  1. Looks Like Randy has come out of the closet and made his first HORSESHOE Caleb went down the shed I had a piece of hoof the same as in your pic but I must have chucked it out in my last big clean up not too sure about the race horse question but I would guess they would have used lighter HORSESHOES on them plus they would have been weighted BUTIDOSTANDTOBECORECTED But I never had much to do with the race horse side of HORSESHOES Going by the pictures of all the HORSESHOES in the shop they wouldnt have used any of them on a pacer or trotter B S Pete
  2. G-Day Caleb they actuauly look like horses hoofs and it looks like peacock has just beaten me to saying that yes they do exactly hat I have some in the shed with the horseshoe still underneath and it curled up at the heels just like the pic B S Peter

  4. John B your spot on 1 good hit is all it takes none of this tapping I see so often the fence idea is good I use to use this but you still have to get your spacing correct Beth when you are using stamps and your fingures are about an inch away from the steel trust me you dont want it too hot also the steel will be cleaner B S Pete
  5. Hi Mark Heres my 2 cents worth I do letter punch stamping all the time and have found free had to work best for me stamping into hot material [black heat] gives best results also I find the when placing each stamp the first position is usually the best the more I fidle fart around trying to line up each letter the harder it is there is a set of interchangable stamps you can buy made by pryor very costly but do work well iI use them in a presS Good luck B S Pete
