About Harry: For many years I have been running a small leather workshop called Bucklehurst Ltd, and I have published lots of craft related videos on YouTube as Harry Rogers with over 25 million views. I have had so many questions about my shoe making exploits, that I decided to write this book to help people on their shoemaking journey. This is a pretty detailed book comprising 270 pages with advice on what tools to get, and how to select leather and shoe lasts, how to make shoe patterns that will work, and how to assemble your shoes. You will learn the basics of making proper shoes using the traditional techniques that have been used for many many years to make high end shoes, including hand stitched welts to secure your shoe uppers to the sole components, and how to make and use traditional wooden pegs to secure heels.
