How to turn horseshoes into improvised caltrops

Post by Jered »

These horseshoes were used and were worn out. I cut them in half at the bottom, and then welded them together at right angles. I've never done any welding before so my work looks like crap, but I think that they would work pretty well.

I think that all I'd need to do is sharpen the ends. If you have horseshoes sitting around that need a purpose, here's an idea.
