RockyAussie Report post Posted April 19, 2017 This is a video of me doing the finish coat edging by hand on a large run of hornback belts.For a few years this is how all edging on my belts was done including the first coats and all. Although I have built an edging machine that does both sides at the same time, I find that the up and down edge on hornback is better finished by hand as shown.The pictures below shows one of the two racks I made for this purpose. I intend to do a couple more videos using the edging machines and other steps over the next few weeks. Follow me if you want notification updates.

Keen to see your DIY edge finishing machine! Here is a couple of pics of it for now. At the time there did not seem to be any machine specific for the job, about 20 years ago I'd guess.The tongue tips I do separately on a single edge machine.

bikermutt07 Report post Posted April 20, 2017 It's nice as a hobbyist to get a peek into the production setting. It gave me some thoughts on repition even for a smaller scale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although the racks come in handy for repetitive work the application technique with the edging method I think should be useful on one off projects as well. I hate seeing people playing around with pencils and little brushes and such when I know a good finish must be applied quickly and evenly. If I do a single key tag it's pretty much the same technique. Regards Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
