thanks for welcoming me!
im still pretty shy of good metal manual tooling..but im making do for now!
re: the flat track shoe...the bottom of it has a layer of hardfacing on it. i guess it depends on track use and the rider for how long it will last before it needs to be hardfaced again. There are also some people who make the shoes that just braze the hardface to the surface whereas since i didnt have an electrode holder for my tig/stick welder, i wound up tigging the stuff on there as i was under the impression some penetration was important.
