- I hope you enjoy this video I put together showing how I made myself a pair of spur straps. You don't have to be a professional to be able to make functional gear. Don't get me wrong, pro tack is great, but making your own gear is satisfying as well. For more project ideas, visit:

Damn that’s cool, I’m new to leather work, years ago I used to rodeo and should have made my own. But I didn’t know then, what I know now. Cheers cowboy.
Thanks, Raptor. Glad you found the channel and appreciate the work. I hope it may help you a little in your own shop. Thanks again, and take care.
Well done!!! You are inspiring me to get some leather work done.
Thanks, and I hope you go after it! Sounds like you already know the satisfaction of making and using your own gear. Appreciate your comment, Nathan.
Great work brother you are inspirational .
Thanks, friend. I appreciate the kind word, and do hope that it might give people a nudge to make great things of their own. Good luck!
I was always taught the buckle goes to the outside?
Yes, Gary, they can. This is one of those regional things I think. Depending on where you're from, depends on what you do. I'm a buckle-in feller myself.

Hey, amigo. Good to hear from you and glad you enjoyed it!
Supposed to wet the leather it makes for better tooling!!
Thanks for the comment, Michael and I appreciate the advice. However, at about 2:40, you can see that I did wet the leather. I tend to let it get a little drier for my basket stamping, as I had some problems in the past when I tried when it got too wet. I'm not unhappy with the tooling, though things can always stand some improvement.
