I registered a few months ago to ebay, but I didn’t buy or sell so many thing yet. I wanted to sell my old, redundant tools.. but I don’t have reduntant ones. I couldn’t force myself to sell any of them. They will stay. (just like Gollam in Lord of the Rings.. 
– my preciouses…)
Now I found some great tool on german ebay – I put my licit on (quite much I must say).. and I won. My girlfriend almost get a heart attack when she realised that I paid for a collection more than 100 euros, just because I neede one tool from it. (The rest will go to the “precious” section). Girls.. How come they don’t understand how important a rasp could be?
DVD Shoemaking Lessons
I put some videos on youtube 18 months ago, and get more than 200.000 visits in them, but there are still some people who wants more… – hopefully. Some shoemaker student asked for instructional videos for simple technologies (what I never use for bespoke shoes actually), so I decided to make one, maybe more later. and I just finished the recording and started the cutting. Here are some pictures.
I almost forgot: The voice over it won’t be mine – I will ask someone better. Good for all of us.
I’m sure that’s one fantastic rasp and well worth the money!
WOW,I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AROUND FOR PEOPLE STILL WORKING IN THE LOST ART OF SHOW MAKING AND YOU YOU-TUBE AND NOW STUDENT VIDEOS ARE INTERESTING. I MUST SAY THAT THE MENS SHOES PICTURED ABOVE ARE WONDERFULLY MADE AND THEY SPEAK TO THE BRILLANCE OF THEIR CREATOR

Nice writing. You are on my RSS reader now so I can read more from you down the road.
Hello:
I’m writing from Mexico, I worked as a shoe repair man from my early teens untill it was time for college and let me tell you it was great, I remember customers eyes lit up when they saw their shoes looking like new, it’s been a while since I last touched a shoe repair tool, but I recently made a pair of shoes(kind of espadrilles)from scratch for my daughter and the look in her eyes was the same, so after seeing your beautiful shoe photos I was inspired to make more, at least for my family and myself,
Thank you
Not at all! That’s why I work – keep the trade alive and give inspiration to those people – like you – who are able to do more. Good luck with it!
