electrician by Reaching4ThoseGrapes

It’s cool no offense taken

Yeah that’s a tough one. My stool was not leather-grade for many years. Have you tried increasing your fiber intake? My father never has sold his logs previously but has handed it out to friends. He may be able to ship it overseas if you’re willing to cover shipping. I’ll DM you some photos. Shame your gf is so closed minded. From what you describe id love to get my hands on one of her logs.

Yeah we're working on my diet, might be stress too, idk -- anyway.

I thought more of having him do the shoes as a paid job ofc, never thought about handling someone else's feces myself (except my gf's but that's ok, kind of like using each other's toothbrush).

Don't judge her btw, tbh most people find it weird as fuck that someone would want to fish their logs out of the bowl, and I totally get it, in a way. Everyone has their peculiarities, and it's wise to respect your partner's. Yeah her shits are premium, I'm flattered for her btw, but hands off buddy, it's my girl -- and if I can barely see the goods, no chance you'll ever get your hands on them ;)

Truth is I'm not sure I'm willing to pay that much for getting a literal chunk of human shit mailed to me across the pond and all across Europe...

I really do appreciate the offer though, and I'd say yes weren't it for the prohibitive postage costs. I don't mind the pics if you have them on hand, though (pls don't trouble your dad for me), just to get an idea what to aim for.

Congrats on having refined your stool into a fine nourishing paste btw -- but why is your dad doing your leather, if I may ask, since you have achieved a seemingly honorable level yourself? I mean, if I could I'd do it myself!

Ah I understand. Ha! Sure I can send some pics of my dads poop your way. I know I have some photos of his heartier logs filed on my pc so when I get home tomorrow I’ll see what I can dig up for ya.

But ya I do my own leatherwork nowadays but my dad just does a way better job plus his poops are much better than mine. So sometimes on Christmas he’ll gift me a log or two or just do my entire belt. I hope to be as good as him one day

And hey man. I’m sorry if I crossed a line by complimenting your girlfriends poops. I didn’t mean to go that far. You got ya a good one that’s for sure. You better hurry up and put a ring on her finger!

Anyways, may god be with you on your quest!

Yeah, I get it, the old man's a veteran!

Dude please, it's the internet, don't sweat it. As I said we're (I mean I am, and she would be if she understood) more like flattered. I mean if another guy came to her and asked to cope a feel of her doodoo, I'd be less than pleased for sure. But we're strangers discussing on Reddit, there's no harm -- I put an emoji so it comes across as lighthearted, but you know, text format and conveying tone...

I'm lucky to have her for other reasons too, and you're also lucky to share this hobby with your father; like most people, mine doesn't really understand :/

Looking forward to the pics, and I hope you get the nice fat brown greasepencil you deserve for Christmas, kind sir!
