Trivet

[JimYo]

My new neighbor has horses, so I made a trivet for her kitchen counter ... I got the shoe idea from a previous post here and expanded on it a bit ...

Nice work. I've got a bunch of horseshoes, just need to get moved and set up to start being creative. I really like the trivets and hope I can do them justice with a MIG.

Cool. I like the addition of the ring, and the feet on the bottom.

Did you use new horsehoes? I did a couple of those and used old ones, and it gives more character, but takes some fiddling to get it nice and level. You either have a level base or a level top.

I think I used different sized feet to keep it flat. Your ring would sure make the leveling easier.

Nice job.

Thanks for the comments..
used a 90 amp mig welder, with flux core wire

old horse shoes give it character and some discussion value..

I had to do something with the other end of the shoes, so here is that one... used "roller bearings" for the feet..
cleaned up and clear coated after that picture was done..

Looks great. I think I used some cut down bolts for the feet on mine. Roller bearings would have saved time, especially since I have a box of them somewhere.
