nice work Tom probley one of the hardest shoes to make right
you normally get twenty mins to make one in compitition

you could have picked an easier shoe for xmas presseys
what you make it out of 10 1/2 inc of 1 x 1/2

Seems to me that's what we used. We built a bunch of them that day - my mentor and I working in the fire together. Each heat he would work his shoe, then I would follow with my shoe copying what he did on his. I just wanted to do the forging exercise. Now I can't even remember the sequence to build one.

ok i belive that that pair of shoes are c w hunter shoes not carrage shoes as they are fullered block iron c w driving shoes would be flat bar left full thickness at the toe then thin down towards the heel leaving the full thickness to make the heels now the shoes should sit level with heels against being rasied heeled now the flat shoe would last longer i was lucky enough to shoe the last of the gyspy horses that traveled england just to give you a bit inflow we used to split iron wagon tires to make these shoes and your right two shire shoes make one cob shoe two cob make one hunter two hunter make one pony bar iron would not be wasted on horse shoes i was 16 years old used a two and a half pound hammer and a 14 pound sleage hammer as a striker thrashing these lumps about have any of you boys seen a three and two handled sleage hammer took a lot of practice to use one

Damn that's a big hammer!

Hi Roy got a chance to have a good at the tool and fullered pair
see you tightened up your toe on both shoes and your fullering

is starting a bit early
i prefered the first shoe out of the three

this is just to keep you making more so i and every body can
view your nice work

I thought the first one started a bit late and overcompensated.

Here's another front-

This is driving me nuts. I think I'm just going to buy the guide-fuller and see if that helps unless somebody has a better idea.

I don't get why the hinds are coming out OK and the fronts are putting up such a fight. :confused:

Roy Amaral CJF OFFLINE Very Senior Member Posts: 567 Karma: 0	I think I've figured out the problem. Heat changes how the fuller sets into the section. I was fullering from left to right trying to do the whole shoe in one heat, as I ran out of heat the fuller dosen't slide down the concave inner edge as much. That's why the hinds were coming out more consistently. I"m only fullering one branch at a time after I break the toe.

I posted this in modifying machine shoes and haven't got much feed back, thought I'd post it here and see if I have any luck. Constructive critisizm welcomed. I'm still learning....

Onion heel out of 10 1/2inch of 3/8 by 1. I dont have a fuller for this work so it is all done by hammer and creaser. It' my first attmpt so go easy on me....

ps Did you see B Pethicks onion heel, INCREDIBLE....

Its a hind shoe on the convention list.

Brian, nice shoe for you first one. I've made a couple, they seem to be coming out really nice and before I know it they're ready for the s**** pile.

I don't think Bob actually used a fuller on his shoe. I'm pretty sure it was all done with hammer and creaser. At least that's how I did mine.
