Virtual Boot Making Class

Experience a one-on-one class with me, Sam Schmidt to learn how to make your very own boots. In this class you will be taken on a step-by-step process of pattern making, custom last build-ups, cutting leather, skiving, sewing, carving the insole, lasting, bottoming, and more. Through this process you'll learn all about the different tools and materials is takes to make a pair of handmade boots. With me, you'll have the freedom of choosing your own leather and creating your own design. No experience needed, just a desire to learn and willingness to grow.

TOOLS/MACHINERY - In this online version of the class, you'll have the ability to use your own tools and/or machines that you have access to in your shop. This course gives the same attention and necessary needs as the In-person class. 

SCHEDULE - You'll be given one day (4-5hrs) of instruction per week for 6 weeks, and you'll have access to me via text, call or video chat throughout the week while you work on your boots. Scheduling for this class, verses the In-person class, makes it so that I can get you started tomorrow if you'd like. Give me a call or email to schedule.

MATERIALS - Depending on your experience level with leather & you choice of hide, materials can cost from $200-$400. These expenses are not included in the course cost.
