Those are very cool
THE GREATER PART OF LIBERTY IS MINDING YOUR OWN FUCKIN BUSINESS.
More than likely I'll probably wind up burning this bitch down. Forge work in a building full of gun powder, oil, and acetone may not be looked highly upon.
Gonna need a bigger torch or a forge.
^^^ Do you know farrier Dargin Waters? He's up ur way and has been at it for 30 years. He's the one I'd get to help me if I wanted to do that and he has all the equipment.

My sister dated Dargin back in high school. Small world, but I'm guessing he's done farrier work for you?
He's GOOD. I've used him through the years for corrective shoeing on horses and foals that had MAJOR feet problems. Problems that would have caused them to have to be put down if not fixed. Dargin always came through.
When other farriers call him for advice, you kinda know he's the one to go to.

He was strong as a pulp wooder back then, but a nice guy. Haven't seen him in a long time though. If you cross paths with him, tell him I said hello.
Final prep and first coat
