Nice job !

Good sir g 👌

Damn I missed this upload. I’ve never made a hoof knife from a rasp but I have made a couple loops out of some old US made Nicholson mill bastards that I had quite the hoard of for using at the lathe,sadly those are all gone and all of the newer bastards that I’ve tried just haven’t been as good of steel as the old ones. I suppose I’ll peruse the flea markets this comming spring/summer and the flea market at our clubs steam show next year because sadly we didn’t haven’t our show this year due to this COVID bollocks. I like the idea of making the handle out of the rasp too,sorta like a little nod to the old heller knives of the last century that had a cast iron handles on them.

Nice job on the knife! Folks should be aware that a lot of rasps, at least in the USA, are increasingly becoming the case-hardened variety. Those might not give the desired result when hardening and tempering. Best to do a grind test for higher carbon so you can heat treat properly. The old rasps are usually all the higher carbon variety.

It would be nice if you kept the end of the rasp as a hoof pic or maybe forge it for setting the shoes.

I thought that was a hip bone on the bench when you were wire brushing the handle, lol. Nice j job. I think I saw a guy making an American Indian draw knife like it, but with a wood handle.

Just asking it looks like some horses are in pain when they do it and I hope you are doing well in 2020 and keep up the good work

👏💐💐💐

Great video. Can you do a video on making a stamp or forepunch for making shoes. Thanks

You’ll probably laugh your ass off, but I’d like to see you make a couple of more of these, and send them over to Dr Hook Gp. The one that makes all the videos trimming cow feet in Scotland.

Have you tried it out yet? Did it hold an edge? How well did it work for you?

Hi Gary, have you tried it out? I’m very curious to see the testing. Enjoy your videos, thanks

Gary ime retiring soon and want to start smithing as a hobby, I have a forge swage anvil, but what hand tools would you say I should look out for? Apart from a hammer!

Are you quenching that in water or oil?

Was it any good to use

Who made your canopy on landrover

Did you harden when it was swirling and temper at wheat?
