Default First sale

I made my first sale. Totally unintentional too.
My typical MO has been to give stuff away to friends and family. Well, I made this one for a friend that owns horses, after I told her that I "didn't do horseshoes". She asked if could, so I did.

They all started out as scrap pieces of 5/16 roundthree to four inches long.My typical finish is to wire-wheel to silver, color with heat and coat with beeswax. As simple or basic as it is, this could be an easy blueprint for beginners to follow.

They say God has a sense of humor, and he made my first sale doing what I said I wouldn't do.I guess He's laughing now.



the hand is hers and I made enough to pay for three refills of bbq bottle gas refills.
