Boller & Hodge Bridge Shoe

Boller & Hodge Standard
I found a drawing of a bridge shoe that looked like it would work for what I needed.
My version was more of a B&H type then a direct copy. I wanted to get them 3d printed so I needed drawings .. but had no burning desire to make an exact copy of the Boller & Hodge shoe.
3d Print
This is the bridge shoe as I received it from Shapeways. I love this stuff.
Riser
The last thing was to fix what I had messed up. Remember, I made the bridge seat way low as I had read the dimensions from the wrong column. I just figured they would have (in a similar circumstance) knocked together a riser from channel iron. I fiddled around a bit until I was happy with the result.
Finished
I was looking and realized I hadn’t posted up a photo of the finished shoe – so here you go.

Looking at the photo closely .. they are great for that .. I see that I need to remove some fuzz .. and REALLY need to insert a thin spacer between the shoe and bridge. All in all though I think it came out pretty good.
