    never gave this a thought before, good to know. now i know why i wa asked if i had shrapnel or anything like that prior to an mri a few years back. that was before i started this business of hammering iron. it will be mentioned if i have to have another one. anyone getting care from the va should have had the question asked.

    andrew, all i can say at this point is wow. this just keeps getting better and better as you go along. chances are the 333 numbers are the entry number that she wore during the contest. dick (seldom)

    looks like the first one is for fairly thin material. the second one is special purpose but dont think its for pulling nails. reins are too long. usually nail pullers are shorter than that. nice haul. you will get a lot of use out of everything..

    i have used and keep a can on hand all the time of watkins petro-carbo salve. does a real nice job of drawing out splinters. dab some on area and put a bandaid on. should be out the next day or so. have used this stuff since the mid 40s and have never been without it.

    congrats, your gonna have fun. :)

    andrew, love the show you are giving us, its great. to my eye it appears that perhaps the feet are to far back at this point and the knee bent more than should be. in other words a longer stirrup length and a deeper seat. feet should be about even with the cinch. just my 2 cents and suggestions that i see. doing great, keep up the good work. seldom

    this trivet is the first one that i made with our forge master. it took more than one session but came out pretty good. i have orders for a couple mor but so far havent got my but in gear to do them, soon though. christmas is coming. nice job, better than mine. 1/2 inch stock, right?

    In 1970 when I was shoeing horses I picked up a 102 lb. Peter Wright for 40.00 In 2012 i picked up a 178 lb. Trenton for 250.00 Both are set up and used in my shop

    look good on the horse and it appears that they will work just fine.
  19. seldom (dick renker)
    stuart, it appears that you have run into the horn of your anvil a couple of times. ouch.
  20. seldom (dick renker)
    will give a neat texture to your work

    i have used wd40. works pretty slick.

    if this was in my shop i could not help but scratch his neck every time i walked by, much as i do my own living horses.

    andrew, dont worry about the grace being lost, i agree. however what you are seeing is what a horse under tack appears like. if and whenever the owners decide to remove the tack as you stated the grace will reappear. this is awsome. thanks so much for sharing this with all of us. seldom

    nicely done, miss rocky. keep listening to dad, he will help you go a long ways. just keep heating and hammering. :)
