Everyday Shoeing

Bi ? Hmm.....

My on site shoe making process.
Heat 1
Outside heel, turn toe, role toe, turn branch, punch

Heat 2
Inside heel. Safe, turn branch, punch.
Not to worried about shape tell I clip

Heat 3
Clip, shape

Fit up then take the shoe to meet my grinder

Good process, however I would say your inside heel looked better before you took it to the grinder.

I wish I could organise work so I could make all the shoes.

Good post. Do you make all your shoes on site?

Agreed Marc, but I needed to get it off the frog. I cut to much.

When using handmade I would say I make 90% at the horse

On an avearage set how long is it taking you start to finish, thats what has always put me off making shoes at the horse

31 min for these including trim fit and nail. So around 15 minutes to make the hinds I would think

Man i have some work to do. . .not quite that quick

Thats quick!

I use a whisper daddy in the truck. Turned up so I never have to wait for hot steel. Should be able to make 4 concave or plain stamped shoes in 30 min if your set up right.

Used to be a class at convention that was 4 fullered shoes clipped up in 45 min.

That's the 3 burner right?

Yes low boy

Been thinking about putting the forgemaster in the truck instead of the whisper momma
