What Is a Farrier?

Horseshoeing

Knife Block

Horseshoeing is one of the oldest trades in the world, and one of the ancient blacksmith's primary jobs. The blacksmith used his anvil and forge to create many items made of steel. He heated the steel in the forge, primarily coal or organic fueled, then forged and shaped it on the anvil to create the sword, wagon wheel, or horseshoe. Today, the modern blacksmith performs primarily artistic pieces like gates, chandeliers, statues and the like. The Farrier now performs the trade of horseshoeing.

What is a farrier?

The farrier is a professional who makes a living putting horseshoes on horses. Today he is educated in a school that teaches him all of the anatomy surrounding the hoof, from horse conformation to subtle diseases affecting the hoof. In school and apprenticeship, he learns how to put horse shoes on, and how to treat most ailments of the horses hoof. Just a few decades ago, there were no horse shoeing schools, and the horse-shoer (farrier) came from a farm, or was an apprentice for a journeyman farrier so he could learn the trade. Many equine veterinarian firms have a practicing farrier on staff or referral because many farriers have a detailed knowledge of the horses hoof since that is their focus.

What are Farrier Supplies or Farrier Tools?

The tools of his trade: called farrier supplies, includes the following: an anvil, hammer, forge, tongs, hoof knife, rasp, hoof nippers and hoof stand, a nail clincher and clinch block, and a variety of other related farrier tools. The farrier uses his hoof stand to hold the horses leg and hoof upright, then he removes the old horseshoes, and using his hoof nipper and hoof knife he trims the hoof, then makes it smooth with his rasp. He then attaches the horse shoes to the hoof with special horseshoe nails. He must be careful when trimming the hoof, because it is similar to trimming your fingernails-there is a comfortable level of trimming, and then you can trim too deep and cause injury.

Professional farriers know how to correct the horses balance in walking with just the trimming of the hoof. Many times hoof coatings and hoof hardeners or other hoof care products are used to treat ailments of the frog, white line disease, quarter crack, or laminitis...all horse hoof ailments.

The Right Way to Properly Butcher a Deer

Deer hunting is a popular sport that hundreds of people do in order to have fun and catch some great meat for their family to live on for a month or two. But catching the deer is just one step that they take to preparing the meat. One of the most important steps that needs to be done is deer butchering.

Knife Block

The first thing you need to do is to dress the deer with a small incision at the crotch. Make sure to cut it beneath the hide and bring it to the bottom of the sternum. The incision needs to be a quarter and a half inch through the skin. As you go across the stomach make sure that nothing falls out.

Knife Block

You will need to remove the internal organs by hand and dispose of them in the proper way. To skin the hide use a quarter inch tip hunting knife and carefully separate the thin membranous hide.

You will need to use a saw to remove the head. Then cut into the rear leg ankles in the meaty part that is set between the ligament and the bone. Suspend the deer from the limb of a tree using block and tackle with the hide facing the sky.

Saw through the deer's backbone starting at the buttocks and working to the sternum. Then cut the shoulder joints and ham joints and set them aside to be wrapped up. Each portion of the deer that you are butchering will need to be wrapped securely in tin foil or plastic.

Martial Arts - Secret for Learning More

Learning As Quickly As Possible

Knife Block

When you are a beginner at any martial arts style, you want to learn as fast as possible. It's a normal human desire. You want to practice ... outside of class, but you aren't exactly sure of what or how to practice what you are learning in class or from an on-line course or book.

Knife Block

How much is too much practice? How little is too little?

Before I give you my secret recipe for martial improvement, let me ask you ...Did you know that some beginning martial artists practice so much that their practice actually gets in the way of any significant improvement. Their intensity and desire actually serves as a block ... an impediment to mastery of the basics.

Breaking Through the Learning Block

Here's my pattern for breaking practice block:

Set a 3:1 ratio of practice versus resting. And then within each practice session, set a 3:1 ratio of slow versus building towards speed of technique.

Here's what I mean ...

You attend your martial arts classes and do whatever the teacher requires. Then make note of each technique or sequence that was taught or practiced. When you get home, you are going to practice the techniques and sequences by yourself. Whether you practiced them fast or slow in class, you will start with slow practice. Execute each motion very slowly. Painfully slow movements. Concentrate on precision.

Speed is not allowed.

Do this for three days in a row. Then on the fourth day, start slowly, but build your speed. Eventually, make most of this session a "quick-as-you-can" practice. Really whip out each technique with pure speed. The next day, go back to slow practice.

Continue alternating, three days of slow, and then one of fast.

Martial-Arts Mini-Vacation

Do this for three weeks in a row with whatever moves you are learning and practicing in your formal classes. Then on the fourth week -- maybe the last week of each month -- don't practice at all outside of class. Don't even think about martial arts.

If you practice this way, I think you'll find that you show your most improvement after your week of rest. Sometimes, our minds and bodies need the breather, to absorb and get closer to mastery. It may seem strange, but it's true. Don't be surprised if your martial-arts teacher asks what you have been doing differently outside of class.

And if you are looking for a good little ebooklet on being ready for anyone and anything in martial encounters ...

Wood Carving For Beginners

Wood carving can be a great hobby for people of all ages. There is virtually a limitless amount of things a piece of wood can be shaped into and can be a great form of expression for the artist within. Wood carving for beginners start with the basics of what techniques and tools to use.

Knife Block

The first decision for wood carving for beginners is to know what technique they want to start with. There are four main techniques, which are whittling, relief carving, carving in the round and chip carving. Whittling is the act of cutting or removing bits of wood from a piece of wood. This is the most basic form of wood carving, however, it is less common today as modern day wood carving revolves around detailed and intricate designs. Relief carving is basically carving pictures into a piece of flat wood, a 3 dimensional image is created through the way the wood is removed. This is often used to decorate furniture or signs. Carving in the round is carving all the way around, which creates a more smooth and lifelike appearance over whittling. This technique offers the most flexibility as anything can be created into a three dimensional object. Chip carving is the use of knives or chisels to remove chips of wood from a block of wood to create patterns or designs. This technique is often used to decorate household items such as chests. Each technique employs a different set of tools.

Knife Block

Knowing what tools to use is a must for wood carving for beginners. Whittling is the simplest to get started as the only tools needed is a sharp pocket knife and a block of wood, this is probably the cheapest and simplest way for a newbie to get started. Chip carvers only require a couple of different knives to chip the wood surface and is another good choice to get started in wood carving as it requires only a few tools compared to the other techniques. Carving in the round requires more tools to accomplish as it requires a variety of knives, gouges and chisels. This technique employs almost any carving tool as a different feature may require a different set of tools. Relief carving requires a basic carving set to create the images onto the wood, however, it utilizes mainly gouges to create the effect. Carving in the round and relief carving can be quite a challenge for beginners, as they require more tools and patience.

Food Preparation Tips to Avoid Salmonella

In the United States alone, 1.4 million people are diagnosed with salmonella food poisoning and about one thousand of these cases lead to death. Most of these incidents happen from unclean and unsanitary practices at home. This article will discuss some of the symptoms of salmonella and what you can do to protect yourself and your family.

Knife Block

Salmonella is a bacteria that attacks the stomach and intestines. In serious cases, salmonella may go into the lymph tracts and blood. Normally, children and the elderly are the people whom this bacteria seriously hurt, but people of all ages can be affected by it. Most of the symptoms are diarrhea or constipation, stomach cramps, headaches, fever, nausea and vomiting, and possibly blood in the feces. Dehydration can also occur from the vomiting and diarrhea. If the diarrhea lasts more than 24 hours and is frequent and intense, or there is blood in the feces, a person needs to contact a doctor right away.

Knife Block

Some ways to reduce the chance of bacteria like salmonella from hurting your family is to always wash and dry hands after going to the bathroom and before preparing any food. If you are using a knife to cut meat, always wash it or exchange it for a clean one before cutting vegetables or fruit. Whether a person uses a plastic cutting board or a butcher block cutting board to cut meat doesn't matter. What matters is that the board is washed or changed for a different one, before a person cuts other food. A person should also change the dishcloths out every day and wash the dishcloths in hot water and an antibacterial soap. Always store food like meat, poultry, and fish in the refrigerator. Bacteria will easily grow on these foods if they are left out for long periods of time.

When cooking food, it is important to cook it thoroughly, as heat is the only way to kill the salmonella bacteria. Don't crack any eggs on the edge of a bowl. Salmonella only exist on the shell and it can contaminate other foods in the bowl.

The Best Buck Knives

Buck Knives has earned a reputation as this countries leading manufacturer of high performance knives. Withe uncompromising techniques and quality control being the cornerstone to their success, Buck Knives is the most common brand name knife searched for in the world.

Knife Block

If you open a Buck pocket knife and hold it horizontally with the blade facing down, you are holding it the correct way to determine the type of blade.A blade that runs parallel to the knife point is called a straight blade. This is primarily the blade of a hunting knife that can be use for slicing and skinning. A perfect example of this type of knife is the Buck knives Alpha Hunter. This is an excellent hunting knife and like all good Buck Knives type pocket knives can fit right in your pocket.

Knife Block

The drop point blade has a small dropped blade. It sloped one the spine of the blade all the way to the handle. A drop point blade is often used for hunting big game. This type of knife allows hunters to cut the skin away from an animal using the whole edge of the knife rather that just the tip. Without a hatchet available, it can be used to split the rib cage open or cut game. The Buck Knives Skinner is the ideal type of knife made for this. This blade was designed for easily skinning game with its narrow tip, and the curved belly that aids in getting through thick layers.

You should always select a Buck knife with function in mind. That factor alone helps you to rule out certain kinds of knives and narrow the overwhelming number of choices. Go with a brand you trust and a price you can afford for a knife that is not cheaply made. Buck knives make it easy to select the knife you needs.

End Grain Butcher Blocks Makes the Best Chopping Boards

Wooden Chopping Boards

Knife Block

When you think of a chopping board the first thing that comes to mind is the traditional wooden type. With time and the invention of technologies all around us it makes sense that technologies for the kitchen change and improve as well. Today there are three main materials used to make chopping boards in the kitchen. They are wood, plastic, and glass. There are two types of wood used - end grain wooden and flat grain.

Knife Block

Types of Wooden Boards

End grain wooden butcher block are the Cadillac of cutting boards. Individual boards of wood are arranged so the grain of the wood runs up and down in end grain boards. With this type of board the grain of the wood separates as the knife meets the surface of the board during the cutting process. You aren't cutting the actual wood of the board but actually between the fibers which will save the surface of the board and keep the sharpness of the knife. The flat grain cutting board is made with wood boards that are arranged horizontally so the edges of the board actually form the surface used for cutting. This cutting board is usually reversible to help extend the life of the board.

Disadvantages to use of Wood Cutting Surface

There are disadvantages to wooden cutting surfaces. One of the main downfalls of using wood for this type kitchen tool was that some woods can and will actually hold in dangerous toxins such as salmonella, bacteria and all kinds of other germs in its cracks and crevices. Wood boards can not be sanitized in the dishwasher because high temperatures can and often will render the board useless causing the wood to split and become warped and it will no longer lie flat on the counter top. You want the board to lay flat and steady when in use. Another disadvantage to using wooden chopping boards is they need to be treated regularly with some type of mineral oil in order to be able to extend the life of the board and protect it from the collection of mold. Pure mineral oil is the most popular form of oil used on wooden surfaces every week because is it cheaper. There are others who use the edible oils such as sunflower or olive oils but these oils must remain on the board for at least an hour before being thoroughly washed off.

Repairing Plaster Walls

Details on repairing plaster walls, here are a few steps that can help anyone that needs help in fixing plaster walls. There is a certain technique to it and if these steps are followed through correctly a hole in a plaster wall can be patched successfully.

Knife Block

1. Preparation- With a putty knife chip any loose or crumbling plaster from the edges of the hole until only solid plaster remains. Caution if you find seriously damaged lath underneath, the lath the lath must be repaired before replastering repair generally calls for the skills of a professional.

Knife Block

2. Undercutting all holes in plaster and all cracks wider than 1/8 inch or so must be undercut a procedure in which some of the old-but intact plaster is removed along the inner side of the hole (or crack) so that the patching material that is used as filler will bond securely to the solid plaster around the opening. To undercut use the tip of a beverage can opener or putty knife and scrape away a bit of the plaster under the rim of the hole. Then bevel the scraped area to make a V shaped hollowed under the surface. Vacuum or blow out the plaster dust from the undercut area.

3. Applying the first layer- Mix enough patching plaster to fill the hole almost completely. Moisten the back and edges of the hole with a sponge. Beginning at the undercut surfaces at the edges of the hole, apply the patching plaster is about ¼ inch below the surface of the undamaged plaster around the hole. While the patching plaster is still wet score its surface with the tip of the tapping knife. This scored surface will provide a firm grip for a second layer of patching plaster. Let the first layer set for about a half hour.

4. Applying the second layer. Mix a fresh batch of patching plaster. Dampen the scored layer of patching plaster and 2 or 3 inches of the undamaged surface and around the hole. Using a taping knife preferably wider than the hole, fill the hole with plaster to the level of the undamaged area, spreading the plaster onto the surrounding surface for an inch or so. Smooth this layer by drawing the knife blade evenly over the patched area. Let the plaster set

5. Completing the patch. Cover the filled hole with a smooth layer of wallboard joint cement or vinyl spackling compound, using a taping knife. Continue spreading the cement or spackling to an inch or so beyond the edges of the patching plaster. Let the patch area dry. When completely dry it will feel hard and have lost it clammy feel of wet plaster. Sand the dry area smooth with a sanding block and feather the edges of the compound into the surrounding surface. If you first do not succeed keep trying. Trying is the first step on becoming a great person. Thank you for reading.
