Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Now that finish due in part to pre-finished soles not absorbing to much stain look very acceptable, they do not look as though they have been "Tangoed" and the appearance is quite natural. One tip Lee on the Health & Safety aspect. 1st few pics show a trimmed sole that has an incorrectly adjusted guard allowing the leather to flare out and leave a considerable amount of feathering. This would also indicate that there could be room for fingers to go if "snatching" was to occur. Properly adjusted it would save time in having to remove the excess on the Scourer afterwards. ~I presume that you are using a wide multi purpose cutter and not individual size stepped ones.

I actually don't like using trimmers of any description and use them rarely! this lip is created through scouring round the sole. I actually like it as it helps stop any edging ink from ending up on the sole. Trimmers are for speed, something I'm not used too! Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Problem solved. Never thought about scouring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcobbler Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 instead of doing a half moon at the waist,i nom keg the waist then bottom stain or use mid tan kiwi so its a whole through finish looking the same colour always looks tidy.good template lee for the waist makes the job alot easier,i can remember training doing the half moon and they never seem to match the same height or shape on a pair of shoes.

Peter / Sweden Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I don't use any color . I just use uncolored wax. We have one brush on our machine ONLY for this use. (To keep it clean). First of all, i always sand the sole on the naumkeag and mark it with our company name. Then i sand it with the finest sand paper by hand a little bit more, to get rid of all the small marks. If it is a competition work, i don't use the naumkeag, i use the finest sandpaper i can find from start. It take a while, but what a finish! Then i paint it the way i like. Let dry. Here i put the wax on. Ready! This is how i do on every day work. Peter / Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Nice job Peter though Im not sure that the soles need scouring on the naumkeg, perhaps just the edges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
