    No Smitty, I take ownership of the "big front"
    You'll not hear any excuses from me other than, it was a fun afternoon of shoeing a draft with my buddies getting ready for a four man team contest.

    Steven Comer and I made that he was striking, first time anything had been run thru the block and first for the guide fuller as well, it is punched pretty fine. I think we should have use a slimmer fuller too.

    I have the same problem with my block.. I quit using the guide fuller and just use a splitter and really pitch it on the first pass then stand it up to drive in the depth. Those Derek Gardner hunter fullers are pretty sweet for tool and fullered.

    What are ya'll making them for.. you got a team for the classic?

    We used a Derek Gardner guide fuller, We had a little get together yesterday. I'd only made one and he had never made one so we had at it.
