July 27, 2012 Course in Oklahoma
is done. It was great. We spent time in one of the greatest cowboy bootmaker’s workshop. Lisa Sorell – I believe everybody, who know a bit about western art, knows her name. She is a magician in the bootmaking world. I really want to make an interview with her in the near future, until then check her website:
http://www.customboots.net/Sorrell_Custom_Boots/Home.html
By the way, funny fact: did you know, that bootmakers ONLY make boots in their sizes? Woman bootmakers ONLY make woman boots, because they can’t make any bigger? NOOOOOOOT. I hope you did not believe it – many people do.
We has some visitors from a local, Oklahoma newspaper, and a lovely, young reporter made a long interview with us. I am not that much happy with my pics – but that is not unusual.
THE OKLAHOMAN - Tough as Leather
And some pictures until the next time
Hard work in Lisa’s workshop
Guthrie is just… a surprise. Charming little town, looks like a western movie, it is a pity that they use cars there.
A welted construction from the side view. Professionals will understand why I posted this.
Heel seat stitch. Rare technique nowadays.
A ready made welting. No, not Good-year. This is handmade.
Lisa is just measuring a “customer”. In the front: her beautiful work.
Lisa, lasting a toe puff.
Lisa with a useless apprentice.
They made it. They deserve to be famous.

Marcell Mrsan I ordered you to store video on sewing school shoes and I came to drive “historic shoes films” / which is the manufacture of shoes in your hand has no any relation. though the film is not a complete shit. and for this useless disk I paid $ 100. I think this is not the delivery. What should I do now? because I want to drive your instruction. and not a movie about a delusional factory where they make shoes.

«…useless apprentice»? I´d like to understand that… if he is an apprentice he isn´t useless.
