Members Leatherimages Posted March 7, 2013 Members Report Posted March 7, 2013 Well for the first pair ever made, you sure do show mastery of some very difficult techniques! And you must have access to some pretty specific machinery too. Very admirable. Paul Quote Back to the bench, Paul "When you finally get your wings, don't complain about the wind in your face."
Members BorisVanJr Posted March 9, 2013 Author Members Report Posted March 9, 2013 Thank you wery much Paul. I am glad that you like it! The most important (special) thing in shoe making, is shoe last, all another can be replaced with casual tools. Without shoe last, you can't be able to do something good (oun experience). I dont think that this, machine that i have, is too specific, right now i got a new one, like this. All you need (special) for this machines is leather needles. The most important thing that you need, is wish and imagination. Shoemaking, its just one of mine hobbies. as i sad before i working now on second pare of shoes, it will be the same "hi tech" style shoes with similar construction and i will take more detailed pictures of all process i will do.

Members mikesmith648 Posted March 9, 2013 Members Report Posted March 9, 2013 Isn't putting a LOWA emblem on something a patent infringement?? Quote Emergency Room Nurse by profession.......Leatherworker at heart!! Hoping to reverse the order in that one of these days!!
Members BorisVanJr Posted March 10, 2013 Author Members Report Posted March 10, 2013 Isn't putting a LOWA emblem on something a patent infringement?? Yes, from a certain point of view. For example, if i will make something for own use i can put any kind of logo, as a commercial, i need pay for patent rights. I used this LOWA logo, because i did not found the solution for my own logo, but i found it and my second pair of shoes, will carry it! Quote
Members Leatherimages Posted March 10, 2013 Members Report Posted March 10, 2013 Surly you would needed a post machine to do the heel area, or even around the eyelet section, as that would never lay flat for stitching on a table machine such as you've shown? I would also think a roller would be the only way to get such a nice stitch, instead of using that walking foot. Are you sure you don't have on of those?

Members BorisVanJr Posted March 11, 2013 Author Members Report Posted March 11, 2013 Are you sure you don't have on of those? Off course i have not. I did not realise how good those shoes will be, thats why i did not take almoust any pictures of it in process. Those photos on video, is all i got. Quote
