My name is Julian - inspired by the craftsmanship of my grandfather, I made traditional hand-sewn shoes for 3 years. With the knowledge what shoemakers need and my engineering background, I started to make my own tools and finally running my own workshop for shoemaker tools. Beside the new tools I refurbish used German tools from the golden times of shoemaking.

I would be happy to provide you with everything you need in the field of bespoke shoemaking and shoemaking as a hobby. Feel free to ask me for custom orders.

The latest release from my workshop are shoemaker fudge wheels. They come with my classic wooden handle, are short and light for the best guidance around the welt. It is the third basic hand tool in my product line.

After long years of service, the handles of the shoemaker irons age due to the constant heat up with the spirit lamp. I offer quality replacement handles in the traditonal German shape.

I produce crimping clamps for blocking in my workshop. Uppers are made using this technique, especially in the bespoke shoemaking and bootmaking trades, where laces are undesirable. For exhample chelsea boots. The clamp can be ordered in my shop. It is conceivable to make this tool also with other dimensions as "Made-to-order".

The handle is made from steamed beech with nickel-plated ferrule and oil finishing. The design is close to the handle from famous workshop R.Hess Magstadt. They fits perfect for fudge wheels, pattern wheels, stitch markers, welt and feathering knifes.
