We will first treat of bar shares. The first thing to do when a plow is brought for a new lay is to look over the condition of the landside. By landside is meant the bar to which the share is welded. Now if this bar is worn down so that you think it too weak to stand for a new share, then make a new one. HOW TO MAKE A LANDSIDE For a 14-inch plow take 2^ x ^, or 2)^ x ^\. For a16-inch plow, use 2^ X y\, or 3 x ^\ common the iron diagonally at the point. This will preparea point on each side of the cut; that is, you had bettercut out two landsides at a time. But if you do notwant to do that, then cut the iron off square. Nexttake a piece of common iron 3x1^, 13 inches long for ashin; cut this diagonally, and it will make shins fortwo. Some plow factories use steel for shins, but that MODERN BLACKSMITHING 89 is not necessary, for it will not make the plowsharean
