  • The Hovercraft History Hunters are back with a bang, as they take out their new Hovercraft out for the first time hunting for Historical items on the Lower Thames River. Joined by the British Hovercraft Company, the crews have a look and have a laugh at what out ancestors left behind.

    The sole is a male adult half sole -from the rounded heel to the straight edge of the forward part of the arch. This was a common repair to a worn heel or in some new shoes, a second layer of leather added to the heel/arch of the sole to add rigidity to the shoe.

    • @Sifinds
      @Sifinds  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cool. Didn’t think of that

    • @virginiaphillips3946
      @virginiaphillips3946 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The soles of a lot of medieval turnshoes from the 14th century were seamed at the "waist" or the narrowest part of the sole. There are many finds with two-part soles in the archaeological record, even without repairs or added leather.

  • @pattimessenger6214
    @pattimessenger6214 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    The frame is cool. Maybe make another with a picture of the derelict boats lined up at Hoo Fort. They were beautiful in a sad way.

    Simon,
    That was indeed a fun day since no ordinance was hurt in the making of this Vlog.
    I was a Custom picture framer/ restorer etc for almost forty years and I love your take on a shadow box, that wood is awesome.
    The light blue board really enhanced the finds, but I would have created a sandy ,pebbly board and sealed it with Acrylic Gel medium as
    background for the objects, reminiscent of their resting place for so many years, just a thought.:)

  • @kathleenlynch5763

    You guys are so lucky to be able to muck around on these old forts, boats etc. Here in Australia, the 'nanny state' that we live under would have erected monumental barbed wire fences around it all. Nice job on the up-cycling and it's always a pleasure to see the chickens. Cheers Si.

    Brilliant lark ! What a day out. He's a geezer playing with that mortar shell, not to mention hovercraft fun . It brought back memories of growing up in Penarth, skimming the mud flats between Penarth and Cardiff, then walking home stinking dirty.In the 1970s they tried a hovercraft ferry idea but it didn't last sadly ..Oh how I wish someone would come up with a hoverchair as replacement for wheelchairs, so I could get out properly again.
