So the Flat Track and Speedway Motorbike Racing Hot Shoe went out to have the hard facing put on and came back looking like a banana. It's time to do some repair work! The Hot shoe had deformed due to the welding heat from applying the hard surfacing. Due to the thickness of the hard surfacing on the shoe of the hot shoe it required the liberal application of heat to form it back to it's original shape. I started out with the Oxy Acetylene torch ... that ran out of oxygen, so out to the forge it went ... That ran out of charcoal ... Lets just say this hot shoe repair turned out to be quite a big job! I ended up having to cut the heal out of the hot shoe and extend the shoe to get the motorbike boot to fit. Then came the job of grinding out all of the forging marks and polishing it back to it's original surface finish. Let the Flat Track and Speedway Motorbike Racing Hot Shoe Repair begin!

Rob, you are a bloody GENIUS! I felt completely sick to my stomach when I went in to collect this after hard facing, and even more sick when I had to ring you up to tell you what had happened. Thanks for being so understanding and doing an absolutely amazing job fixing it. I’ll come by and collect it when we’ve got back to normal again. Cheers mate xxxxxxx

No problem mate. I know how stoked you were when it was done the first time so it's only right I have a good go at sorting it out. It's not perfect but it's a darn sight better than it was when you gave it me haha. Hopefully this virus is all over soon and you can take it for a test ride!! Stay safe.

Whatever weld/fabrication shop your friend used needs to hire new workmen who either know what their doing or could say "this process wont work"

@Handmadeextreme 4 года назад

I think they were a press tool manufacturer that he uses through his work. Very talented people but I expect they were used to dealing with much thicker material and just lacked the experience working with thin sheet metal.

Steel shoes are a specialist job. The cold-formed, mild-steel shoe with brazed-on hard facing (colmonoy or similar) evolved in the 1950s and is still the standard today.

I feel for you. Excellent craftsmanship!

Thanks very much. Its never easy when you see your hard work get messed up. but.. adapt and overcome ..and all that.. Thanks for watching.

Man they really heated that up looks like they used a industrial ark welder lol.

@Handmadeextreme 4 года назад

Those were my first thoughts too but from what I've been told they tig'd on the hard face rather than brazing it on. It's only meant to be a thin layer...

@rich3633 3 года назад

I think the ark was made of wood.

I love it 🙂👍

Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed it.

@moondarck 4 года назад

Wouldn't it be easier to make a new one? Admire your determination though.

@Handmadeextreme 4 года назад

In hindsight... probably. yes. 😂 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

Next time tack on a thicker plate on the bottom and when it get holes replace it. On a dirt track it will take years before it goes bad. Cheers

@rich3633 3 года назад

Could you not use a consumable sole/ wear plate out of mild steel? Super cheap and easy to replace when worn. On second thoughts maybe stainless as it work hardens. Dunno, that's what id do. Cheers dude.

Cheers, thanks for all the support.

Why didn't Danny come back to you to do the hardening? I bet you were gutted when he gave it you back in that state.

@Handmadeextreme 4 года назад

I didn't have the Oxy Torch at the time. I've had to borrow it to do this repair. Ideally the hard face would be brazed on but I've never tried to Tig braze a surface coating so didn't fancy trying on something I'd just spent two days making....Perhaps I should have.. If i'd had the Oxy at the time then yeah i'd have done it. It basically boiled down to timing and access to the right tools. Yeah it's never nice to see your work messed up. That said, I quite enjoyed fixing it haha

Ken Maely is rolling in his grave over this shoe. I've built 3 shoes and found and was taught cold forming saves a lot of heat and looks better. Especially the toe cap.all cold hammered. For what it's worth.

@joshuagosling3341 4 года назад

Wow! Thankfully he knows you! What was the hard finish that they put on? Could he not of used plastic bolt on sections to replace once worn down?

@Handmadeextreme 4 года назад

Hey Josh. It was a Colmony hard facing. I think plastic might wear a bit too fast to be practical but the idea of a sacrificial wear plate is starting to sound appealing. 👍

Great job in fixing someone else's balls up. Been there once or twice. What part of the UK are you in?

@Handmadeextreme 4 года назад

Thanks very much. I'm based near Loughborough in the East Midlands. Junction 23 M1.

@colinstu 4 года назад

omg what did they do to it!

@Handmadeextreme 4 года назад

From what Danny told me after he had picked it up they had Tig'd on the hard facing rather than brazing it so it got way too hot. Then they tried to press it back to flat. Made a bit of a mess unfortunately.

@colinstu 4 года назад

@@Handmadeextreme that sucks! at least you got it back up to snuff, great work.

@Deutschehordenelite 4 года назад

that thing will never break lol

@Handmadeextreme 4 года назад

That's the plan haha. Thanks for watching!

@stevegriffin2626 2 года назад

Building that bottom out of slight thicker material would work and not doing the case Harding. Especially when your using stainless. It would take YEARS to thin it beyond use… Years !!!

@peterthompson7859 4 года назад

Should have just asked you to make a second sole to weld to the bottom, stainless is pretty hardwearing on its own, and you could have just ground edges off and reattached a new one if and when it wore out

@Handmadeextreme 4 года назад

I did consider this when I first made it. Having a sacrificial sole would have been less work in the long run. If I ever make another one I might give it a go. I could do with some more heavy duty forming tools first though.
