brianbrazealblacksmith Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Those are some nice handmade shoes. They look like competition shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Turley Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 That is a nice bouquet. Here, we have "shoeing displays in rectangular cases. The British patron saints of blacksmithing are St. Clement and St. Dunstan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 One of the celebrations for St Clems' day in the UK was held at Finch Foundry, a working water wheel powered forge. I have posted some pictures of the items made, and the waterwheel workings in the Blacksmiths Groups section Blacksmiths Guild UK under the title Blacksmiths gathering St Clems day It seems to be more of a blacksmiths event than a farriers here in the UK, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
