I wished I had got into this profession when I left school. Too late for me now at 42 with lower back issues. I still like watching the craft though. Well done.

I like when you punch & draw your sideclips that you don't gouge too much steel leaving a large source hole, yet they're substantial looking clips with a strong base

Never thought I would actually see some make horse shoes. Even if it's on video. And I have worked on a couple of ranches. Good stuff.

Fascinating!! 🇨🇦

It's like every horseshoe you make is a piece of art! Kinda like katana making.

@Rocky Orion happy to help :)

My grandfather was a farrier mostly draught horses back in New Zealand my sister and I would run around the legs and the horse would never move crazy

Just found your channel. Awesome video. Me personally I'd like more real time footage and just edit out the boring parts instead of a time laps and no music. Just giving you some feed back absolutely not criticism! Can't wait to explore more of your channel.

Like howww ?? Props bro !

Totally amazing

Amazing

Cool dude

Impressive

i admire the background music.... but we preferred the no music.... we like the sound of the natural ambiance of a real blacksmith/farrier everyday sound... please can you make your future videos without music.

Lindo trabalho parabens pena q aqui no brazil é pouco valorizado

Was hoping to see it from scratch. Not using pre-done stock then shaping

What's that can of yellow stuff you were dipping the pritchel in? I want to say it's beeswax, but I'm not quite sure...

You'd be correct in thinking that it's a can of beeswax.Beeswax is good for dipping air hardened tools in because it cools them gently while lubricating them at the same time. (Cooling tool steel in plain water can make it brittle) Some farriers/Blacksmiths heat their cans of beeswax to liquefy it & then add carbon powder into it, then when the beeswax cools & sets back into it's wax form it's lubricationing properties are increased.(Doing this gives it a distinctive grey colour thought.)

Nice! Fine set!! So the million dollar question is why is concave shoes the choice to use in Europe? They are rarely used here in the states. Everyone state that it’s for traction but unless the rider isn’t cleaning the concave out they just get packed with debris.

Dirt on dirt is still good traction

It’s the debris that produces the traction

We call them rim shoes and they are widely used in the US. Really good for barrel horses.

Cost is high it’s about 3 bucks a foot plus shipping when you get flat stock for a dollar

You've done this for a while.. i can tell :P im a beginner blacksmith (Like, im so new i havent started yet) any tips on horseshoe-making for a beginner? :P

What dimension stock are you using?

Can u re forge the old shoes.? Did the horse owner ask u to make shoes, or do u just make shoes.???

I am studying farriery why is there an extra large hole at the back?

That will be for road or cross-country studs to be fitted.

What type of forge is that?

It's beeswax.Beeswax is good for cooling tool steel without making it brittle while also lubricating the tool at the same time.

You can buy pre made shoes at any tack shop

Even then, somebody had to make them before they reached the shop.
