Run In


So I built this run-in and the horses never wanted to go in it. They'd rather stand out in the field during a storm than in the shelter. I think they only used the centre post to scratch their backs.

Posts were pressure treated, everything else was native lumber cut on the property. Roof painted steel.

A Propane Forge

A propane blacksmith's forge. Made from a old Oxy Acetylene gas cylinder. Lined with ceramic wool. The burner is a version of Ron Reil's  Reil EZ-Burner  that I made. Below are movies of the forge running: You will note that the burner is offset rather than straight down. This offset was recommended by a number of individuals, the idea being that it would cause the flame to swirl. I have not found this to be the case. Instead, it just causes a hot spot to one side. I would not do this again and do not recommend it. My next forge will use a top down mounting of the burners.
