Haha yeh i know the feeling. The closest person i know with a plasma cutter is a 3 hour drive away so i think i can do without. I might try makin somethin like that with one of them air powered ratory cutters they seem to be well setup but dont know if they work on metal?

I want to stick with horse shoes and maybe a little sheet metal and rod , paper towl holders Etc., reason cause I ain`t got a plasma cutter , have to use my cousins ` all the time

I have a few friends who have horses and shoe them they just save the old ones for me, make them somthing nice now and then and they keep them coming. The new ones I get at tsc or farmers co-op

I have made several things from horse shoes. Have even made some shoes from scratch, as I do a little smithing. From my experience the used shoes sell better than new ones, people are all about rustic decor these days. Take it from me though if the shoe cost 3$ and you sell them for 5$ you will eventually go in the hole make sure to charge enough for wire, gas, grinding and cutting wheels, paint and most of all your time. I found out the hard way
if you start out selling stuff cheap people will always expect that. I have a couple horse shoe items on my site check them out maybe they will give you some ideas.

[wireburner]

yeah thta wat i think i`ll do charge different

[weld_13]

Yeh but i would suggest doing some new some old because some people like the old worn-out look it you kno what i mean.

[wireburner]

me to but the only thing about the used shoes is there will worn out

[weld_13]

Well i hope it works out for ya.
