The practical horseshoer Being a collection of articles on horseshoeing in all its branches which have appeared from time to time in the columns of "The Blacksmith and wheelwright" .. . Fig. 13.—The Pincers. keeps them ahvays open and ready to take hold 14 represents a shoeing stand I use. It is a movableblock with a statt that has a block of iron at the top to setthe foot on. This stand makes the job of shoeing easier forboth man and horse.—By P. B. G. THE PRACTICAL HORSESHOER. 47 Making a Clincher. The clincher shown in the accompanying illustrations is onethat I have never seen described in an^^ paper. The handlesare drawn so as to taper both w^ays, because that allowsthem to pass each other easily in drawing* down a piece B, shown with the fulcrum £in Fig. 15, is fulleredso that the nail head can be admitted into the Fig. 14.—The Shoeing Stand. There must be a small space left between the keyhole in thefulcrum and the jaw, so that B can move up and for the key the point of a nail that has been nipped offin shoeing-, bending- it so that it will not come out. If thepiece A has the proper curve, any clinch can be caught. Inusing the tool it should be pulled up, instead of down, asyou would the ordinary clinch. 48 THE PRACTICAL HORSESHOER. Fig*. 15 is a top view of the piece B, Fig\ 16 is a top viewof C, Fig-. 17 is a top view of A, and Fig. 18 shows theclincher completed.—By A. H. H. < -;Z—-^
