Tools

Posted on November 10, 2024 by customboots

A few weeks ago, a museum contacted me about an exhibit. They had a large selection of boot maker’s tools and needed to narrow it down to eight or ten to display in the exhibition. I gave my advice, but then I began thinking about which ten boot making tools I would choose to represent my craft. Here are ten of my most-loved hand tools.

(For the curious, the tools with green tape on them stay on a shared bench. The green tape means LEAVE THIS TOOL ON THE GREEN TAPE BENCH AND DON’T WANDER OFF WITH IT. Have I ever mentioned that I’m a curmudgeon?)
