Commisioned Work


Boot Pullers (boot jacks)


Small boot jack

These are an old fashioned tool that used to be traditionally made of wood, but we have used the same principle to

construct them out of horse shoes.

The way they work is to place one foot on the flat area and then locking the heel of the other boot in the jaws of the jack, you simply ease your foot out of the boot, then repeat with the other boot.

Very simple and very effective.

Two sizes available small 18” long with 2.5” jaws, Code BP001 Price £6.50

Large 21” long with 3.5” jaws, Code BP002 Price £7.50

either can be hung up on a nail or peg when not in use.

Coat / Tack Racks


6 peg coat / tack rack

These racks were originally made for hanging coats etc on , but we realized they would be just as effective for hanging up bits and pieces of tack, etc.

The rack above is the six peg version, we also make a three peg version. To fill an odd sized location we can build a single or a twin to make up a size to fit.

If longer lengths are needed it is best to purchase multiples of six’s or threes to make up the length required.

Sizes 6 peg 33” long x 6” high Code CTR06 Price £12.50

3 peg 16.5” long x 6” high Code CTR03 Price £7.50


3 peg coat / tack rack


Tool Racks


3 peg tool rack

These are designed to take either T handle or D Handle garden or equestrian tools, such as spades and forks, if mounted high enough they can even be used to hang up hoes etc.

They are made in two sizes, the three hook version above and a two hook version shown below.

Sizes 3 hook 28” x 6” Code TR03 Price £12.00

Sizes 2 hook 17” x 6” Code TR02 Price £7.00


2 peg tool rack


Novelty products


horse shoe key holder

This is a novelty key holder, it is made from a recycled horseshoe, reshaped to form the horses head and tail, it has detail of the eyes, nostrils, mane and tail forged on when hot, and the key hooks welded into the old nail holes. Unfortunately the picture does not do justice to the detailing which is clearly visible on the real thing. Size 11” x 5”

Code KH01 Price £8.00



Boot / Shoe Cleaner


Boot / shoe cleaner

This is a sturdy and stable freestanding boot cleaner, it has a central bar to remove mud from the bottom of boots and shoes, and the brushes each side will remove any mud and dirt from the sides without the need to use a broom. It measures 13” long x 12” deep x 10.5” high.

Code BC01 Price £15.00

Ragwort Fork


Ragwort Fork
This is a heavy duty ragwort fork which we have designed ourselves and has been tested by our friends who have a paddock full of Ragwort.

It has four 10mm tines which are 4” long and made in a pattern which holds and lifts the entire plant and root ball out in one go.

It has been tested on very hard dry stony ground and it performed admirably , the only time it was found to fail was when attempting to remove very small plants, but we also make a long handled multi weed tool which will remove these small weeds.

Dimensions width 7”, length 35”

Code RF01 Price £17.00


Multi weed Tool

Multi weed tool
This is a tool for removing smaller weeds than the ragwort fork, it is fitted to a 60” straight shaft and has four tines, they are 8mm diameter, with the outer two being 3” long and the inner ones 4” long, the tine spacing is reduced on this tool compared to the ragwort fork so the smaller weeds don’t pass through the gap, it has a levering pad on the back to help with weed removal.

Dimensions width 6”, length 64”

Code MW01 Price £12.00


Dutch Hoe

Dutch Hoe
This is a variation in dutch hoe design, I personally have never seen this pattern for sale anywhere, I originally saw this type made from an old draw hoe that my Grandfather heated in his forge and basically straightened out the hook and reversed it to make a dutch hoe, having used this particular hoe for the last twenty or more years I have found it to be vastly superior to any of the 'A' frame type on the market as this has only the central rod to catch rubbish around, plus it will cut on the push and pull strokes, it all amounts to a tool that requires the minimum amount of effort to use.

It has a 6” x 2” blade which is hand forged, sharpened and polished, mounted onto a 1/2” steel swan neck which is then welded to the handle socket, it has a 60” wooden handle.

Code DH01 Price £12.00


Boot Stand

Boot Stand 3 pair
This boot stand will take 3 pairs of wellies or riding boots, and keep them tidy when not in use. It is made from 6 horseshoes and tubular uprights to place the boots on.

Size diameter 18”, height 21”

Code BS01 Price £22.00


All sizes are approximate



Hanging basket bracket

hanging basket bracket
This is a robust and very strong hanging basket bracket, it has four mounting holes pre drilled, and is made from three horse shoes welded together to make the wall plate, the arm and scrolls are made from 3/4” flat bar, which should be able to hold even the heaviest of hanging baskets without risk of bending or breakage.


Size 18” high x 6” wide, arm stands out by 12 1/2”


Code HBB01 Price £5.00 each or £9.00 / pair


Pot plant holders

compact pot plant holder
This is the compact version of our plant pot holders, it is another product made from re used horse shoes, utilising five of them to make the wall plate, which is pre drilled for screw and rawlplug fixing. Three more shoes are welded on at right angles to make the hoops for putting the pot plants in, they look at their best with small trailing plants in them.


Size 16” wide x 11” high, hoops stand out by 6.5”, capacity is 3 x 4” pots.

Code CPPH01 Price £8.00


large pot plant holder
This is the larger version of the compact pot plant holder, it is made in the same way but with six horse shoes making the wall plate to give larger trailing plants more space to spill over without trailing over the bottom holder, it is also pre drilled for fitting.


Size 17” wide x 15” high, hoops stand out by 6.5”

Capacity is 3 x 4” pots


Code LPPH01 Price £10.00


All sizes are approximate



We can also make variations to the above stock items, such as different sizes, hoops for larger pots, more pots on one unit, etc, etc.



We can also design and build free standing plant stands or window box’s to your requirements, either using horse shoes or new steel or a combination of the two.




We would be pleased to quote for any other garden metalwork you may require, be it railings or security grilles, to gates, etc.



We can also quote for specific coatings you may require in addition to our normal painted finishes, such as powder coatings.
