Nope. Will do tomorrow. I'll try to make a pair of hinds, 3/4 fullered from 3/8 by 1 inch. Some 15 inches I think. May even nail them on if I don't...
Glad you are busy. Whenever you have the time, there's no hurry. I've been messing up nailholes for years, a few more days will make no difference.
Oh, nothing's up, just the usual. People arguing over nothing, some name calling, computer mess ups, me still trying to forge something that looks...
Just don't tell him what he missed, he may never show up again....:(
I do the same, Chris, and never thought there is a problem with nailhead fit in doing so, but rick and Smitty here got me doubting this now. I am...
That would be beautiful if you have the time, thanks a lot.
In Rick's pictures, he punched straight down, with no pitch to the punch. As a result, the outside of the fullering does not have good contact with...
I mean that the pitch of the nailhead in the picture is exactly what the fullering dictates. How should one go about it when we want different pitch,...
Thanks for this picture, Smitty, it gives me the opportunity for a question I always wanted to ask. The vertical side of the fullering helps...
Pardon the ignorance, but what exactly does "cutting the shoes off" mean ? What exactly did this man do ?
IMHO this also works the other way around in soft footing. I am not familiar with all the theories and have no opinion on them, but the way I...
I am not against them and I do not claim to know how to use them properly, but everytime I've tried I more or less destroy the shape, the flow of...
Glad you made it, Red, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
As for the length of the heels, if it was a customer's horse and they ended up that long for whatever reason I'd cut them shorter before nailing....
No need for that, Gary, I see nothing unkind there or anywhere else towards me for that matter. Even if somebody is a bit rough or abrupt in his...
I have made some 10 pairs the last couple of years, never put one on a horse before today. I have never seen someone making a handmade live, only...
I have been nailing shoes on horses for some 20 years. But I wouldn't call all of that shoeing, let alone farriery.
Thanks Kim, yes, it was kind of scary and difficult to do everything at once. It was a lucky outcome, I need to work on individual tasks to improve...
Yes, they are. I purposely erred towards long in the measurements because I wanted it to go on the horse for sure, I have no other horse on that size...
Well, that was a very lucky guess then. There are many times I work through the weekend and take some other days off. It's the way it is here, many...
