Dad's Horseshoe Cowboys

Well I finally figured out how to add more pictures to my blog. It’s quite a tedious process. But it can be done. You have to shrink the picture to less than 800 x 800 pixels. Anyway, I have been trying to put these pictures of Dad’s Cowboys on here.

Years ago he made some horseshoe cowboys but they got sold at garage sales. So the other day, we were in Coastal Farm Supply and we saw some horseshoe cowboys for sale. So Dad decided he wanted to try to make some once again. He pretty much remembered the pattern from the ones at the store.

I think the ones he made years ago had ball bearing heads and were a little more detailed. I think Dad said that he had a gun in one of the cowboys hands and a saddle in the other. Anyway, Dad is quite the artist. He has made many artistic things out of steel. A couple of mailbox trucks, a tractor, horseshoe cowboys, and of course the ball bearing snowmen that we have displayed in our living room right now.

Great job, Dad!
