Youtube video tutorial on boot making


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, as a noob I have been searching through forums and youtube trying to find tutorials for many of the things that we aspiring troop have to make ourselves or spend a ton of money to get them made for us. I found this video earlier tonight and although I haven't attempted a boot build yet, this looks extremely helpful. I was dreading the boots just about as much as I am the cummerbund and pouches but now, I feel like I can do it. I hope this hasn't been posted yet and if it has then here it is again! Hope this helps yall as much as it did me!

i went on the crl to make mine. i found the video confusing. hehe

What did you find confusing? I haven't tried building them yet so I may be missing something that I would catch when everything is in front of me so it would be good to see that before I start. did you just use the photos in the CRLs or is there a tutorial in them that I'm missing?

Please don't follow that video. He doesn't stretch the toe covering, and for gosh sake he doesn't even know how to use a pop-rivet gun! He's grinding up his holster trying to remove the mandrel.

yeah I kinda looked over the grinding part and just assumed he wasn't the brightest crayon in the box lol. How would you recommend stretching the toe covering?

Heat, Pin. Rinse, repeat. Theres some guides (pandatrooper for a start) that show the best methods

thanks! I'm glad you mentioned pandatrooper, ive been meaning to check out his build but I haven't looked for it yet. hopefully I can find it tonight.

I'm still a noob. But a determined one with most the expensive parts on hand already :)

 

About to enter stick white stuff together phase *gulp*

Hahaha I hear you. It wont be long and hopefully I can order the expensive stuff! It will still be a minute before I get to that phase though!
