Youtube stats again
SO: – 732 thousand views – almost everyone watch them from the beginning to the end (except the spinning sticth one – I kind of understand..:). – half of the downloads came from last october (some videos are on for 3 years) – Somehow I attract 45-54 people.
“Being in a Grimm’s Fairytale” – interview with Aimee Taylor
This interview came out a few month ago, and gave me a hard time if I want to hear about it anymore. Let me quote some sentences: “He would throw our work on the ground and tell us to make it again, but then not tell us what he didn’t like about it” Comment: maybe… Read More

Moron 2.
My youtube “fan”: “stop talking bs and change the tittle of your video to ” how shoes are made” because your video is not a tutorial!!!!!!! ” How to make a shoe – Part 1.” sounds objectively, directly like a tutorial, and you end up misleading people because YOU’RE NOT TEACHING ANYONE ANYTHING! why is… Read More

“Moron”
I recently got this comment on my youtube channel, for my first video: “this is not how to make a shoe, moron! ” how to make” are tutorials and this is not one! imbecil!” More than 185.000 hits didn’t find it useless, but this guy yes. I would mention that there are 14 other videos… Read More

Noooo), and plenty other strange name, so finally I decided this. Last number nine – sound nice, doesn’t it? I alreade created 2 models… Read More
Flea market, Budapest
This is something not to miss in Hungary, especially if you are interested in getting the old world’s relics, bargaining on things which are good for nothing – except if you need some new items catching the dust in your home. Anyway, the reason I attend the market is simple: students. They wanted to see… Read More
A new last as an end of an old project
So, the story started quite much time ago: I asked, asked and practically begged for my last suppliers for a certain type of last I had in my mind – I drawn them, photoshopped, existing models, but I never got back the right result. It is hard to explain: like seeing someone at the first… Read More
Seven Eyelets Full Brogue
Here they are! They spent one year on the last, but every minutes worth. I think I will use this finishing style in my RTW line also.
New Shoes on the Tube
RTW collection is on the tube – and this is official now. I will start with 4 models, an oxford, a derby, a loafer and a wholecut. Stay tuned. The sample uppers are already clicked tomorrow we will start to assemble them.
Wikipedia 2.
Recently I went back to check the wikipedia about shoemaking. Before I gave up I extended the post about the techniques we use. (I am a master shoemaker, so I believe I know something about it – sorry for not being humble). So, my version (2nd paragraph on the screenshot): But… unfortunately… Too much personal… Read More
