Chulse04715 Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 I was wondering if anyone could help.. trying to locate a bunk wheel/crow wheel, used for decorating soles usually around the heel breast and around the stitching. Not even to sure if bunk wheel/crow wheel is the right terminology. Can’t find them anywhere. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 I bought an old one off ebay to create the lined pattern around the heel, I think it was called a fudge wheel!! I use the ones above from Tandy for the sole bottoms. keithm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chulse04715 Posted August 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 We’v already got a fudge wheel it’s the sort of triangle patterns you get round the stitching we were after. Here’s an example. Gonna have a look at Randy leather but I wouldn’t have thought they still produced them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Woodware Repetitions hold or held all the old Barnsley tools after they ceased trading. But the are so antiquated they have no web presence and even still type their invoices. I brought from them only a year or two ago so I assume they are still with us. Get yourself a meths burner from them also. heating up the tools makes a massive difference to the end result. And whilst your at it. get an iron to close down your stitching grove the times I see pictures on social media of a half tidy repair with a ragged stitching grove, its like those who get pictured the union jack inside out like Laura Kenny at the cycling last night, both wind me right up!

Arford Enterprises Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Hi, I know it’s 3 years late, but we still make them here at Arford Enterprises in Kettering, Northants. Our website is in need of an update really to give us more of an online presence, as there does seem to be quite a lot of interest in bunk/fudge and crow wheels as well as seat wheel/sliding box wheel which we make also. I’m not sure if you’ll pick this thread up after this amount of time, but feel free to contact us if we can help. info@arfordenterprises.co.uk 01536 483662 kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
