The Texas Horseshoe Twisters

Recommended Posts

David Wigren has now matched me on both the Dust Devil list and the Tornado list with his latest destruction of a St. Croix Plain Regular #3. His bends were performed with greater ease, and I know he has more in him, therefore, I believe he has earned the title of World's Greatest Horseshoe Bender.

Thanks Eric. That means alot. But I don't think I'm there yet. You bent thoose shoes before me. And also did it without protection on your leg. I don't think I could've done that the way you did. So until I bend a recognized harder shoe. That title still belongs to you

I've added another requirement to rule #5. You can blame David Wigren for this. :laugh Actually, he made the important point that some of the brands, such as Karckhaert and Cemtec, come in more than one thickness or width per particular shoe. Requiring that this measurement be caught on tape, when applicable, will prevent any unintentional mix-ups.

Congratulations are in order for Carl Ansara. Using the minimalist IM pads he twisted a Kerckhaert SSP #3!

HAHA, I heard that! I figured out a way to just get my one big paw in there (pulling side) and then just use the heel of my hand and not wrap the thumb on the pushing side. Only way I can do anything 0 or smaller. Once it kinks a little, you can wrap the thumb.
