Great watching the complete process, so much goes into each individual shoe, not only aesthetically but to suit the physical shape and angles of the hoof. Great Vid ATB Dave
When your hammering the corners of the shoe on the anvil bick to smooth it out and give it flow, I call that running the edges. I really like your modified clipping hammer. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Quite an informative video. I know there is quite a bit to learn to become a farrier, and I'd never even considered shoes would be sided (left & right) until now; but it makes a lot of sense as soon as you think about it. Thanks for sharing!
this takes me back. Nice work. Still got all my old sample shoes from college. I remember one farrier I went on a work trial with had me doing nothing but turning heels for a week, may have been a bit boring but damn it made me good at heels!
Nice work Gary. Ready made concave stock sure as hell beats making or buying a swage block for the size concave you want and making your own concave stock lol I swaged what felt like miles and miles of stock for training plates when I was an apprentice,turned a lot of sets of training plates back then lol I do have a pretty old thoro’bred brand hold down and a set of blocks that I made using a straightened section of kerk training plate drove in to a block of mild steel.
Great to watch you make these shoes. I always see these horse shoeing videos and wonder how they did this years ago. I guess they made the shoes and nails and everything. Why do you angle the pritchel holes?
You make working with incinerating hot mild steel seem easy - I have smithed an elaborate fire poker once - it's really much harder than you, with your experience, makes it look. Good video.
Good morning Gary i find your work Fascinating ,could I hire you to make a one off tool for a deep well pipe retrieval probably with rebar.would I have to go via a different website regards
@@namasteback94 if you pull it any other time it will get ruined and stop you performing other operations on the shoe. It’s done that way for a reason!

I don't know the first thing about shoeing but in this video I can definitely see that you have done this a time or two... Great video and work :-)
Glad you enjoyed it!

"Just hit it in the same spot" I'm lucky to just hit it, let alone in the same spot 😆😆
Nice! Love your clipping hammer!
Thanks! 👍

You make it look so easy.
It is when you’ve been doing it for forty two years!
Nice to see someone doing it. Thanks for showing your work.
My pleasure
Beautiful video and final product!
You make it look so easy!
It is after forty two years!
this takes me back. Nice work. Still got all my old sample shoes from college. I remember one farrier I went on a work trial with had me doing nothing but turning heels for a week, may have been a bit boring but damn it made me good at heels!
Fascinating to watch.

Hope you and your wife are having a wonderful summer!!!
We are, thank you!
Very interesting to watch!
Great looking vid!
Great to watch you make these shoes. I always see these horse shoeing videos and wonder how they did this years ago. I guess they made the shoes and nails and everything. Why do you angle the pritchel holes?
To follow the angle of the foot so the nails can get some height.
I call those swellings frog eyes

Nice handmade brother
Thank you very much
Loved it can we stop fighting
Is that material specifically for making shoes? What is it called?
Yes, it’s fullered concave.
What did you use at the end to clean up the shoe? Was it just a wire brush or did you use an oil/product?
just a wire brush.

Email me your requirements with a plan and dimensions and I’ll see if it’s something I can do.
Gary Huston hi Gary thanks for your prompt reply will get back to you regards Mike,,,,
Wow mantap banget om
Can you do the toe clip first to have full centers done, or should it be saved for the end?
Sorry I don’t quite understand the question, can you rephrase it.
@@garyhuston so I noticed you add the toe clip near the end of making the shoe, but was wondering if it mattered when you set it.
@@namasteback94 if you pull it any other time it will get ruined and stop you performing other operations on the shoe. It’s done that way for a reason!
@@garyhuston okay thank you. I'm trying to get into blacksmithing and live in an area with quite a few horse farms and boarding.
@@namasteback94 if you want to get into blacksmithing why the interest in Farriery?
Looks easy...Ha
