Chad , You are a true craftsman at work, love the work you did , and the finished product a credit to you . Awesome boots , how they should be made . Cheers from Australia
Nicely done Chad! I love the “old nocona” in there on the insole. Miss Enid is smiling :) Will yall do wide sizes at some point? Would love to get a pair of the revivals!
Salutation, quel dommage de ne pas avoir filmé la mise en place de la trépointe, c'est interressant de voir le travail de couture sur cette trépointe! Dommage vraiment! Quel beau travail que cette paire de botte! Bravo!
Thanks for watching. Yeah...film crew took a couple days off...ha ha. I did put links to another welting video though. Thanks again for the comment. What part of Texas?
@@eradawnboots I’m just northeast of San Antonio. Always interested how others do it. I apprenticed at Capitol Saddlery in Austin, 1972-1975, then went to work for Lucchese in San Antonio, 1975-1985. Then on my own. Saddles and tack, gunbelts, and leather bullwhips.
@@danziegnerI’ve recently been wanting to attempt to make boots. Do you think there is a way to learn exactly how to make boots, buy materials, and what needed to make them?
@@zazerp2143 I apprenticed for two years under a master bootmaker. You need access to the equipment as well as the knowledge. There are boot maker classes offered by several people. Do a google search for a bootmaker in your area and simply ask if he/she will take you on. The other path is go to Texas and get a job with a boot manufacturer. They are always looking for entry level people.
Boots are a staple for every horseman or cattlemen, there is a lot goes into it but pretty straight forward. Far too many people take advantage of by cutting brand new boots in half when there are folks out there in actual need of foot protection.. and people that should be wearing steel toes but would rather "look cool" in shot kickers
Thank you so much!! This knife is from the fabric/garment industry. It is for a reciprocating fabric cutting machine. It is razor sharp and you can sharpen it for a long time... I can find a good source and add that here. Again, thank you!
The vamp lining is cut from a blocker pattern, so larger than the already sewn on vamp. It is stuck from back side and then sewn on from front by a second row of stitching next to the row used to sew on the vamp.
Hello, I have a pair of 10D Lucchese Lizard skin boots. 2003-2005 I purchased at a Lucchese Outlet Store in El Paso, TX. Both have a hole worn through the leather sole by the big toe ball. I just watched and enjoyed your video on full sole protector and heal replace. Can I send my boots out to you for this repair? The local cobbler passed away a few years ago. Nobody in Dubuque, IA has replaced him. He was an old school cobbler. Thanks Don
Thank you for inquiring!! Yes, we can sure do this job for you, but let me try and find someone close to you who would do a great job for you...I will get back to you!
The water softens the leather, making it more pliable for "stretching" and "working" the leather. The alcohol mixed into the water makes the water penetrate and evaporate quickly. Thanks for watching!
Now i can understand why they are so expensive. Enjoyable video to watch 👍
Thank you for watching!!
Years of experience and passed down knowledge, time to accommodate for quality and comfortability
I love my cowboy boots and love watching what goes into making them. Great job!
Thank you so much!!!

Nicely done Chad! I love the “old nocona” in there on the insole. Miss Enid is smiling :)
Will yall do wide sizes at some point? Would love to get a pair of the revivals!
Yes for sure!!! And btw, I was working about 10 paces from her old office in this video!
That's a very handsome pair of boots.
This is not a job. This is an art
I would agree!!

Texas bootmaker here. Not the way that I do it, but nice finished pair. You skipped a few major steps, though. But thanks for posting the video.

@@danziegner is the thread just for decoration? Or does it serve some kind of purpose? Like the toe wrinkle things. Or the designs up the side.
Excelente trabajo artesanal muy prolijo es un verdadero placer ver la realización de la bota vaquera lo felicito
Thank you so much!

AMAZING.
Thank you!!
You make it look simple but leatherwork requires a lot of skill. What sewing machine you using?
That was an Artisan 5550, but we've moved onto a Highlead GC0518. Thank you so much for the compliment!
Wow what a great video! Thank you for sharing! What kind of skiving knife are you using?

@@eradawnboots youre welcome! that would be amazing! Thank you so much! I really like the side blade and I think that's perfect for leather!
😂😂@@eradawnboots
Это явно мексиканский стиль обуви 😊орнамент и форма всё говорит об этом .
Not really...since I am 100% American...actually more inspired by European
Excelente. Job♥️👍
thank you!!
Hey texas boot maker what do charge an where you located
In Fort Worth! Come see us!!
How do you adhere the liner to the inside of the vamp prior to sewing it? Also is the liner pigskin?
The vamp lining is cut from a blocker pattern, so larger than the already sewn on vamp. It is stuck from back side and then sewn on from front by a second row of stitching next to the row used to sew on the vamp.

What do you use to draw the pattern on the leather before you stich it? Thanks
It is a silver ink pen from Panhandle leather. The ink is specifically formulated to mark on leather, but is easily rubbed off.
What's the make and model of the machine you use to stitch the boot tops? Thanks!
This was an Artisan 5550 Big with servo motor. Thanks for watching!!
👌👋👋👋🤙🥰
It's very beautiful
Thank you!!!
Do u do Classes?

Thank you!!
Why did you choose the nails and not wooden pegs on the bottom?
Brass tacks hold better and longer vs today's birch pegs...plus they don't destroy the insole.
Why do you use the water and rubbing alcohol for
The water softens the leather, making it more pliable for "stretching" and "working" the leather. The alcohol mixed into the water makes the water penetrate and evaporate quickly. Thanks for watching!
