    Definitely will! Not back to the farrier work yet. Working on rebuilding my hand strength, but all the tingling burning sensation is finally gone.

    I don't get why he would make a bar that looks exactly like it was made from a rasp instead of just using a rasp.

    Well it would be really difficult to do a rasp finish after you forge welded the rasp to the shoe. :confused:

    It's a horseshoe with a frog plate jumped on. Flux the shoe and welding plate, bring them up to welding temp, stick them together.

    The tricky part is knowing how much your shoe is going to spread from welding and keeping it clean.
