    This is the way most young lads go about a 3/4 fullered
    H 1 jump the toe
    H2 toe bend and mark the toe with your fuller
    H3 outside heel and hem your branch and mark to the heel with fuller
    H4 turn outside branch fuller and put nail holes in
    the same for the inside and then 1 heat for clip or 2 for a hind

    some lads can shave off a heat or 2
    but thats more or less how many heats

    My easiest way is to have the pic in my picture file in my computer. Then pull it up as "upload a file". Then it gives you 2 sizes for your pictures and you pick one. Is this what you're looking for?

    George, scanning in??? Who does that anymore? You can take film to Walgreen's and they'll put it on cd. Much easier. Or get a digital camera, pull the memory chip out, put it in your computer slot, and the computer will tell you what to do.

    The file error thing may be because the picture you're uploading is too big. I can explain what to do, but I'm sure someone can explain it better.

    John did you have shop bought fullers or home made? I have a lovely one Richard Elis made for me for doing him a favour one day. I mainly use a Jim Keith as they are nice to use. The Mustad one seems good value for money.

    I'll try. Scan/upload pics to computer "pictures".
    Go to Photobucket and open an account. Then find the upload button, and it will go to your computer file and you choose one, and at the bottom click open. Back at PB, you upload.

    The picture now has an address, actually 4. The 2nd one down is probably the one you need. Copy address and go to farrier site . In your post, you'll see a pic of a tree at the top. Click that, and it will askfor the URL.

    I hope someone can explain this better. Or tell you how to shrink the pic so it can be uploaded straight up to your post.

    Trust Me Ray the hammer second from the right was a cats head hammer, I ground it down to that shape took a few hours and a few belts on the grinder. I cut the tit off and the drawing flat that was in the midle and ground about 3/4 of a pound off it. It is a lovely hammer to use and was cheap to buy if you dont count the man hours.

    You're an embarassment to the trade for refusing to learn new skills!
    (LOL)
    Trade in the grandpa phone and use the tapatalk app; you can take the pics with your phone and post them from it, too.
    If, after you get the phone, you have trouble, just go to a playground with a sack of candy and ask the kids if they wanna see pictures on your phone. ;)
