SOME HAND-MADES

A pair of raised heels made from 14 1/2" of 3/4 x 3/8 concave Bumped
1 1/4" into each heel foot measured 5 1/4 x 5

Thanks David
Yes that concave can be hard to control
as some farriers down the years would tell me be gentle with it

could you use 3/4x1/2 and draw it down ?

dont know i have some lying about i think , i will have a look tomorrow

There is nothing like making them
i think its a better job IMO

yeah you can still get 3/4 x 1/2. Ive made some graduated bar shoes out of it in the last year

i meant making them John , i just wondered about drawing the section down might be easier ,

I would sooner Bump Chris

i find it easier drawing with flat/ square stock , i cannot recall doing it with concave , i do remember at leicester county folding the heels and fire welding but that might not have been graduated , it cold have been a spavin (set heel ) shoe . David Gulley showed us that way a long time ago

A good man is David

This is a graduated bar shoe i made at the horse last year. The section is 7/8 x 1/2 and i drew it down on the straight maintaining a 7/8 section width in the toe, the shoe had a 2 degree wedge and the way it was drawn allowed for extra toe wear as it is like 5/16" flat in the toe.

Horse is out of them now as it is sound and in Keerkhart classic rollers.

if your on the right side of him LOL . he has trained some top lads , i was at hereford with Kevin Green , top bloke

thats what i mean John , just like Marcs

I understood what you meant
i have done it in graduated egg bar with Aluminium and steel

sorry

Dont be sorry bye me a pint
