    Geez...I hate to do this...I'm not ordinarily a word nazi, but "cobbler?" no. Correctly I am a "cordwainer." Meaning I make boots and/or shoes--full time for the last 35 years..

    There has been literally centuries of antagonism between makers (cordwainers) and repairmen (cobblers). Going back to the 12th century at least. Not necessarily fist fights or anything like that but enough so that makers take particular pride in being cordwainers and not being cobblers.

    Doc,

    Thanks.
