Lisa takes a last making class in England, a shoe making class in Oregon where she hand stitches soles for the first time, and Bill Shanor demonstrates attaching a waxed end to a curved needle
Just wanted to thank you for doing these videos again. I really enjoy watching them. I can only imagine how much time you put into them. You probably fell like there isn't much else to show but to me it would not matter, I am so inspired by your work. It is a real treat to see a skilled artist work with the materials put befor them.
Very nice video Lisa, outstanding techniques especially the sole stitching with the delicate awl. Thanks so much. The UK has such an outstanding legacy of hand made lasts and footwear.
Lisa great instructional video. I have a pair of cowboy boots that I want to resole with leather soles. Can you tell me what size/type of thread and needle you are using in the video? Thanks, Bob
Lovely shoes you made with Bill. Did you wind up with grinners on your lap pair? When I took that class with Bill, my second shoe wound up with grinners in a small section. Thank you for the videos. They’re lovely. In memory of your daughter.
I'm glad you enjoy the videos. I didn't have a problem with grinning stitches, but I've been inseaming a very long time. I just had to do it with different tools at Bill's!
