    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 :-)

    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

    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?

    • @garyhuston
      @garyhuston  4 роки тому +4

      To follow the angle of the foot so the nails can get some height.

    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.

    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?

    Can you do the toe clip first to have full centers done, or should it be saved for the end?
