New Horseshoe art Sticky

[DSW]

"hardfacing" on a horseshoe...never saw that before, but if ya don't have any new or replacement shoes, I guess it would work! Just about any rod would probably be a little harder than the original shoe steel, which is fairly soft (except for the Mexican shoes made from hard rebar).

I think I've seen that picture somewhere before...noticed the guy wasn't holding a full size horse. Might be a bit tricky regardless of size if the critter spooks before they mask him/her.

Wonder where they put the ground clamp?????? That conjures up your imagination!!

Well here is a few horseshoe things I have made

speaking of horseshoes...

Interesting..

He just needs some paint and a stand.

I made a stand to raise the dogs water bowl. The hooks are for some dog tags I had made with their names on it. I made a couple more for their food dishes.

Nice job guys. That is a heavy bird for sure . As for the water bowl, that might be the right height for those miniature horses.

Played inside with a few snowmen. Used silverware knife handles for the ties. They are removable.

Here are the birds on a 30" rod.

This is a cowboy that made way back in Tech school. I used a nail for the pistol, Mig welded several beads of weld, and shaped it with a die grinder.

Were the majority of these done with Mig or Arc?

I use mig with 75/25 gas, Nice clean welds with little spatter and clean up.

[Thats Hot]

I use mig 75/25 also.

[Equilibrium]

I used MIG 75/25 too.

Here is Rudolph getting ready for Christmas Eve.

[Thats Hot]

He looks good...

[Firemanmike69]

Made two wine bottle/ glass holders

[Thats Hot]

I like these.

[BD1]

Nice bottle holder. Those look like the Diamond Classic shoes like I get from TSC. They are nice to work with too. I wonder if a smaller pony shoe might be better for the glasses. Maybe not if you have big glasses.

Never thought about them holding glasses when I saw those picts last night. I was thinking of some sort of "bug" sort of motif with the 1st one. 2nd one I was thinking some sort of cross.
