Description: Clogs

This tutorial will teach you how to make one pair of clogs. (This is the real production, is made with a piece of oak, rather than simply sticking up only three parts.) Production process is very simple, but you still need a certain degree of carpentry techniques. I have produced a longbow wood and other things, I am more familiar with carpentry

This pair of clogs made use of oak.

1 Select the timber

• Wood choice is very important.
• You do not want to wear a pair full of cracks and holes in the shoes right.
• In the following photos, I have two feet according to the size of the timber were measured and cut.
• Should be based on the size of your feet, leaving one centimeter margin, because even after finishing clogs.

• This is not dealt with oak.

2 mill began to grind ah

• Now, you need to do is to use sandpaper to rough the surface of polished wood (I use the sandpaper of 120 particles).
• After a grinding finish, do not forget there is another.
• (This step spent about five hours of time, because I want to make a pair of fine clogs)

• Looks very nice, right? I suggest you make this project, do not use any power tools (except after the drill may be used), because this project would not get five minutes, and Eat Hot Tofu. .

3 key gear

• When you are ready to make clogs the teeth, I want to solemnly remind you one.

Slow - slow - to -

• First, the location of the tooth needs to be installed and marked
• Clogs the location and height of the tooth is not mandatory, but I highly recommend not less than four centimeters. (I have seen some clogs up to seventeen centimeters!!!)
• With a chisel and hammer slowly plane.
• Be careful not to clog teeth to dig broken.
• Of course, the two shoes have to dig: P
• In addition, the front should be slightly longer than the back. This walking more convenient.

• Mark the beginning

• This is a chisel, wood in the photo where it is blocked

• Looks good

• First slowly clogs teeth "saw it", and then use a chisel plane

• Bottom view, these places need to patch about: P

4 mill began grinding ah

• Polished wood rasp clogs the bottom, until smooth

• This is the name that I do not know a tool: P

• Continue grinding.

• Polished only clogs a long time ago, but still look very nice now: P

• In the sun

5 rounded corners, reinforced gear clogs

• Now, the pick up wood rasp, rounded a corner as far as possible.
• And then polished again, it looks bright and clean.
• Then coated with resin oil again.
• Completed, you will need to reinforce what clogs teeth.
• First, drill two holes on each tooth, and then poured into the glue, and then hammer and knock a plug column, and then cut off the excess part.
• Wait for the glue solidified.
• Waiting, you can consider Hanao (lace) hole location. Drill them out (in this step, you can use an electric drill, but I use a hand drill).

• Rounded corners.

• Oil ah oil.

• This would not have broken teeth clogs, wooden ha ha ha ha.

6 sewing Hanao

• hanao refers to the clogs on the tape that is very thick. I have a hemp laces the core, wrapped in a layer of resilient wool.
• I forgot to take pictures at the time sewing, but this step is nothing more difficult. You just according to their size sewing feet should not be a problem.

(If necessary, it is best to drill the hole a little too big and I had to make when the drill three times XD)

• hanao
• Has already done this only

7 clogs completed

• When you solve the little hairs that may exist disease and Hanao firmly installed in the wood above, you can put it on, get out, let the world see your clogs (geta at least let them hear the sound)
• (Probably in a week, I posted a rubber sole clogs teeth, so the sound issue too loud)
