    Moccasin last stand/jack

    by Carverdw

    Can anyone advise where I can get a last jack used for making moccasins? They appear to be different from a regular last stand as the last is mounted in an upright position to aid in sewing. I would appreciate any information on where to get one or plans for making.

    Amazing Video 1 2 3 4

    by Sheilajeanne

    This is how you do it when you don't have fancy tools! It was especially interesting to see him using a miniature metal hook, similar to a crochet hook, to both punch holes and sew the layers of the sandals together! He must have very strong hands, and that hook must be really sharp on the end! https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=320176276730786 Edit: does anyone know how he applied the decorative pattern to the shoes? The video doesn't show that part.

    Uppers made of thick chrome-tanned leather 1 2

    by ScottEnglish

    Hello again. The thickest leather that I've used so far for making uppers was about 2.5mm. It stretched excessively during use. I don't want to line my footwear to prevent excessive stretching, so intend using thicker leather in future. Has anyone made uppers using thick chrome-tanned leather? Thanks. Scott

    Hi. Other than chrome-tanned cowhide and chrome-tanned bison or buffalo leather, is there any other leather suitable for making unlined footwear? Thanks. Scott

    GH Leathers, UK

    by ScottEnglish

    Hi. Has anyone bought leather from GH Leathers? So far I've bought leather from J Wood Leathers and Metropolitan Leather. I've had good and bad leather from both of them. I thought I might try GH Leathers this time. Thanks. Scott
