Best last making video on RUclips by far. You're the man!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent. I've been searching for a step by step video just like this one and your 1/2 video. Definitely subscribing to your channel. 👍👌 💥💥💥💥💥
Mr. Nishimura you have no idea how many times I have watched your videos on last making! I am getting better at it, my second pair of lasts, for my girlfriend, only took me 6 weeks to finish. Thank you for making these videos.
Gracias por el mensaje usted. Me sentí alentado por sus palabras. También Ganbarimashō el uno al otro ahora. Japón es la temporada de frío. También tenga cuidado de su cuerpo. Gracias.
Hi Kasuma, great video! What wood do you use in Japan for the lasts? Here in Europe the staple is Beech, the wood that european planes is also made of. Thanks for sharing, and lovely kanna by the way.
Hi turesuregusa, Thank you very much. Your video is also great. Saw the sharpening of Japan. Very difficult. Wood I use is tuga. I can use a variety of trees other than tuga.
What are your thoughts on customised grips for your hand, in passing? I'm just a little concerned that with your skills, you can easliy create a customised handle so you don't have to use those elastics, although you are of course well used to them.
Saludos cordiales Kazuma San, gracias por su vídeo . Yo quiero hacer unas hormas lasts, para zapatos , intentaré hacer unas igual a las que usted hizo .
Nishimura-San Because they're for decor, they don't need to be sized to an individual's foot, so a commercial last should save time. Otherwise, they are made like any other, with more attention to the leatherwork, so use vegetable tanned leather, to allow tooling. That again is another subject, as is the shade-dying and sealing.
It's measure twice, cut once. All feet are different sizes, for starters, mine were in the military so more heavily muscled, wider and higher than most, because they lived in boots for so long. Women follow the Ladies of the Twilight World, forcing their feet into shoes which do the opposite at an ealry age, and so tend to have narrow feet with little arch to them.
Cast your foot in two sessions, firstly the sole (use silicone grounting stiffened with maize flour, wear plastic gloves and cover your feet with cling film over pop-socks) and embed dowels in it, vertically around the edge, so the cast for the upper always lines up with the sole. Then, after coating the upper surface of the sole with food oil to stop the top adhering to it, repeat doing the top. That then creates a female cast, finally once it's dried (48 hours) fill it with a plastic skin (just swill your resin in fairly dilute form around inside until it sets) and finally fill the core with epoxt foam, if you can find it, for lightness.

What type of wood is that? Kind of looked like pine but I am not sure.

Hallo
What kind of wood you use?
Y los gatitos siempre atentos 😍
a work of art man. truly.
Thank you so much.
By my estimation, that is approx. one board foot. Am I right? Verrry satisfying.

Desde luego se ha ganado una admiradora desde Mallorca.
