2018 Sep 18 - Heel Forks

Heel Forks
These are used to make a heel or toe on the CSM

NEW D.I.Y.: Ultra Compact Heel Forks!
I used eBay purchased “Silver Olive Seafood Crab Lobster Forks” CAD$3.80/5 pcs (includes S&H).

These heel forks are easy to manipulate due to their small profile. The fork itself is easy to determine orientation when inside the machine by the base - where its easy to tell which direction the tines are inside the machine - making it all the more easier to move as needed inside the machine.

Heel Forks using Pastry Blenders (Sep 18/18)

Sharing an idea I had with using Pastry Blenders - an idea that has been had by others - first perhaps by Pat Fly (see below).

Each heel fork is HALF of a pastry blender that was cut, each metal tine reinforced with gorilla glue due to the tines only being crimped in place. Each metal end is bent as shown. The weights you see were handmade crochet covered Walmart Fishing weights. The Pastry Blenders were purchased from Amazon.ca “Pastry Blenders”. Pat Fly reference
