Horseshoe Men

The boys asked Uncle James if he could teach them how to make something in the Blacksmith Shop. So since today was a half day of school, we went over to the Shop and James worked his magic!
They started out by finding old horseshoes. It helps that James shoes horses and had a few lying around.
Then they pounded and pounded and pounded the horseshoes on the anvil. And let me mention that it was HOT!
And then they pounded some more. The boys got pretty good at using that hammer.
The finished product! They are so proud! James and the boys did a great job. You can't see it here but James welded sideburns on all of the men along with their cowboy hats.
