B.Nelson Shoes Review
So for quite a while I’ve been hearing tons of rave reviews about B.Nelson Shoes, the New York Cobbler who performs miracles. I decided to give them them a try, and sent them an old pair of thrifted Burgundy Allen Edmonds Graysons to test them out. Below are the before images. As you can see these shoes have been worn hard and not cared for very well. The leather shows some minor cracks and shoe trees were probably never used as evidenced by the degree of creasing. 
The following are my After Photos, and I must say I was a little disappointed. The entire Job took about 27 days from the time they received my shoes in the mail to the time when I got them back. What B. Nelson Shoes describes as a recraft is simply a polish and new soles and heels, a job my local Cobbler could have done in a few days for a little more than half their price.
While It may seem as if my expectations were a little unrealistic I don’t think they were. Especially when this is what B. Nelson shoes Advertises on there site as Before and After photos of a “typical recraft”.
False advertisement…….I’d say so. My Sock liner wasn’t replaced. My uppers weren’t refinished and look nothing like that recraft. Now that I really look at it, it Kinda looks like B.Nelson’s After photo was photo shopped. In the future i’ll continue to send my shoes back to the manufacturer for there recrafts. The price is very similar but the results are like day and night. So what do you think? Were my expectations unrealistic or is B.Nelson Shoes just not what people make them out to be?
I didn’t want to do it, but it had to be done. I had a little vomit incident at Foxwoods, and had to give my jeans their first hot soak. I wanted to wait a full year before getting them wet, but it had to be done to get the throw up off my pant legs.

This is a Yankee Chest I spent the last several weeks making in a Brookline adult education wood shop. Overall I’m pretty unhappy with it. There’s still alot of sanding to do. I’d like to try to throw a little glue in the seams and put a couple clamps on to close the gaps in the joints. I also want to put a tung oil finish on it. I’ll post some photos when it’s completely finished.
Overall it would have been a great course and the product would have been a lot better if the instructor didn’t totally suck ass. He rushed us through, was often unprepared, and didn’t know where anything was. Worst of all he didn’t take time to focus on the details. None of our pieces were square and many of us had wood that was warped because he had us purchase pre-milled wood. This caused tons of problems when we went to assemble including all the ugly gaps in the joints. I’ll be taking all my future shop courses at The Eliot School or the North Bennett St. School.
Buy these…. I’m pretty sure they’re shell.
