This is my son riding my neighbor's horse, Buddy, with the neighbor girl clinging to him. ![[Linked Image from u.cubeupload.com]](https://u.cubeupload.com/Weldedwondersmn/FBIMG1514821131709.jpg) 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?"

goilie, you are a very talented guy. Very nice stuff in those pics! Never tried to weld, but always swore that someday, I would learn. Hope I can find someone as good as you for my mentor.

This is the one that paid off: ![[Linked Image from u.cubeupload.com]](https://u.cubeupload.com/Weldedwondersmn/IMG20190904151327670.jpg) Lady at work has a daughter that rides horses. She wanted something cool to hang in the stable. I wrote down the sizes/where to cut the shoes, and now I can crank one out in about an hour. No finish work, it's supposed to rust. And horse people around the Twin Cities apparently have more money than brains......
