    I don't get why you would go to all that trouble & time of swedging your metal to form your contour & profile . Then not throw a line block in your hardy which takes 30 seconds & take the guess work out of it. helping you to prevent crappy all over the place fullerring like in the video clip. :confused:

    What's a line Block you might ask ? Its a flat surfaced hardy with a 1/4" raised cutting edge running down the middle of it & a adjustable or fixed side fence running parallel to the cutting edge. The fence sitting slightly higher then the cutting edge .Set & spaced so you have the right location & distance in from the edge to fuller at . The principle is to take your hot stock place it up against the fence & lightly hammering the top of the bar leaving an impression on the opposite side as you draw you bar along. It leaving a perfectly measured indented line from the edge of the bar that then can be easily followed with your fuller. It is usually incorporated after the toe bend has been made & with good judgement utilising it. Only applying a marked line where the fullering is to take place on the shoe.
