No More Horsin' Around

The park is a busy place, with many guests coming & going; family and friends visiting.  A ferrier, (um guy that does horseshoes) arrived from Nebraska with his rig:  horses, hay, water, and a forge.  He was visiting his brother and offered a demo on his skills.   Ferriers are today's blacksmiths and during the afternoon show made a few BBQ skewers and horse topped bottle openers.  Everything was made from old horseshoes.  It was a pretty amazing show!

Banging away making a BBQ skewer from a horseshoe.


A real cowboy

HOT!



  The "opener" part was made by repeatedly inserting a drift / punch; eventually using the anvil to round the opening.
