If you appreciate true originality and one-of-a-kind craftsmanship you are in for a treat. I am a hand engraver who specializes in finely embellished horseshoes. My horseshoes are given as heirloom gifts to commemorate births, weddings, anniversaries, and career achievements. All of my work is done by hand, so you can be assured that your engraving will be one of a kind. I engrave and inlay precious metals into, steel horseshoes primarily. Engraving horseshoes is my first passion and is the reason I learned to engrave in the first place, but I also enjoy engraving knives and my own jewelry line as well. Please have a look around the website and contact us if you would like to know more. Jim Brandvik - The Original Horseshoe Engraver |

 One of the things I love the most about doing what I do is having the occasional priviledge of being involved in something special. Each job is unique but some are more meaningful than others. Recently, I received an email from a lady named Margarita. She told me the story of her very special mustang. His name was Mico. Here is some of what she told me.
"I bought him from a horse trader who was ready to send him to slaughter because he was lame and no one wanted him. I know I paid too much for him, he was probably worth $100.00 but I didn't care, I knew something was there even though his eyes were dim and he was in a very sad state." |

 June is supposed to be the most popular month for weddings, but apparently July and August are also big wedding months. Lately most of the work I have been doing has been custom engraved horseshoes. I have shipped horseshoe wedding gifts coast to coast from California to New York during the last couple of months.

 I have never considered myself to be a particularly lucky person. I have endured my share of pain and loss and I have never made a fortune or even had my fifteen minutes of fame.
I have worked hard my whole adult life and have usually been able to carve out a modest but comfortable existence. As such, I have never put much stock in luck. Except for that which comes from a person's own hard work and determination. Heck, I have never even bought a lotto ticket... Not one. (I could never seem to suppress my public school knowledge of math long enough to allow myself such an indulgence.) |
