Made a pair of plain stamps for a friend of ours to go on a show pony. Had to measure 4 3/8" width by 4 3/4 " length. Tiny things.
bet you two will rasp the heels then LOL . i reckon your fit would end up too full for a show pony in the ring , a driving pony yes but under saddle or in hand i think there would be too much steel there .
Methinks that foot is a wee bit contracted in the heels . . . at least that's how I'm imagining a foot on that shoe.
Smitty mark chris how do yall come up with your steel measurements using length and width ??? I just measure the perimeter and subtract roughly 2" if fullered and about 1 1/2" if just plain stamped Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Maybe L+W+2*stock width+a little bump 4 3/4 + 4 3/8 + 1 1/2 = 10 5/8, by the time you bump a pinch you'd be close to 10 1/2 Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
i think the best advice i can give is go make shoes for feet making plain stamps,3/4 fullereds, concave on all types of feet and see what you come up with we all forge differently
Smitty if you told me to put my boots on the wrong feet and id forge better id probably try it haha i really admire your work and all you contribution to the site Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
yes, when I started swaging racing plates 1990+; I had stretched out up to 1 1/2 inches....I thin the steel to much!!!.......later I [ as of 2006] swaged out only 1 inch in my steel. hit deeper in place on the swage block. Should swage out again; and see if it is consistent or not.
