    My oath it is. :(

    But that's what you have to pay if you want to play with concave here. By comparison, 20 x 10 flat bar (3/4 x 3/8) I pay ~$19 for 6m length.

    Looks to be a fair number of straight shoes there.

    Any idea how many feet of 3/8 x 3/4 in a ton? You don't do many resets either correct?

    I know if you had a few different sections in the ton 3/4x3/8, 3/4 x 5/16, 7/8 x 3/8
    you get approx. 450 to 470 sets for your ton

    looks like my blacksmith shop at home in my basement!!!:LOL:
    I have 2 pallets full of shoes.....52 boxes each of size 2; approx 30 boxes size 1; and about 10 boxes left only of size 0...since that is what I use the most of....then I have about 50 pairs of aluminum wide web; and about 100 sets of old race-plates left from 20 years of plating.'
    and I have a lot of odds and ends of weird shoes [therapeutic]; out-dated shoes [ie. standard-bred race-plates; old Diamond block heeled; rims, of a good 40 pairs left from 23 years ago; and then I have concave shoes of about 5 boxes of mostly size 2.

    As a farrier said to me some weeks ago when I mentioned
    you have a lot of stock made.

    His reply was that worries me meaning they were not shoeing
    enough horses when the stock was getting bigger
