redouxranch Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 If the handle on your toilet breaks 3 hours before company comes and your local farm and ranch store doesn't have one. Soooo, you forge one out of a horseshoe and a piece of threaded rod. My first attempt at a horse head and it looks ok. Not great but ok. Great to have metal and a forge and wife MAKES you forge something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Special Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 If yer quench tank doubles as yer wash up tank.....you might be a redneck blacksmith. If you miss your work, and you say, "well, dang it, there goes the other tooth".....you might be a redneck blacksmith. If your first brake drum forge came from something you had in the backyard, before you started smithing...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
