Re: So I am going to start making Typewriter Feet...
I did the little thing on the top of the new foot to make it look original, and it did not come out good. The mold does not have that, so just imagine it with a smooth top, not the small slope thing... I did that with scissors...

The opening in my Blick comes out to 12.35 mm. Should be close enough. Let me know where to send money!

Silicone. zIts a little softer than regular rubber, but does the job well.

Sounds pretty cool! Do you need to use a sample of a foot to get a mold?
Smith Premier typewriters are cool!

No, although if I have not seen one in person before, then one would be nice to base the new one off the old one. I only need the typewriter for measurements.

Corona Four feet were successful. If anyone needs them or the Blick feet, PM me.

Re: So I am going to start making Typewriter Feet...
Now making feet for the early Royal model 10... If anyone has a late model, please tell me because I think they have different style feet and I would like to make them of late models too.
