Antique tool dealer and collector Ted Dawson joins Leather Shop to talk vintage leatherworking tools, restoration, craftsmanship, and what more than 40 years of collecting has taught him about the tools craftspeople used generations ago.

Cowboy boots combine traditional shoemaking, custom fitting, and some of leathercraft's most demanding materials. Jake Houston of Houston Boot Company explains how bespoke boots are built, why lasts matter, and what separates handmade construction from factory production while sharing insights on exotic leathers and craftsmanship.
