Has it ever been apart? Are the jets centered in the tubes? I don't know how true it is but, I was told that if you take the rail off and don't get it back on with the jets centered then it won't burn right.

I took a nail and marked the rail on both sided of the pipes before I loosened the bolts. Then when I put it back on with new jets/orifices/whatever you want to call them; I made sure it was in exactly the right place before I tightened it down.

Hope that helps

I gain since I still fight the bad habit of trying to kill the steel.

Do the liners bust up much in those? The ones I've been around had busted up liners but got really hot fast and stayed hot.

The mechanics are fairly simple. The center of weight bearing is under the center of the coffin bone. If you set the shoe back far enough eventually the foot will flip forward. (search for banana shoe and you see it in action)To get the heels to not crush you want to set the shoe back far enough so the wedges won't crush the heels but not so far back that the foot flips forward. The problem with doing this is it only takes into account static balance and doesn't begin to consider dynamic balance.

Manipulating the foot to get what you want can easily be accomplished. Setting up static balance and dynamic balance to get what you want can be difficult.

Really cool thanks

Nothing personal, Lynn, just my own personal crusade for accuracy. It's the engineer in me.



That is a number 2 wedge pad. not a two degree wedge pad. It is somewhat more than 4 degrees. I'm sure both your vet and your farrier refer to it as a 2 degree pad,so you also do, but it isn't 2 degrees. I probably can't change the industry, but I'll give it a try. Some pad numbers do relate to degrees, but most do not. In degrees, most are about twice the number and it's confusing. For all owners, ask your vet if they want 2 degrees or a number 2 pad. They're not the same.

What forge do you use now Rick?

A shoe lifts the frog off the ground so you wouldn't see any problems until you try to utilize it as a weight bearing structure, ie, bar wedge.

Sounds like you may need new jets. At 15psi you should just about be melting the steel. Back when I used a Whisper Mama I usually ran 5-7 psi for normal forge work and 10-12 psi for welding.

I agree and stated I left much to be desired on the pitch of the lateral side.

Cody, I punched a heel nail but when it came down to nailing it I declined because it looked rolled under too much for nailing.

Seth, you are correct that I use that pattern often. I'm trying to pay more attention to the foot so I can compliment it with the nailing as opposed to just using whatever.
