Nice job verbilizing your thought process / next moves, especially subtle things like that last step boxing at the grinder on the lateral rather than tighten the branch. For non-Farriers, maybe mention why your medial was acceptable tight, but lateral acceptable fat, lol. 'Lube is your friend', lol. Good job Gavin.
Why do you fuller first and gather the section after? On a handmade you'd sweeten (or gather or maybe there's another word for it) and then fuller once your section was prepped, right?
Well on a keg shoe I’m trying to gain length by fullering like this. The fuller blows it out and then you can gather your section back up and flatten to gain more length. On a handmade, you would hem the branch a little where your fullering starts to help create less work and become more efficient by not having it blow out as much so you can utilize the heat longer and get more done in that heat.
