Spots Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I wanted to make something nice for my Aunt and Uncles recently built cabin and decided on a hat/coat rack, with horseshoe holders for coal oil lamps. I forged out the metal flat bar, punched the holes, then peened in the cross bar, added several hooks. I then welded up the hoseshoes for lamp holders, and used a plunge router to cut in the names.

swedefiddle Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Good Morning, Looks good. Some people say that the horseshoe hung upside down "lets all the Luck Run Out". :) Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spots Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Good Morning, Looks good. Some people say that the horseshoe hung upside down "lets all the Luck Run Out". :) Neil Which shoe is upside down? The vertical shoe is the same way it would be hung on a farriers rack, and the horizontal shoe is the same way it would be put on the horse. So if its upside down there are a lot of unlucky horses in this world. And thanks for the compliments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldironkilz Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 After all, what is a horseshoe but a crescent shaped piece of steel. It can be use in its present form or it can be taken to the anvil and made straight at which point it is a piece of barstock with a little built in character.
