Shaping crepe or rubber soles with hand tools

[ScottEnglish]

I've just checked the thread I started and see there's several more posts. I'll respond to each one individually.

Aven: My first pair of shoes will be of moccasin construction. I won't be using lasts.

chrisash: Thanks for mentioning the lip knife. Some of the other respondents to this thread have also mentioned the suitability of this type of knife.

arashikage: I'm pleased you commented upon the rasp. I don't want to be buying tools needlessly.

HaloJones: Another knife user. Seems this is definitely the way to go then.

gmace99: Thanks for the water tip. That isn't something I would have thought of doing.

Thanks again to everyone.
