This video is almost ten years old, but I only watched it through today, and really appreciate it. There's amazing variation in inseaming styles, even just judging by what's made it on UA-cam. Something amazing is going on with all the sharing happening worldwide.
Which awl from your site is the one you're using here? Not only does your method seem better from a practical/durability standpoint, it seems way easier too
OK, I thought this would be dumb but was really truly funny. Your daughter has great comedic timing. As a mother of two daughters....I laughed. Thanks for the inseaming tip.
Nice Lisa good to see you carve insoles this way, It's also how I was trained by my dad to carve insole for cowboy boots. I think it's a better method because the angle helps the leather wrap and slip around while lasting. It seems like the other method with the 90 degree cut is more suited for shoes. :)
RH, That's a good point. All of the shoemakers I know cut their insoles the other way, but I'd never thought about one method being better for boots and one being better for shoes.
Jaime, The awl doesn't enter the welt or the upper, it comes out the upper and the welt. In other words, the awl is always pushed through from the insole side, never from the welt side. So if you prepunch the holes as demonstrated in the video and make sure each hole comes out at the proper place on the insole, then the awl will follow through the upper also at the correct place. For the welt, the awl tip should enter the welt right where the skive starts and exit in the center of the stitching groove.
Hey lists love your videos!! Question tho, why not welt all the way around the boot meaning even around the heel? Then put the outer sole on and then the heel?

I like your method in the insole, thanks Lisa.

Thank you , and god bless you Lisa , this video is very helpful.
You're welcome! Now you know how to disguise yourself so you'll never be recognized. :)
Do you have a video that shows where the awls enters the welt? How about the where it enters the upper?

1.) That's not traditionally how cowboy boots are done. :)
2.) The reason for this is that a pegged shank is stronger and less flexible.
