This led to me getting some of Buddy's horseshoes from the farrier and making a wine rack as a gift for letting my son go riding. That led to people wanting stuff made out of horseshoes.

I made enough at my first craft fair/art show to buy a plasma cutter and bigger air compressor.

I never thought of "welding art" as a thing until that moment.

Now, I usually make 5-7k profit a year screwing around in my shop making stuff. It keeps my CPA spouse mostly off my back when I buy crap.

Anyone else look at a picture and think "damn, that was THE moment?"


Probably changed the boy’s life too- bet he will always have a thing for cowgirls
