cheaper joel xmas gift build

[jeeperjoel]

well broke and needed presents, out came the welder... making 3 for members of my family, 4 for friend that always helps me in garage... of course he's helping , found the idea online... had some of the materials, total cost to build 7 units? 28$ CHEAPER JOEL! ... will finish soon, then coat in oil and into oven like seasoning a cast skillet, gives projects like this a killer blackened finish that doesn't get scratched over time, and stops any rust... going to use oil recycled out of deep fryer to save $, plus presents will smell like tasty french fries!

thanks nick! almost finished, all are welded but need to be checked for sharp edges i missed, and then to be "seasoned", remembered how much work it takes to clean used horseshoes along the way... had a girlfriend in the past whose dad was a farrier (he shoed horses), i could get all the used horseshoes i wanted for free, had plan of starting small business making western art, but the time it took cleaning the horseshoes killed the profit margin... if anyone was going to do a project like this i highly suggest just buying new shoes, can get them for 2-2.50$ each, sizes would be the same, not all bent up, or worn down, no nails to remove (mean metal nails, not attached horse hooves! ), no rust, and no crushed gravel and dirt packed in the slot where nails go
