CobblerG Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Whatsup fellow cobblers! Hope everyone is doing great especially in the situation we all find ourselves in! I've been itching to get back since lockdown to continue this great trade! I hope people who run their own businesses aren't going to be affected too much from all of this Covid-19 stuff! Just recently finished my latest video and uploaded to YouTube would love all you guys to check it out once again and any feedback is greatly appreciated! Stay safe fam! Mad Respect!

I used dylon leather dye black and brown bro, sanded the surface to prep then once applied the dye allowed it to almost dry then buffed it on the machine, done this 2 to 3 times to get the finish. kobblers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithm Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 What I would say is that I’ve seen a lot worse produced in the last 18 years since I retired from repairing. Congratulations in turning out a quality job and very well done on the video, semi pro I think! Young Guys like this should Be encouraged not criticised and helped along the way, most of us started where he is and perfected our work over time. I’m sure his work will be better in the future as he picks up tips along the way, like we all did. soleman2, CitySafe, CobblerG and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom D Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 perhaps cut the kid some slack he should be encouraged . ffs he works for timpsons hes good for his years when i was a relief for them i worked with people who had been there 30 odd yrs and still didnt have a clue? , so he looks a bit sheepish on an outsoler , recon i do , and ive been using one for 39yrs, at least he shows his repairs through facebook , how many on here do? hes the future of this business just saying hibsjo(SCO), CobblerG, cre and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
