plain stamped hand mades

thanks I hadn't remembered the author of the book.

What does all that mean Jaye?

Linda what section, lenth of iron,how you went about making it?
why do you not put nail=holes and finish the shoes

I screwed up......that section is 3/8 x 3/4 by forgot to measure; I think I cut 11"
so I made another hind....screwed it up again
I will post it here soon..........I did a 5/16 x 3/4 x 11.5
then was into the front and did same thing for the front shoe; theses of 3/8 th stock
and I cut stock of 5/16ths

Linda how did you screw up?
I don't understand the rest of it

i'll download the pic....went it can
i can believe what I did
working on the front shoe.....all wrong so I'll change it to something else.

4th nail hole too far back. Heel checks are too long. . .long checks are hard to fit, short checks are easier and round heels are the easiest to fit.

correct; I dropped not only the 3rd outside nail hole but the 4th heel nail is too low; heels one side never comes out. too sharp heel checks and long
shape not as good; trying to go to pattern and didn't go well; rework it to its shape; see what happens.
this should be interesting to watch if this changes the shoe altogether; but the nail placement won't change though.

Take a silver marker out grease pencil and put Assn "X" on the throat of the anvil on the far side. You should be able to see that "X" while your making your heel. If you can't you're not over top your enough

Malfunction in the photographic memory?

yeah, when it's up to unbearable heat index of 105*F

Delaware Park,......and at Fair Hill, Md area mostly......most are ex-racetrackers
Pennsylvania I have bought a home.

8 weeks ago a new customer called me and asked me to shoe their horse. When I got there I found that the horse and really run forward toes and the heel quarters were out over the sides of the shoes. I said nothing to the owner but thought to myself 'whoever did that didn't do a very good job, I'll soon sort that out'. So I took the toes back and shod it with plenty of length and width.

I went back yesterday and found that the toes had run forward and the heel quarters were over the sides of the shoes and I was glad that I had kept my mouth shut...

that will happen; because the foot always goes back where it was on the first shoeing; that is why it can take up to 3 shoeings before you see a change in the foot; and I always tell that too new clients.
they get mad at you when the foot goes back like the old farrier had {ps whether it was his fault or not}; so you "Always" tell them at minimum of 3 shoeings and it take a years growth; for the foot to totally change and stand up.

yeah, I'm not perfect

photographic doesn't mean always retain-able.
