As I have started with shoemaking, it was laborious to collect all necessary tools to get started. Here I am offering shoemaker starter kits, which comes with all tools you need like shoemaker hammer, lasting pliers, shoemaker knife, fudge wheel and awls. Additionally, the sets include a collection of shoemaker books, which provides you knowledge in pattern making and construction of handmade shoes. If the sets are sold, please write me a message and I can make a reservation for you.

Introducing my first set of cup sole and sneaker last for everyone who wants to make sneakers and not traditional hand sewn shoes. Materials and sneaker making tool sets are also available.

This is a series of shoemaker welt knifes made from high-alloy cold work steel with heat treatment. It is used, to trim the welt and beveling leather edges. The knife is also available for left handed craftsmen.

It´s a great tool to support you at the bottom making process. The welting board fixes the shoe proper on your legs with the bottom up. That makes the welting process more comfortable and leads to precise and clean stitches.

The second tool I made in my workshop is a channel opener. It is an basic tool to open and shape channels in the shoemaking process. It is used basically for the making of holdfasts and stitiching channels.
