So cool! That was a lot of fun to make, and its helpful to see what you're about to do before you do it.

Yeah. I think the turnshoe video will be perfect for her then!

The boot is a lot more versatile. That style of construction allows you to make almost any modern looking shoe, but cast from and fit to your actual foot. There are a lot of variations you can make with the turnshoe design, but with the internal-stitchdown boot technique you can make dance shoes, dress shoes, tall boots, pretty much anything.
It also gives you a lot of fundamentals for working with leather. Over thanksgiving my mom started working on some turnshoes and I applied what I learned from making the turnshoe video to make a sheath for my hatchet and my outdoor knife. I hope that helps!

Hi folks.
We have a kickstarter running to make a video that teaches you to make your own leather boots (or any shoe, once you understand the process) that is cast from your foot!

I was pretty amused by the low tech mailing

FYI, you get a HUGE discount on postage if you go the commercial route, then you only have one label with the address and postage to put on the envelope. This might explain why you guys have such a slow postal delivery too.
