Just when I make something that looks presentable I see one of smitty's shoes and realize how bad mine looks..........LOL Super great job smitty!

Smitty,

you just make it as a normal bar shoe get one of your old fullers
and come down the side til your half way through
then put a plate of somthing soft under the shoe

come down harder with your fuller til she breaks off
you dont reck the fuller

give the edge a lick of the rasph

I got home yesterday after work and felt like making a pair of shoes while enjoying a drink, and the radio. These aren't anything pretty. They were just turned, punched, and cliped. I generaley never use Quarter clips on front shoes but I wasn't thinking straight when I punched these shoes. These are punched for a MX-50. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you.
