Please allow me to say this; if you'll set a premise to do each step along the way to the best of your abilities, you'll go far. Boot and/or shoe making is a difficult learning curve. And for a long time, the more you learn, the more you'll see there is to learn. Don't be deterred. And have fun.
I wish you well and look forward to your experiences along the way. Don't be bashful. Because really, we're all immune to death by embarassment.
Best Wishes,
Paul
