Even Rocks 🪨 crumble. No shame 😢. We all should be thankful 🙏 we had the privilege of learning about this man. You sharing your feelings is a privilege to all of us ✨️.
Yellowstone made me mourn a man I never knew existed…that’s what makes this show so unique. It brought fwd the emotions of purpose commitment and how a man that makes spurs touch the hearts and souls of so many. I now know he gave Rip, a pair of $10,000.00 spurs for free…
IDK But I’m 53 years old and I Know Mr Klapper has taught me More than I’ll Ever Fucking Remember. Great Man. Used to hang around his shop till he took me in to “Learn a little “
i rode in an all women's riding club for many years, Silver Spurs in Salt Lake City Utah. I have spurs but nothing Billys, wish I could afford a pair of Klappers.... RIP Billy
10k for a pair of klappers, but he deserves it. I like that he told the price and how long it took him. There are many people out there who can easily pay 10k for that.
Years ago I made one piece spurs out of model A axles. The standing in one place grinding became too much for me and plus the amount of time that was involved. Nice product when I finished though. People don’t realize the hard work that goes into a one piece spur. Mine never did sell for 10K though.
Who ended up here after watching Yellowstone?
😂
Yep
🫡😂
What's Yellowstone?
@ get this guy tf out of here 😂😂
A fitting send off on Yellowstone to a true Legend Rest in peace
The Master at Work!
I am happy for him that he was given recognition on Yellowstone before he passed. I am happy I got to "meet" him. RIP, sir. You won't be forgotten. 😢
Hats off to this man. Our modern society could really learn a thing or two from him. RIP and thank you to RHC for making this.
Salt of the Earth. Rest in peace my good man! Kudos to Yellowstone for this honor😢
RIP Billy! An amazing artist that took his skill set with him! You will be missed 💔
Can’t help,but tear up.

I’ve been to Pampa Texas hundreds of times and I never been by his shop now I regret it
What a talented and humble man.
True Artisan.
This was like watching
The last of his kind
So beautiful
Hats off to Sheridan the cowboy and series creator for honoring Mr Klapper in this way, pretty cool.

Yellowstone brought me here. RIP Mr. Klapper, a true craftsman.
RIP great man!

У мастеров нет национальности , они люди планеты! Светлая память мастеру из техаса!
Wonderful words dear friend.
He looked and sounded like his age but moved like a youngster handling the equipment.
RIP Billy

I knew this guy was real!!! Saw him on Yellowstone.
Hey was my neighbor growing up on Finley street
Pampa Texas. One piece spurs are very nice. Much more talent than a welder.

True craftsman they don’t make many like Bill nowadays
It's too bad our modern society does not have room for such artists anymore. That is indeed a dying art.
This guy did
People always get put out by creative destruction, and then years later, we appreciate the personal styling.
Inherited a pair # 108, interesting story how my late father acquired the pair years ago
These are works of art which I imagine are unfortunately not being used as intended but being snapped up by collectors .
$10k for a set of spurs! Damn
yes but he was a legend, and there are many people for them 10k are nothing
Such talent lost what a shame
