Making a horse shoe wine rack

Up-cycling project: In tonight project I'm making a rustic horse shoe wine rack, giving a load of old rusty horse shoes a second life. I hope you enjoy watching and let me know what you think of the finished pieces in the comments. Thanks for watching :-)

Hi Tom, getting close to my other long time hobby, blacksmithing (not a farrier, so the only time I shoe a horse is to tell them to get away). But I do have farrier friends that give me horseshoes from time to time. But making metalwork has one thing in common with turning wood; you have to finish both. I hare wire brushing metalwork as much as sanding woodwork. A necessary evil. Nice project. Now you need to make a cork screw and some bottle stoppers (just in case your unable to finish a bottle by yourself and need to save it for later).😃 Stay safe and well (be careful not to drink too much, too fast of the alcohol based sanitize 😉). And keep the videos coming. Cheers, Tom

Thanks Tom, I'm thinking of making a little back yard forge to have a play around again, I use to teach an enrichment blacksmithing course at a local secondary school to teenagers (as that's my other hobby to) but sadly the old gas forge was condemned so sadly haven't played around with blacksmithing for a long while. Maybe I'll have a go at doing some blacksmithing project videos in the future if I ever do make a forge 😁 thanks for watching 👍

Nice to see something different. Let me know if you need help drinking those ciders 😉

[@thewelshwoodman649]

Thanks glad you liked it 😀 working my way through them slowly would definitely recommend Gwynt y Ddraig cider if you haven't tried it yet it's my favourite 👍

They're called toe clips and there's also shoes with one on each side called quarter clips. Helps if a horse shears nails off and helps stabilize the hoof if there's cracks or gaps to grow out.

[@thewelshwoodman649]

Thanks zach your awesome 😁 always wondered why there was ones with one clip on and others with two 👍thanks for watching 😁

[@anthonyadams2337]

Cracking idea that and it's nice and stable, whoops

[@thewelshwoodman649]

[@florencenorris931]

Lovely video Tom, but Black Sheep is a Yorkshire beer, not Welsh! 😂

[@thewelshwoodman649]

Thanks for your comment, you are right black sheep is a Yorkshire beer (it's a nice one too) didn't quite have enough Welsh beer and cider to fill the rack 😉 thanks for watching

[@recloakedworkshop]

The Welsh Woodman 😂 I’m just picturing a rack full of Penderyn 😉. Love the work Tom. Nice to see another string to your bow in this.

Hi Tom, What a great project. I don't weld but my son does. These would go down really well at craft fairs I think, when they re-open. Diolch yn fawr un waith eto. Hwyl, Huw

[@thewelshwoodman649]

Thanks Huw, I'm going to give them a go at my next craft fair whenever that will be 🥺 Diolch Tom
