In this video I will teach you how to make a welded metal horse shoe puzzle and the bending jig you need to make the horse shoes. With an in depth view of the entire design process, you should be able to make other jigs so you can make your very own design/projects. As with every Way of the Wrench video, you will also learn other trade secrets and tips for steel fabrication and welding....ya just gotta watch.
