September 26, 2011 What’s up..
I started to work on my book. I would say, this is not perfectly new, as I already started to work on it at least twice, but this time there are some differences. I don’t have anything to distract my attention from it and I have a lot of possibilities (like cool Wacom tablets, huge scanners, cheap offers to print a book, helpful people who can help to translate my English to real English etc.) around me. This time it will work.
I made already a long list of topics I want include, but feel free to suggest me some.

Missing more info from you we know you busy but don’t forget us please. COULD YOU PLEASE DO A COURSE for long distance folks. I’ve found some schools on the USA for shoe making but when I look at the final shoes the students are making it really turn me off. I’m a Big Fan of your work !!

Possibly a topic on how to hand carve lasts from wood and how to modify modern plastic lasts based on specific patterns and foot measurements?

I wish you the very best on your book. I am in awe when I see your work, such fine craftsmanship is a rare thing in this crazy world. I share your interest and enthusiasm in making shoes. I have completed but one pair of roller skate boots, but I am working on my first pair of “Work Shoes” and will use knowledge gained from your fabulous blog to finish my new pair. Thanks and have a great day!

Possiblities of topics..to be included in book/s, I would like seen are as follows…especially if it is a very traditional style for ‘Bespoke Shoes’.
Think this information has been lost over time, I believe.
1) Handcrafting Lasts / Styles Of Lasts (needed for diifferent
construction of shoe types / designs)
2) Making Of Ballet Pointe Shoes & Handmade Toe Blocks
3) Turnshoes With Heels (Men/Ladies)
4) Atheletic shoes: Trainers/ Joggers / Formal Dress Trainers.
5) Any Shoe Tools You can Make Yourself.
Hope this would be interesting to you & everyone.
Good luck with your book & best wishes….
