Looking for Lasts?

I met a fellow shoemaker today who has quite a few lasts that she'd like to send to a good home. Most of them are unisex-ish style, but you would be able to modify them quite easily. If you'd be interested in purchasing a pair from her, send me your size and I'll see what kind of inventory she has for you.

Making lasts is fun, but it's also really time consuming. If you are interested in making shoes, I'd definitely try to get a last from her.

Thanks for coming to Maker Faire!

Thanks to all of you who showed up to the demo at Maker Faire. I know I was trying to cover a lot in a short amount of time, but stay tuned for the blog post at Craft for more details.

Some of you asked about books on last making and shoe making. One of the best places I've found is Walrus Shoe. http://www.walrusshoe.com/books_home.htm They are great folks. And I just noticed that they now have a "Comprehensive Guide" to shoemaking. It's pricey at $125, but probably well worth it.

Also, for those of you interested in buying a stock last, I may be able to hook you up with someone who's looking to sell quite a few. Will have more details shortly.
