I'm headed to Portland tomorrow after work.  I'm spending four days in Jason's Internal Stitch Down Boot class.  This will be my third class I've taken with him.  Each class was so worth the time and the money.  I'm so looking forward to the boot class and the DVD when it comes out in a few months.  I have no qualms what so ever recommending his classes and/or the DVDs.  I have the turn shoe DVD and it really is like taking his class.  He's a great down to earth teacher who has been sewing shoes together for a long time.

Another source for books is Walrusshoe.com.  They carry a few different books: Shoe & Boot Designing Manual,  Bespoke Shoemaking,  How to Make Ugg Boots, The Manual, and Last Designing & Making Manual.   The Last book is on my list of  books I want/need.  They also carry a few lasts.  I don't know anything about their lasts other than what the website says.

Contact Jason, he will likely let you buy it at the deal.  He has been sending out updates as he gets more of the video work done.  Very professional for a small scale video. 

His classes are great too if anyone is interested.  His goal is simple shoemaking.

There maybe a light shining at the end of the tunnel.  The latest update from Calen on the Kickstarter site:

" We have preview versions of all 16 sections done! With english captions, sound mix, color correction, animations, music, and everything! It's just under 8 hours of finished video. They're all exported from Final Cut Pro and they're currently being transcoded to a web-stream friendly codec. It's been running for about 14 hours now, and probably has another 14 hours to go. Then we'll do one final quality check, make any changes, and the streaming version will be done! We will give everyone who pre-ordered the DVD access to the streaming version as soon as it is up. Next, we'll work on authoring the DVD and send those to print."

What do you mean by stitch down boot? Through the sole? Inside the uppers? I don’t know the lingo.

The upper is sewn together and then it's sewn to the sole.  A rubber, outer sole is glued on to the inner sole.   If you go to Jason's website, you can see the trailer he did for the instructional video.  You'll get a quick glimpse of the sole and the upper being sewn together.  Its was done as a nod to Twin Peaks.  http://laughingcrowe.com/       Its on the Shoemaking Classes home page. 

If you are interested in making shoes and can't make it out to Portland, there is shoemaking class in Chicago.  Its different, but it's closer to home than Portland.
