I’m in England for a shoemaking conference and this morning I gave an hour-long seminar on skiving techniques after the conference ended, for a small group of students that attended.
Having people hang over me with questions and cameras doesn’t bother me.I have the magical ability to touch someone’s hand and they become a great skiver. (It’s because I can feel how and where they’re applying pressure and help them adjust as needed.)
I'm a custom cowboy boot maker. I own a business, Sorrell Custom Boots, and I create bespoke cowboy boots using vintage machinery and hand tools. I also own www.sorrellnotionsandfindings.com, a company that specializes in tools, supplies, and leather for the boot and shoe making trade.
