cobblers.keys Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 I am looking for something like a fudge wheel or similar to put a pattern /marking around the the edge ( from stitch to outside edge) of the leather soles when I have resoled shoes before staining to put a nice looking finish to the job because sometimes when they get outsole stitched it puts a rough looking finish on this area so by running a fudge along should cover it and make a smart finish at the same time. So if anyone has a spare one could you please let me know? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers.keys Posted August 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Thanks Kobblers, I can't see any prices with these also they are calling what I thought was a fudge wheel a stitch wheel. Is there a difference between the two? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I've always known them as fudge wheels but I suppose that doesn't preclude them from having other colloquialisms Think I'll treat myself to a new one. Can anyone explain what a forepart setting tool and a bunk wheel does as I've never heard of either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers.keys Posted August 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I am interested as well and if there are some ways of seeing news ways of finishing then I am happy to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers.keys Posted August 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I have just found these hand Tools whilst looking through some boxes in my store room. Should do the job when cleaned up. Not sure what the 3 with tan handles would be used for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
