Welcome to shoemaking.wiki!

I hope to build out this site as a resource for shoemakers new and old, to explore, document, and preserve the diverse craft of shoemaking, with a particular focus on handwork methods. If you would like to contribute comments, changes, or new pages, please start a conversation on the One & Awl discussion forum or e-mail me at kyle@shoemaking.wiki.
