Stand Lasting

technique of lasting while standing up, holding the shoe in a standing-height lasting jack

Compared to sit lasting, stand lasting can make it easier to drive lasting tacks and especially clinching nails, as well as to transition seamlessly to hammering-intensive processes like pegging and heel stacking. The ability to lever against the fixed lasting jack also makes bulldogs very effective at creating high tension, such as through sturdy-leather boot shanks.
