    Cowboy Boots

    She is still teaching, but looking to sell her shop. Just students for now, but she said she’s done next spring at the latest, earlier if she gets a buyer for her tools and inventory.

    Cowboy Boots

    Thank you. I added the extras to practice techniques under supervision. McGuffin boots out of Albuquerque. I did not build the lasts from scratch, but modified a pair using leather strips to build them out to match my feet. (Each was different, not uncommon) and create toe shape. I can’t seem to...

    Cowboy Boots

    It was still challenging. Not the living room, but that’s the plan for the next pair. Trying to get some specialty items like crimping boards and make another pair on my own.

    Cowboy Boots

    I contacted a customer boot maker and arranged a two week “boot school”. I did all the work, under their instruction, using their shop. Topstitching was done using a singer professional machine, which is an updated version of the 31-15. Most of the rest was done with hand tools, except the...

    Cowboy Boots

    I made my first pair of traditional cowboy boots. Hand lasted and hand welted with a steel shank, wooden pegged sole and hand stacked leather heel.

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    I usually wear a fuller cap, but saw this one in the back corner of the store, and since I had detoured a half hour out of my way to stop in and see what they had I decided to take it home with me.

    How about that vintage western look

    Never seen one quite like that, I really like it!

    Cowboy Boots

    Nothing fancy, but comfortable. Cuero boots.

    Western, anyone?

    I agree. This is why the straw vs felt question as to which is hotter never made sense to me. As long as a leather sweat band is on my forehead, I’ll sweat buckets doing even moderate work, even on cool days.

    Western, anyone?

    This was new to me. Anyone familiar with this? Don’t think I’d care for that.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Ennerdale in a well used Peterson spigot, with a reproduction IMCO trench lighter.

    Western, anyone?

    Sat for a moment with this hatted gentleman. Very stiff hat, not like vintage felt at all.
