Surform
- big file
- shoulders and back sore
- Third Part: class with Bill Shanor
- new way to mount bristles to waxed ends for inseaming
- splits the taw relatively close to the tip
- bent needles
- Fourth Part:
- Bill Shanor class
- first attempt at hand outseaming
- went well the first day, not so well the second
- better: on Dick Anderson stand holding the shoe toe-up, heel-down
- worse: on lap with strap
- unsure how to hold when sewing the toe
- outseaming awl
- marked each stitch hole
- don’t wriggle the awl
- pulling out and pushing in again better than wriggling
- stitch just like inseaming, but a lot more of them
- closed channel
- awl pokes out in groove under flap
- slow, steady push
- work with curve, never against or will snap
- using curved needles
