So I second the nomination for Mr. Bunting to judge March. Would you like to pick a bar shoe/roadster/ anything for us to make sir?
I like that you took time to judge!
Made this shoe on site this morning. Used the punch and pritchel on both sides. 3/8 x 3/4. E 4 on medial side. Vx 50 on lateral [ATTACH]

I think it would work better as a drift Monty. I will try it in some 1/2 x 1 tomorrow and fuller one side and plain stamp the other
Had one get a little to short this winter[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I am guessing the pin is to stop some rotating of the hocks?
I have not Monty. Very snowy today so I might get home early and give it a go
If a judge asks for an e5 in 5/16 I would definitely need a different punch.
No. But I am also changing stock dimensions with different size nails. I was wanting a narrow punch to avoid frog eyes in concave

I ordered some steel from the site Rick posted. It should get here in time to get in an entry. Nice work shown so far.
I'm still searching for steel. The local steel mill does not have it and would only purchase it for me by a semi load
That would be great... I would like to try a couple for sure from each shipment.
Can I get three or four to start with when you get them?
you are correct he is a head horse.
[ATTACH]will be going on my roping horse tomorrow
I'm in. I need to get some tools steel. Can someone tell me what is best to get and how to temper It properly. I only have a forge and anvil. No...
Thank you for taking the time Smitty! This was fun and got me into the shop more. Nice job everyone!
