But its a good example of the size etc

CnC Copper OFFLINE Member Posts: 5 Karma: 0	I am talking about the ones that are forged out and brazed on with copper. I was just wondering if I am building them right for a compition coming up. I did not know if there are specs on size and position. Thanks for the replies.

I believe The jar calk in question ,(sometimes called a jumping calk) is the type that is brazed on and usually made from 1/4 X 1/4" thick stock, cut about 5/8"-3/4" long, brazed on the same direction as the branch of the shoe. In other words, lengthwise)
The leading end (the front) should be tapered before brazing so it is free of a sharp end , as to not "stop" the foot with too much traction. The rear end of the calk should come to the end of the heel of the shoe and can be then neatly rasped to match the angle of the heel of the shoe after it is brazed on.

You'll probably get a piece of 1/4" round to make the caulks from. Don't forget to make at least one spare caulk so if you drop one in the dirt or knock it off into the forge you won't have to spend a bunch of time trying to recover it. :cool:

Rick Burten OFFLINE Enforcer Posts: 9082 Thank you received: 50 Karma: 8	There is a good picture/example of a jar caulk on page 50 of the current issue of Professional Farrier magazine. Perhaps someone with better computer skills than I have can scan it and post it here on the forums.
