This steel rocker jig was designed and made by Dr. Redden to aid in rockering all types of shoes on your anvil.
View a video of Dr. Redden Rockering a Rail Shoe.
Also we have included a Rocker Slideshow with tips below.
- Put your shoe in the forge.
- Start rockering at the heel.
- Work the hammer towards the toe.
- The heels automatically curl inward with the rocker.
- Soften the heel. Concentrate on the inside branch.
- Make a smooth transition along the foot surface.
- The toe naturally bows due to rocker. Forge it out.
- This forging move prevents sole pressure.
- Check the balance of the shoe from heel to toe. This is very important.
- Set the shoe squarely on the anvil and very gently balance the shoe on four contact points.
- Use a dead blow technique to balance the 4 points.
- Polish the heel smooth. Remove all hammer marks.
- Shoe spreaders work greate to open the shoe.
- Take a post x-ray to determine if your mechanics and placement are correct.
