Q&A With BrianTheBootMaker

[@tkdrob1111975]

I like your sound tracks. Very relaxing to watch.

[@bchase1980]

I think I can speak for everyone and say we can all tell that you a genuinely a good man and I think that is a big reason why people watch the videos keep up the amazing work love the videos

[@jay-rus4437]

At 48 years old and a business owner, I respect this young man a great deal. Our twin sons are both in our business, which is skilled tradesman line of work. Proud of both of them, and looking at Brian I carry a sense of pride for him as well…..“If that makes sense” 😁

[@dan69golf]

I love the sound tracks you use. Keep it up

[@MrWrobstar21]

Brian, please keep the soundtrack! It goes so well with your craft! Wouldn't be the same without it

[@hermyherm365]

Man I actually dig the music bro ...

[@ddtddt8493]

Keep them coming. Your soundtrack is great

[@ricardonuno1694]

Keep your soundtracks, helps me destress

[@GABRIEL_CRAFT]

I really appreciate your calm and humble attitude Brian. Of course, all the craftsmanship as well. Thank you always for your uploads. I would really love to apprentice under someone like yourself.

[@robertkeating1899]

You have a gift. Workmanship and gentlemenship. Good on you

[@haloford]

Will you make a video talking about ur clothing style and ur clothing collection?

[@georgesanchez9971]

Your sound track works!

[@georgesanchez9971]

Brother, Your videos are seen by my students who enjoy your work.

[@brulevin]

I like your usual soundtrack, Brian!

[@gabocortes483]

La música es muy buena !! Saludos desde SLP México.

[@accordionplayer4ever]

Greetings from Arizona, your work is top-of-the-line.

[@AbuGrabIt]

Dude, your work is interesting and so are you! Keep up the great work and keep up the videos.

[@WELDERMADEHEADBANDS]

Hey Brian, it would be cool to see a video with your teacher - it’s very respectful how you comment and acknowledge him. Cya👍🏽

[@GABRIEL_CRAFT]

Same here.

[@-MacCat-]

You have real and old fashioned values. You deserve every ounce of good luck and admiration that comes your way. Good karma to you Brian, and thank you for sharing your time. #Respect

[@PinMonkey1960]

Thanks for the q & a. Love them lace to toe boots. Nice of you to show them off in depth. 👍

[@TokyoDre13]

Are you stoned man? I like your videos and all but you sound stoned as hell.

[@saulevaristo1674]

I just started watching your videos and I love the setting - music and everything. I made a video inspired on the way you make them. I think is great to have an open mind and try new things to improve them. Your videos are so relaxing amigo. Keep up the hard work

[@mbtadhl]

Well done Brian, I like your style, humble and kind, very nice.

[@Cowboy80911]

Another great video Brian! Very educational and informative. Looking forward to seeing your growth and continued progress in such a great career field. Thank you for being a educator and bringing the art of being a bootmaker back to the public attention in your own unique way.

[@Grant-vk6zo]

I enjoy your videos and soundtracks as they are. This is a dying art and I enjoy seeing it carried on by someone with passion. Stay humble and best wishes from Florida.

[@coldtrader4737]

I am always peased to see you have a post your humility and calmness is inspiring. best wishes from the UK - stay small

[@wp3gn]

Like the video. You should have your own line of socks for your boots. Gracias por tu trabajo

[@davepelfrey3958]

That is a Great idea!

[@mmsoluciones846]

Tu trabajo es muy bueno,saludos de un Zapatero de León,Gto

[@danna140]

Gonna start taking my boots to you...good ole fashion hard work is what you do 👍💪💯... keep it up

[@cabradebolon609]

BRIAN PLEASE MAKE SOME VIDEOS IN SPANISH! THANKS

[@warriorem2neza854]

Buenos videos... Y buen trabajo.. Bryan....👍💪💪

[@dukerobinson5421]

Greetings from Canada. I've learned a lot from watching you work. Thank you and many blessings.

[@MarcP5267]

I like the music in your videos.

[@jay-rus4437]

“Economical”….lol. Yes, many boots are decent leather upper material using cheap construction methods and base materials. A great example is the Red Wing Weekender Chelsea. Love the style, and the leather is great, but they are getting away with robbery charging $250 for a stitch out construction with mediocre soles etc

[@johnenriquez1439]

Can you repair designer leather handbags? Do you make (from scratch) leather gloves?

[@ElChile2010]

What kind of glue do you use,? ,Does anybody know what kind of glue he uses? . Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!

[@Funfamfood]

Some people like background music, some don’t. You can make both, as good “peaceful cuisine” youtuber from japan.

[@stevebock3340]

What name brand is the Engineer boot you polishing, very nice contrast black and brown piping combo, very nice!!

[@GS-st9ns]

I like you soundtracks. They're relaxing but not the least bit boring. They're very much like you you're relaxed and chill and you like to have fun and that's how your music sounds. you look sleepy sometimes. Do you get enough sleep

[@jay-rus4437]

Great comment about time and hard work. Yes, you do in fact have a gift, and that is vision and artistic perspective. However, people need to know that it requires a lot of hard work and persistence to become a “master” in anything.

[@jeremiahmendoza387]

I thought it was sole club! Mandela effect! 😱😱😱😱

[@ANDREASRIAL]

Hope that one day You and Your Maestro are in the same video, to see the legends go over time. Thanks for your videos and time.

[@JoseGarcia-hl8th]

Brian, your humility will get you far. However, be sure you treat your business deals with caution always. Best wishes.

[@nalgas5569]

" I smoke lots of mota if that makes sense " 😂😂😂

[@btewb]

Roberto Acosta 10:01 hahaha

[@eleven.eastgate.twelve967]

Big Ups BTB! More love and blessings to you and Maestro in 2020! 🤙

[@tombob671]

I really enjoy your and admire your craftsmanship

[@hexum9449]

Very interesting video, answered so many of my questions! Thank you.

[@izzysantiago978]

Brian, I like those brown boots you are illustrating with but would like them in black and a little taller like the brown ones on your left. How Much?

[@jay-rus4437]

Love the sound tracks. Put my earphones in and turn the music down just a bit and sit back and enjoy.

[@georgecarlin2879]

Keep the acoustic guitar soundtracks please! Those are awesome.

[@brotendo]

I hear Horween Chromexcel wrinkles really badly. Is that true?

[@NRH1987]

How much would you charge for a pair of boots just like the ones you were wearing in the video?

[@snoopu2601]

This is a dieing art shoe & boot making right on for keeping it alive. I don't even know where a resole shoe shop is in the California bay area West County

[@sethcollins518]

What is the difference between the underdogs and RCM-42?

[@Welther47]

12:46 That's the question I was waiting for! I knew it would be there :D

[@pappypinel7484]

Great sound tracks. Very knowledgeable

[@giovannimendoza9740]

Your soundtrack really goes well with what you do.

[@ericritz932]

I like to making sizes of the lace to toe boots making a pair of them i need to know.

[@davewomack723]

Do u do wedge style boots like my 411 redwing work boots?

[@gregoriojuarez1579]

Approximately how much is a resole?

[@thenicky7836]

Man your a nice humble guy and have a amazing skill

[@MSRez95]

Second to none leather craftsmanship!

[@pescalosconbrodis5375]

Can you make me boots?

[@craigslistrro709]

To be able to say I resoled my own boots would be the coolest thing..

[@davidharris8797]

Is mink oil bad for leather boots ¿

[@cesarnava5737]

Donde puedo ver tus diseños de botas para poder comprar?

[@padsterlove7918]

I like your soundtracks

[@dale3641]

[@noemelara2643]

[@chrisac9001]

I like allot ur sound track

[@watsthislifefor]

I've just discovered your channel. This is the third video I've watched from your channel, and they've all been extremely interesting and so relaxing. Great job.

[@owl331]

I wear a 6 inch And 8 inch lace ups, what is a good laces and what type of knot would you recommend, my laces keep coming untied

[@BrianTheBootmaker]

60” or 72”. Square knot

[@thunderheads4103]

Hard to choose between Iron Rangers and 1000 Mile boots. I am a Red Wing man myself. At 1 point, i had 4 pair. 2 work and 2 nice. Iron Rangers can be stiff new but a good and reputable Red Wing store will oil them up. Best to wear them in hot weather to break in, the heat makes it all more pliable and the leather absorbs the oil and sweat better, causing it to break in better, in my experience. I think that the Iron Rangers are just a real good boot and not to discredit Wolverine(they're from Rockford, Michigan) but they seem more dressy and civilized compared to the Iron Ranger, which was a Miner's work boot in the Iron Mountain Range of Michigan and Minnasoda. Their construction of double leather toe cap and heel were esrly forms of "safety" features (under hunnert piund rocks and ore carts, stepping on timbers high up in the stopes) They, because of that, i think are tougher. I've had mine from the sands of the Great Lakes, to the ice of Michigan to the rocks of Texan Desert, sands of Arizonan desert as well. 7 years. But these days you can buy them off the shelf and or online. Back when i bought mine, Red Wing needed a certain number of orders from across the country to do a production run for their customers. Back them days, they really were a hand made boot. I had to wait about 4 months for them to be made and then a few weeks afterwards. Now, they keep different sizes on the shelf in trendy malls. My right sole is about 1/8th of an inch longer than the left. You won't see that anymore.

[@urgr8774]

Hello Brian, very nice video, by the way, my question is the following: if I bought a pair of your boots, would you send them overseas? 'cause I live in South America. God bless you, man.

[@raysmith390]

In my opinion your videos have a perfect formula. The music just works with your look and feel. I get that For craftsman type videos there is an interest to be immersed in ALL the sights and sounds possible (hence the interest in “no music”). It could be interesting. Keep up the great work! Oh. And by the way. You DO have a gift!

[@moretimethanmoney8611]

Role Club wallets, money clips, hand bags, leather conditioner... you need a whole product line! Partner with cobblers across the globe and sell your products at their store fronts like in a salon, but for boots and shoes! Do Not Go on Shark Tank! Study business management and accounting as a hobby.

[@iainmceachran321]

Always great to watch a craftsman at work. As a boy, I was sent to a tiny shop where an old guy repaired boots and shoes - pick up repaired shoes. Always fascinated me how it was done. You have great skills. Keep the good work and the videos. All the best from Scotland.

[@karlab9557]

I like your music, and I enjoy all your videos. My dad was a shoe repairman and a pastor. He learned the craft as a young man in the early 1950s and set up shop various times as a side income in small towns long before the internet, so his clientele was very localized. I enjoy seeing you work and all of your machines, as I remember Dad using those same machines. You have a wonderful calm and patient manner. Thank you for your videos.

[@ixactan69]

It has been almost 2 years not seeing your video, and I thought you had retired... :( Thankfully you are back. :)

[@jmhf40]

Man if I didn’t live so far away, in Kentucky, I would visit you in a heart beat. I do plan on getting some of your boots made ASAP!

[@MrRwithanitch]

You do have a gift my brother, your talented and it shows that not only have you worked hard but continue to learn and grow in your craft. I hope to own a pair of your boots soon some day. But for sure I’m most interested in a pair of your hand built Dress Shoes first. I ware a size 10 and I’m gonna check out your choices that are available so I can have you make me a pair.

[@secretdaisy6484]

You’re doing a great job. I appreciate your explanations of what you’re doing and telling us some things about yourself. The reason your channel is so successful is because you are naturally gifted for what you’re doing. 🥾🌞🥾

[@DB-me3jt]

7 people walk barefoot

[@johndeer4250]

Love them black boots with the 2 buckles awesome for riding MC or horse Great video keep it up Thanks 🙏

[@gurneymcbuzzin]

Hey Brian, don't try and fix what isn't broken. For me the music you play adds to the overall vibe of your videos. It gives an insight into your character and your love for what you do. I'm not a boot owner and don't listen to your taste in music but love your video's and think the formula you have is right on the mark.

[@carloscordova4715]

Bro you could make leather key chains and stamp your logo on them... I’d buy em🤗

[@keiththecarguy1967]

Brian I like the sound track you use and I enjoy watching your craftsmanship

[@zacharybarnes6731]

Love your videos :)

[@timmattison6553]

You may think it's not a gift but you certainly have a gift younman. Please keep the videos coming.

[@moisesortega5107]

Love your craft and love to see someone so young have that craftsmanship as yourself, nice when you speak spanish you are the true Zapatero you have a true gift my friend- Brian The BootMaker..oh and keep the sound track it cool>>

[@davepelfrey3958]

Hello from Kentucky, I've always have loved your channel Brian, that lace to toe is off the chain cool. Would love to order a pair of your lace up. I'm a boot freak. How is the best way to get a good true fit when I order.

[@txdave13]

I really love your soundtracks. It's so relaxing and really pulls you into the story that you're telling. Regardless, you're amazingly talented and I look forward to every new video.

[@Graveltrucking]

You’re continuing the craft of building old school boots which is great very few people know how good hand made boots feel not like the mass produced junk.

[@rubenrangel1422]

Nice videos I enjoy them all quiestion can you make wallets like yours I will buy and support you thanks

[@brianbutters1191]

You do wonderful work. Such a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you!!

[@thomashaenig3303]

Why do some boots have no shanks? I understand shanks are arch support and therefore quite positive!

[@tuomasholo]

Thank you on the explanation on cork being not as durable as leather! I will make a trip to your shop to drop off two pairs to get resoled on my next trip to LA.

[@MikeWD9JJV]

It's enjoyable to watch a skilled craftsman.

[@FunWithAJ]

[@Motoroxido]

Thank you for answering our questions. I wonder if you will start making leather wallets any time soon? Keep the good work!

[@dijemelankolia9695]
