I have some 3* wedge aluminum shoes I bought for 25 cents; yes for $0.25 ........here in the states......they are big enough to practice making a small #1 bar alu barshoe 3* wedge/ or leave it as #3 wedge shoe for a warmblood/TB cross.

i would prefer making them if i could
i also like working with ali

you have to; they are not even punched; just plain stock that is sized out and wedged; you have to do the rest.
it's the 25 cents = 1 pence is what I was trying to get you jealous about
