          Very nice, what type of leather did you use...you should show a fit pic!

              Wow...

              I just started doing some leatherwork for watch straps and belts.

              How difficult is it to handmake a pair of boots? How many hours involved would you say?

                after a couple more watch straps you should be well equipped
                but seriously , its not the hours
                but the skill set

                nice shaped boot by the way

                  add another week if you make the last...

                      Is there any resources you could recommend to learn?

                          find someone who makes shoes in your area and ask them if you can do some work experience otherwise some shoemakers offer short courses. wouldn't bother trying to learn from a book you need the guidance of someone with experience for a halfway good result. If anyone in australia wants to learn I can hook them up, especially if they are in sydney. Will trade ccp, cdiem,luc etc for shoe lessons ; )

                            Right, I'll take a look. Always been interested in shoe construction so I'm really hoping to find something.
