Tonight’s demo is something, I have been making for 20 years, I think Mr. Elmer Seybold, deceased showed it to me.

You take an old horseshoe, preferably one you just pulled off a horse, and turn it into a $20 Bill. Here’s how:)

Heat up the center of the shoe, and cut it in 1/2 on the hardy at the toe.

After we cut it into at the center of the toe, we take one, and bend it over the edge at about a 45 deg. angle AT THE END OF THE CREASE

We start drawing this out as long as you can on the face of the anvil. This should come out about 2 1/2 to 3″ long.

As in the previous figure, you bring this to a crisp 90 deg. I flatten the point slightly, to give it sort of a screwdriver effect, then I come over the horn of the anvil and turn the pic, leaving the last 3/8″ to 1/2″ of the end straight.

I put the horsehead on it for an additional $10, putting 3 letter stamped initials from the end of the crease to the heel of the shoe can add an add’l $5. Anytime you can sell a used horse shoe for $20 to $25 and don’t have to bend over to nail it on, you are bound to be making money:)

Any questions?

Where did you say the horse head Demmo is at?? Please?

The horsehead is Demo. #17 on the I-forge page.

Can I hear an amen?

Amen. Even I can sell these.

I’ve always liked the part about making money off a shoe too wore out to nail back on.

AAmen:) Bill sent me one of these a couple of years ago and I have been making them ever since[not as nice as Bill’s yet tho]and I sell all I can make.Good sellers at Xmas for some reason.

I have made them out from everything from 00 to #2’s, but I prefer the #1 horseshoe.

Bill I like it… Just made two picks for the KY abana fest.(donated) , {Point on one end, scraper on the other, with a twisted handle.

Mainly, I use whatever the horseshoers drop off when they come shoe the horses, cause I ain’t in the busineses of nailing on horseshoes anymore, LOL:)
