    LOL, it wasn't too bad. I'm trying to figure out where to go with his feet. The wall is pretty broken up and the shoe is fit tight everywhere. If I stick with 3/8 x 1 and fuller / punch deeper and fit the shoe fuller with a nicer shape, I think it will start to look a little stringy. I'm think maybe 1 1/4 and drawing it some and I'll be able to get a nicer shape with deep nails and not look stringy. My truck isn't much for bumping. I'm lucky to get a 1/2" into a bump.

    I think Tom meant you have his sympathy because you made those shoes from 13" of 3/8" x 13 1/2" stock. My advice is never bump 3/8"x 13.5" stock

    Or maybe you have his sympathy because it's a Halflinger.

    Eric, those feet look tricky. You may want to consider glue-ons.;)

    The one I do used to have feet that looked like that. They got a barefoot trimmer in there and he filed them till they were nice and pretty! :confused:
