I appreciate your expertise and commentary in putting this together. Great to have ideas of things to do with the horseshoes. I'm sure we all do things differently, as we are all different, and I appreciate being able to see the beautiful end results of your way. Oh ya and I enjoy the musical outro as well. Thank you from New Brunswick, Canada
Your right Sir, If you say I Can't you will never do anything....We all CAN do something on our own level....I'm 66 years old now and just started smithing and amazed at myself what I can do although be it small simple items I really love learning...Thanks for the lessons.....I have a personal saying to myself "" Don't Wonder how to do it, Just do it and wonder how you did it"". Nice Heart Shoe by the way it loks great. Toby
I dont' want to sound picky, but I want to leave a helpful comment - to me it looks like you're using the hammer completely wrong, you're kind of using a small hammer and trying to "smoosh" the material down, like you're trying to press the hammer into the material.... this is really bad for all of your joints from the wrist up, you're basically fighting the anvil at this point. I can see you're not using any part of your shoulder, hips, no swing, nothing... Use a slightly bigger hammer and use the WHOLE body, espicially the shoulder and upper arm to kind of flick the hammer onto the material... you're going to end up doing some pretty bad damage to yourself this way. Remember.. try to use a slightly bigger hammer and "flick" it kind of onto the material, it will come bouncing back gently, don't try to push a small hammer into the material.. I hope this helps. That hammer looks like a roofing hammer.. but i guess use what ever you got around - and i guess you're more into shoeing horses than big art forging, so that may explain it also :) Keep on forging!
Typically, that isn’t really how you would make a horseshoe heart. There are ways to do it and other ways to make it look better, personally I don’t think it looks to good and it’s lost a lot of the horseshoe features. Also, try not to shove the hammer as such

Wow excellent job. Looks like I better get my forge warmed up and start chasing that ball of steel.👍
It’s hard to find a anvil because you got them all

As a blacksmith. You do a lot of talking. And not much forging.
