    Here at Spain,the concave stock isn't available. I convinced my farrier supply for get them from England. The barstock 20mm x 15mm of 1'20 m long cost´s about 8 euros. Two euros each shoe. I know that's an expensive price,but the costs of importation are greats.
    How much costs for you the concave barstock in your countries?

    it will be cheaper for you to purchase direct from the UK Gabino , 48hr delivery to Iberia is peanuts , i get my supplies from the UK and find i can make massive savings on just about all farrier supplies

    It is a headache trying to converse imperial to metric and I know all about it o_O.
    this is what they are, give or take, the bold ones are my preferred sections.

    1/2x 1/4 = 12.7x6.4
    5/8x 1/4 = 15.9x6.4
    5/8x 5/16 = 15.9x7.9
    3/4x 5/16 = 15.9x7.9
    5/8x 3/8 = 15.9x9.5
    3/4x 3/8 =19x9.5
    7/8x 3/8 = 22.2x9.5
    1 x3/8 = 25x9.5
    3/4 x 7/16 = 15.9x11.1
    7/8x 7/16 = 22.2x11.1
    3/4 x 1/2 =19x12.7
    7/8 x 1/2 =22.2x12.7
    1 x 1/2 = 25x12.7

    Now why is it that the English always want to do things differently "the proper way" :D.

    Special thanks to the English for the Concave ;)
