Build a Shoeing Stock on Skids
by Joe WantThis stock is built on a skid made of I beams. The flooring may be either planks or heavy plywood. The pipe is heavy wall 3″ (od).Measurements:

A. 10 feet
B. 8 feet
C. 24 inches
D. 66 inches
E. 78 inches

Legs that are tied should never be tied hard or fast. Chains provide a high degree of flexibility. The chains pass through a round hole, then out through a slot shaped like a keyhole.  The slot keeps the chain in place, but will release if struck with a heavy hammer should a problem develop.
