Here are two new videos for your viewing enjoyment:

This one shows how I go about channeling an insole. There are other ways to accomplish the same task...some of them similar , some of them not so similar. And different approachs may be required depending upon the substance of the insoling leather...

channneling the insole, 9 minutes-33mb

The second video carries the sequence to its next step--holing the insole. Again, there may be other ways of doing this, and certainly there are some schools of thought that take the position that this process is not necessary at all. But as I mention in the video it is an old and revered technique that confers a lot of benefits for those who use it. It is documented again on the HCC home page in the "Texas Photos"--photos of accepted techniques of custom bootmakers in 1940's Texas.

holing the insole, 12 minutes-48mb

Comments, elaborations or questions welcome in "The Screening Room."

Here is a new video from Tim Skyrme...12mb and about 6 inutes long...on back lasting shoes. First of two (?) parts?

This is very well done...and very professional. Well worth the download and the viewing.

back lasting

This is the first in a several part tutorial that picks up after the tapering dacron video. It is going to cover waxing the taw and the thread, splitting and preparing bristles and two methods of mounting the bristle on a waxed end.

I apologize to Tim Skyrme for posting this so close in time to his very excellent video on back lasting. I wrangled my last student (and friend) Rick Roman into being the cameraman on this set and since I have another student coming in on the 16th, I felt I needed to get it processed and posted while I had the spare time.

BTW, it should be mentioned, while I'm thinking about it, that Rick went to Holland and built shoes with an old shoemaker there. Rick tells me that my method for splitting a bristle and mounting it on the waxed end, is precisely the way he was taught in Holland. Small world, isn't it?

Thank you's to Rick Roman for taking the time to video this set.

Here is part two of Tim Skyrme's excellent series on lasting the shoe.

forepart lining and toe puff--7 min., 14mb

good on you, mate.


Emmett

This is the third and final part of Tim Skyrme's series on lasting a shoe. Had it come out around Christmas time several years ago, Peter Jackson, wouldn't have gotten so much attention.

toe puff and forepart upper lasting--9.5 min.,18.5mb

Again, Tim, thanks from all of us.

Here is a short video from our resident lastmaker, Bill Tippit, on how to size and order lasts from Global Footwear Solutions. there is no sound on this. It is simply a guide to determining the size you want to order. Using this system and ordering online will result in a discount.

This is the first part of Marcell's video . It is in .mov format, so having Quicktime on your computer is required. I am going to post both parts in .mov format because they are small in size. I am also going to post the same videos in wmv format although they will be larger and take more time to download.

The difference will be that the Quicktime files will probably not stream and the video itself will display in a very small window. The wmv files will stream...meaning the video should start almost immediately and the picture will be roughly twice the size of the .mov's.

This is the secondt part of Marcell's video . It is in .mov format, so having Quicktime on your computer is required.

marcell's video pt.2--6 min. 10+mb


Emmett

This is the first part of Marcell's video . It is in .wmv format. As soon as buffering is complete the video should start to play.

There is no sound on the first part.

marcell's video pt.1--3 min. 10+mb

This is the second part of Marcell's video. It is in .wmv format. There is a music background...to sooth the savage beast. (Sounds like techno-fusion-punk, Marcell )

marcell's video pt.2--6 min. 26 mb


Emmett

All,

Here is Marcell's third video...as promised, in both mov and wmv formats.

mov 12 min., 21mb

After some jockeying and then having to do the conversions, here...for your viewing enjoyment...is Marcell's fourth, fifth, and sixth videos. In wmv format.

Recently J. Johanson posted a link to a video he made on lasting.

The Administration of the Crispin Colloquy discourages links to other websites for important or valuable information. The Internet is replete with sites that have had photos posted which then disappeared because the link has expired or the photos were eventually cleared from the site.

As a consequence we try to obtain and post videos directly to the Crispin Colloquy and these are stored on the HCC server, which in turn insures that these videos will be preserved for as long as the HCC is in existence and has a presence on the 'Net.

The one and minor downside of all that is that Admin must vet and post these videos.

Thanks to Alasdair Muckart we were able to obtain a copy of jay's video and convert it to wmv format. It loses some of the sparkling clarity or the original but the content is there.

Enjoy...

Sorry for the bad link in the previous post. I edited the post to correct that problem. If you go directly to the forum, the new link will open Windows Media Player with the video.
