Making Horseshoes - John Gregory - Saddlebred

[spurrit]

It looks like you need to adjust the reins on your tongs; they're open awfully wide. Looks like they'd hurt your hands.

Do you only make saddlebred shoes? If so why are the nail holes punched so coarse? Have you ever thought of competing. You should check out cokepot.com It is the website for the world championship blacksmiths, if you ever decide you want to come compete with us and see what it is all about.

@johnmay321 Long footed shoes are padded with sometimes several layers of heavy leather pads which should be angled along the lines of the hoof wall. So the perimeter of the ground surface of the shoe is much wider than the ground surface of the foot, so you have to punch them very course.

what are you using for a punch and die setup on that niagra? I just got ahold of an old perkins flywheel type and want to start punchin shoes with it.

@gouchodon1 The punch is H13 in 5/8's round and so is the small anvil on the bottom
