(Mandatory Blacksmithing Content)  There's pins and bolts and hooks and
other stuff that needs to be forged for a good yoke.  The load that can be
pulled is only as good as the forgings for the hardware.

Made a set of pins for the ox yoke used on the pair for Fanshawe Pioneer
Village.  The Drover thought that they where great.  They wanted to know if
I could shoe the ox.  I quickly declined that job....putting shoes on 1 1/2
tons of hamburger each) is not my idea of fun.
