Nice bit of folk art, and good to see horse shoes continuing life in another shoe/boot use!

Which one is Ringo??

 

[dippy]

Here is ringo, I was going to put john on but it was a bit shot at, well all rusty with being in rain

Well I guess it's a case of how much it cost you plus your profit......I haven't a clue what one would cost on the open market!! Give me a price and I'll say yay or nay!!!

Hey Dippy, I'd love one of these, but fancy the challenge of making one myself - but no idea where to get the horse shoes from? Would you be able to sell me a couple?

 

[dippy]

The shoes I have used are for sports horses or horses with laminitis, and dont get many, but if you message me your details I will see what I can do

If you want new shoes then go on

My profile pic is a farriers file knife, I made for a farrier to give to his mate as a wedding gift

Cheers Dippy, I'd eventually found them myself actually, but god knows how much they are new! 2 or 3 will probably do me if you can spare them? Love the V shape on them!

Our farrier gave me a couple of boxes of used ones: they just get thrown away otherwise. A bit worn and bent, but that's just "character".

Thanks to Dippy for my Boot puller which arrived today :-) So I set about giving it a quick sandblast, and now it's powder coated in Copper vein......looks brilliant

Would highly recommend one Warren! I got mine from Electrostaticmagic.co.uk and just use a standard kitchen oven, works a treat.....justgot to make sure anything you coat is free of rust and muck!! I gave this a quick sandblast before I coated it.

I must have the same one as well from electrostaticmagic, used it on a few metal boxes for guitar stompboxes and got a small table top oven from local classifieds to bake them.

Works a treat but I will probably be getting a bigger oven in the near future !

 

[dippy]

Ye mate no prob, just pm me with your details and will get it sorted

 

[dippy]

Done

 

[Cyberprog]

I'll take one dippy, bought some new shoes from them to make my own, but bogged down with work, and will be nice to have a template to work from for my own effort

 

[dippy]

New design

Too far away from the coolness of it being a horseshoe I think tho...
