if you were to look at the stock of different sizes and styles of shoe available you would know that not many shoes are needed to be made these days,even for corrective work,minor adjustments are done on site in a gas fired hot box and some of the roughest bastards around make bloody good farriers.the tafe hierachy spotted a good opening for a fee charged course an presto!if you dont have adiploma or a batchelor degree,according to some you dont know a donkey from a broodmare.

Cheers guys.
I spent all day at the semifinals and finals today.
The semis were a run off for the top ten from which they cut it down to five for the final.
The final was between, an Englishman (current world champ), 3 Scots and 2 Yanks. The pom won, a yank was second and a scot was 3rd.
Oh yeah and Aussie Dean Lewis won the 2 artsitic classes.
Photos coming soon.

Bob if I was there I'd be all over the wagons photographing the works of art so one day I can build a scale model one. Lets hope Aussie doesn't find this page he's after photo's also same thing. He really like the stagecoaches though.

All the carriages are parked outside in a big parking lot and you can get right up close for a butchers hook. Here's a few picks of Wagons I found amongst my pics.
This purple one won an award

I like the wooden ones - both of these had disc brakes.

This one is not bad.

There is another green one and a black one that are real beauties but they were under tarps and I was not in time to see it come out of the ring and get close ups.
