Horseshoe Cord Holder

This horseshoe cord holder provides a simple but sturdy hook that can be used to hang many things.
A bent piece of metal welded across the hook will make a cord holder that will not kink the cord.
Materials

One used horseshoe
3x8x1/8" steel
Preparing the Horseshoe

Drill ¼" holes through one end of the horseshoe.
Bending the Horseshoe


Clamp the middle horseshoe in a vice so that it is sideways
Bend the part of the horseshoe that faces up to 90 degrees.
Spreading and Welding the Cord Holder

Open the bent section so that the sheet metal will fit between the two arms, then bend the steel plate into a ½ circle. Weld the curved section into the horseshoe and hang the horseshoe.
