woodtick Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 What steps are taken in preparing the chalks and shoes for forge welding the chalks on? When I say "preparing" I particularly mean is there any special scarfing for the welded joints? And I'm also thinking of heavy draft horse shoes with bar iron for toe chalks.

woodtick Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 Thanks bruce!, The reason I wasn't thinking of the heel chalks too much is because most of the new shoes sold here have extra long iron at the heels to be cut off or bent up for chalks. And if not I figured they would be welded the same as the toes. again thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
