Another outstanding technical video on improving the boot construction process. Thanks! Oh, yeah swinging from the ceiling rafters is also a very effective and unique approach previously unexpected by most other boot makers. Way to go Lisa.
People. Indeed. Like your sweatshirt! And I don't know how many times I have gotten to a point in a project and said "Hey Joe. I really wish I hadn't done that. Knew better..." Good leather can be a bit spendy...
Oh goodness, I look back and realize I've made a mistake all the time. I've learned to WAIT when I have a difficult project or when I screw up and don't know how to fix it. If I'll wait the answer usually comes, but if I press ahead immediately it just gets worse. And I like my shirt too! :)

How do you customize your lasts? I just don't get that whole process. You have a customer come in, measure their feet and then what?
