    Basically floating the back half, taking force off DDFT and letting the SFT take more?

    Thank u Linda..your being kind... I'm assume smitty will throw the shoe in the clinker bucket if off on measurement so not to grind ... What do others do??? Is there a way to correct it with out starting over ..of course figure my stretch out will solve it but I ain't there yet..

    Remember how you measured make the shoe, then measure backwards on the shoe.

    Oh and lots of practice so that you get consistent.

    Also. . .break out the 15 inch straight grinder . You'll either learn really quick or have arms that are in really great shape.

    Everyone is different. . .biggest factor is how much you forge the steel as opposed to just turning it. How are you measuring?
