Csmith724 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone has any instructional videos or articles on horseshoe bending. I've seen lots of videos, but never anything that actually teaches technique. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturalstrength Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone has any instructional videos or articles on horseshoe bending. I've seen lots of videos, but never anything that actually teaches technique. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it a lot! I should have time this Thursday and would be more than happy to post an instructional video for you on youtube. If the video is not up by Thursday(11/5/2009), PM me and I'll get it out to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Carl is a great horseshoe bender. So you can trust that his tips will be very useful. But I'll post some quick things to be aware about that will help http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?app=gallery&module=images§ion=viewimage&img=7852 http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?app=gallery&module=images§ion=viewimage&img=7853 http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?app=gallery&module=images§ion=viewimage&img=7855 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griparn Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Im also quite new to bending horseshoes and I did some "research" about the techniques too. Watch videos from David, naturalstrength, MalachiMcMullen as I think they have great techniques and are all very good horseshoe benders. Try to see what style that suits you and your strengths as everyone is different. I found this discussion very helpful too: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=26603 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csmith724 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Just wondering if anyone else has any instructional horseshoe bending videos. I don't want to let this thread fall away. I did give the light horseshoe I have from the FBBC Beginner's Bag a try and was able to get it a little more than halfway, but can't budge it further than that, which I'm pretty sure is probably a result of improper form and zero practice. Any advice right now is good advice. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Here's an instructional video Tim I made a while ago. He uses a weird kinking technique, but it works for him. He has some good points in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naturalstrength Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I haven't forgotten about that video. I will pm it to you soon! Sorry about the delay p.s. At this rate, you will probably be bending draught horseshoes by the time I send you this instructional video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csmith724 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Haha I wish man. No worries on the video, whenever you get around to it will be fine. I appreciate the help. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
