Members amuckart Posted July 2, 2011 Members Report Posted July 2, 2011 What's your budget? If you've got the funds for it D.W. Frommer's books and DVDs are about the best information you can buy on making western boots. They ain't cheap though, but I've never heard anyone say they weren't worth every cent. http://bootmaker.com/mybooks.htm -- Al.

KAYAK45 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Posted July 2, 2011 Thanks guys. Just finished D.W.'s DVD for the second time. 27 hours!. Worth every CENT! Wish he had RANDEE do the tops segment just to break it up. HAHAHA. Really, what if you could see REES or GOLDING or the other dead guys, talking you through a pair of wellingtons! WOW.

Moderator Art Posted July 2, 2011 Moderator Report Posted July 2, 2011 It is a shame these guys don't know squat about video production. They get a friend who maybe does wedding videos or worse yet try and do it themselves. No runthrough to give the cameraman any idea of what is going to happen just shoot once and let the camera cover it the best it can. If they would demand the same quality of video that they demand of their boots, it would be nice. Well, rant off. I still liked the video. It makes the book a hell of a lot clearer. BTW, did you ever get your compact finisher? There was a good looking Sutton T2 up on eBay for $3800. Somebody in Louisiana had 2 Landis 400s for $500 for both.

KAYAK45 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Posted July 3, 2011 Thanks for the question, ART I missed the T2 by a couple hundred, but scored the old 450 for a couple hundred. It'l do for that price, for now! Once believed in GOD and the DOllAR...... Hello God!
Moderator Art Posted July 3, 2011 Moderator Report Posted July 3, 2011 Nothing wrong with a 450, except it's 11 feet long, but they run forever and are easy to fix. The T2s always bring a good price, but they are a sweet machine and worth it, and only 3 feet wide. Good luck with the Landis.

Do you have any idea how many years DW works on his tutorials before he puts them out? Tne clarity of the text, backed up by the phone support, far outweigh the video production. Old time value that proceeds and superceeds, the MTV Generation. A little more respect is due a Master Craftsman and Teacher. Rant Reply Off. Paul H.

I've looked through the whole site and couldn't see a price listed. Cheers, Adam
