    It was in such bad shape that virtually nothing came off the bottom. And I dressed what I was comfortable with from the top.

    I think a contour gauge would be helpful. And I definitely agree that he is flared in the lateral quarter.

    Still working on clip fitting.

    It hasn't. That said, the AFA does require a perimeter fit and has guidelines for dealing with wall distortions.

    Larry, Moe, Shemp, and Curly. Certification applicants are required to build a 1 heat fullered, egg bar, banana, roadster with a toe clip to fit each pattern using re-bar. Time limit, 12 minutes.

    Norman, Spike, Stubby, Ralph, and Tag. Remember reading about them in Butler's P3.

    Will try to start committing them to memory.

    I'd say that Draft cross fits the Ralph shape.

    As i said before kim you need to get under more horses
    even just to trim them.

    your foot prep needs alot of work
    same goes for fitting shoes and yourN/F
    so i would start with the basic and work your way up

    to bigger things.
    you need to be with someone twice a week + to get a head

    other wise its going to be a long haul for you
    all your doing at the moment is picking up bad habbits

    yes very strict now, Maryland passed a law just a few years back that anyone who's watches your children in their house/or the parents home must be a licensed child care worker that includes your own mother and father watching grandchildren after 20 hours per month.

    I wasn't able to work legally until 12 years old, Dairy Queen @$1.10 an hour. I fed cattle, cleaned stalls and threw hay. cut grass and raked leaves until then...... excuses are like ; well most of us know..... Clarity of circumstance(s) is what was realized in my young life. Now, i take care of my mother with what she needs "in everyday life".
