Horse shoe art??

[Bert]

couple grand: that's normal...We have different expos here at the convention center and other places...Runs between $500 to a $1,500 for a weekend per booth, depending on location. You have a few thousand people walking past your stuff, vs 50 people at the farmer's market

our flea market is a bummer. not enough people and defenetly no one willing to pony up any $$.
$25 a day.(waisted)

That's one thing good in living in a populated area! Housing and other things stink, 'cause prices are sky high, but other venues, like different places to sell stuff, are pretty easy to come by...But there is SO much competition, it's a buyer's choice! That's why work has to be good quality! Oh, I take that back, the rich people are still buying c*ap from Ross's and Wallmart

Yeh but in the city I will probly get asked how did I make them? Of course I will answere welding and will probly have dude who knows nothing aobut it except its welding or some idiot looking at me like what?

While I was still active duty I made tons of stuff out of horse shoes, lamps, hoof pics, letter openers, picture frames, paper towel holders, napkin holders, hotplate holders....the list could go on and on. If you would like some pics I'd be happy to send them to you or post them on here. As for price if you buy them by the "keg" (about 25 lbs for 1/4 keg) it is a LOT cheeper!! also you can find ferriers(horse shoers) that will give you old ones.

please post them , I find a local farreier to get old ones from
