A shoe shine is inconspicuous and modest, but such a convenient thing for country and country use! March is coming: imagine the joy of spring work on the site, and at the same time lumps of clay on rubber boots. I don’t want to clean my soles on the curb, because why then would I create cleanliness and beauty and improve the landscape. Shoe cleaners can be metal brackets or scrapers embedded in the concrete at the porch of a frame made of bent rebar or a steel strip, but an effective shoe cleaner can be created from forged elements - such an item will become a decoration and emphasize the style and solidity of the entrance area. Decrottoir is a French word that refers to a device for cleaning soles and is conveniently placed at the entrance to the house. A decrottoire can be bought or made with your own hands (crotto means dirt, and in the context of hooligan French idioms it’s even worse) - so the idea of the device is simple: a metal element with curls for beauty and a bracket for convenient support is firmly installed in the wall or in the ground cleaning the soles, and the shoes, of course, remain on the foot.
Device for cleaning shoes from snow, sand and dirt
Tools and materials
-Metal corner -Metal tire -Metal sheet -Screws -Shoe or sweeping brush 3 pcs.
-Welding machine -Angle grinder -Drill -Screwdriver (can be replaced with a screwdriver) -Paint Manufacturing process.
First you need to determine the dimensions of the future device. To do this, you need to proceed from the size of the brushes that you will use. The author uses 40 cm long sweeping brushes in his design. Therefore, the base will be 40 cm long. By the way, when choosing brushes, you should pay attention to their bristles; if it is too hard, it can harm the shoes; if it is too soft, it may not cope with the intended purpose. However, you can take one hard brush for the sole.
The master cuts a metal corner 30 cm long - 2 pieces, 20 cm - 4 pieces, a metal bar 40 cm long - 2 pieces. The tire can be replaced with the same corner.
Now the device won’t run away anywhere. The shoe cleaning device is ready. Got dirty?? You can start cleaning. We step on the platform with one foot, while the other, meanwhile, actively walks between the brushes. And then we change legs if you managed to get both legs dirty at once
