Hello,great video!I was wondering if you have a video of forging,Fuller,and stamps concave and plain!I have forge some but i would like to see pro on work hehe :)))
@garyhuston Ahh i see,so thatd be where the name "pritchel hole"came from i suppose,thanks for the response.and btw i showed this video to my mother(who grew up riding/showing horses)along with your vidoe of actually shoe-ing a horse and she was amazed to see a shoe being made from bar,as was I.this was very informative
i wouldnt call it a crap video,stretching the metal was a good demo,btw curious about the hammer/punch you used to mark your holes,is that somthing that just for shoe-ing or a kind of muti tool.reason i ask is i got one siimilar from a buddy and i planned on using it to drift open holes for making hammer/axes etc.thanks for another great vid
I'm afraid I have no idea about steel types, all I do is use some other tool to make them out of. For example, I tend to use big Allen wrenches or kango points..
You'll know when you're done, because the hammer will just touch the tool. You can feel it in the bounce. Hot pliable steel does not feel like tool steel when the hammer bounces. You'll know.
No no sorry,i mean do you forge your own tools for shoe making! Plain fore punch is for E head farrier nails and concave fore punch is for JC nails!! I hope you understand i am from croatia and It is hard to wright this expressions!
Brilliant!, i was wondering how that was done on kukris and now you've shown how it's done, thanks for this gary, take care, simon.
@MrJsowa it's called a stamp and the tool to punch them out is a pritchel, they are specific shoe making tools.
Yes I do make my own tools, I just cut the head off a nail that I want to use and make the stamp to the same dimensions as the cut nail!

Sorry but I don't quite understand what you are asking for. I have a video of making a pair of concave shoes, do you mean making a plain stamp shoe?
