The only horse drawn work I get here is from the local Amish who have a shortage of smiths in this area. The horsey set has several farriers that deal with hooves, something I won't deal with. Finnr

A very rough figure would be twenty dollars per hour on things I run fairly quickly plus twice the cost of material. It will often be different , but that's a guideline of sorts. Finnr

When I eat out I leave my card with a forged leaf attached along with the tip. I has brought in a fair amount of sales. Finnr

Help choosing steel and hardening?
Finnr replied to Dentman's topic in Heat Treating, general discussion
My best slap hammer ( now used for armour ) is a section of leaf spring with a handle cut into it. I'll see if I can locate it in the black hole ( my basement ) and get a picture. Finnr -
