Omg. I came across your videos trying to figure out how to resole a pair of Doc Martins for myself. I fell in love. I met your family through these videos and found myself so hurt when I seen the last few seconds about your daughter. I'm so sorry for your loss. Please keep up the good work! If you can find a way to make a video a week you will take over youtube. Your amazing. Please put out more stuff!! Your the greatest!! Thank you for the knowledge.
I use my needle nose pliers to hold the iron nails. As you drive them in, you reposition the pliers to accommodate. This keeps hold of the nail, keeps your fingers out of the way, and also keeps the nails from bending over due to incorrect strike. Fits my style, maybe not yours, but might save some nails and definitely saves the fingers.
My batch of nails got wet and some of them rusted a little. The rusty nails were a whole lot easier to hold on to! Now I apply vinegar to a new batch of nails to put on a patina of rust.
Another outstanding video showing your amazing skills...thank you so much for the effort you put into making these boot building lessons. It certainly appears you all were having way too much fun on the water!
Thank you. Yes, my UA-cam videos are an excellent example of my teaching style, and the DVD set covers everything you need to know to build a pair of cowboy boots, only in order and without skipping parts. :)
Shoemaking, for me, has become a cruel hobby. I have whittled away at my lasts for 7 pairs of shoes, finally getting an absolutely perfect fit. I have no machines and stitch every stitch by hand. Now that I have perfect lasts I dare not subject my poor hands to yet another mangling! My last pair of shoes left me with a crick in my thumb, permanently, it seems. Maybe next winter I'll tape up, immobilize my bad thumb and try again. I saw Lisa was wearing a wrist brace, now I know why.

That is an excellent tip; thank you!

Thank you Lisa! Great video!
Great knife - I have seen them but had no idea what they were for. Thanks!
There was some pretty evil laughing coming from that boat!
Thanks for the great vid and info. Hope you and your family are doing well

Amazing work, and thank you, much appreciation for the awesome deck of cards! ♡
This is amazing. Do you cover this level of detail in your DVD?
I am sorry for the loss of your daughter.
Thank you.

It's more of an obsession than a hobby. :)
