Horseshoe Nails Forged and Headed from Iron Rod

Horseshoe nails hold the shoe through the hard outer wall of the hoof. They are shaped to bend outward as they are driven, so the point comes out through the wall, where it is cut off and clinched over. A shoe complete with its nails was found in a fifth-century grave. Draw a flat tapering shank, bevel the point on one side, and head it. The picture: horseshoe nails in three sizes.

Draw the shank

Heat the end of the rod and draw a flat, tapering shank about 45 mm long, thinner toward the point.

Bevel the point

Forge a short bevel on one face of the point only. Mark that face: it goes toward the inside of the hoof, so the nail turns outward.

Cut and head

Nick the rod on the hardy a little above the shank, drop the shank into the header, snap it off and hammer the stub into a tapered, wedge-shaped head that will sit in the nail hole of the shoe.

Finish

Let them cool in air so the iron stays soft enough to clinch. File off any burr and check each one is straight.
