There are so many ideas for creative ways to use horseshoes but our second foray has been making large numbers. The obvious use for them, and why we created them, is for house addresses, but they can be used for any reason you might want a large, solid number.

We are very excited to introduce a new product - our welded steel horseshoe crosses! There are a lot of barns and horse-lovers in the area surrounding where we live so it seemed natural to us to find something we could make that would fit that demographic. Mark is the one who found the idea and Joe is the lead on creating these, since they mostly use his skills.
Joe and Mark help each other with a lot of projects but this is one of our truly collaborative products. Neither one of them can make it without the other! One of our goals is to create items that serve multiple purposes and this one definitely fulfills that requirement.
These cute little hooks bring a unique look to your home! They are small enough to go just about anywhere but can hold coats and kitchen utensils, as well as hats and baskets. The options are almost endless!
This product came into existence because of an odd vent in our house. We had a long, skinny vent in the floor in our hallway and getting something that would fit it would have had to be custom anyway so Dan asked Joe if he could weld one. Joe did and it looked (looks :) really cool. Carrie's dad kept telling us that we should sell them. When it was time to decide what products to start with, these seemed like an obvious choice.
Today's showcase is our hand-forged metal bracelets. It's a good day because we are pretty sure you'll learn something new as you read about this process.
It may be fair to say that this is the product that started it all. Mark made two for some friends of ours as an experiment. He had an idea and wanted to try it so he did and when people saw it, everyone said how that would be something people would buy. It's also the product that required the most work to get the process set up, which is why it was one of the last products we put on the site when we launched.
Carrie made her first name prayer all the way back in 2014 for Sarah's confirmation. She made them for Joe and Mark and other friends for confirmations and graduations. When we started brainstorming product ideas for the business, she decided that maybe other people would like these too.
Our Coin Rings get a lot of interest at craft shows and when we wear them we get a lot of comments. Today you get a behind-the-scenes look at the process to turn a coin into a unique piece of jewelry!
