Beautiful.

[@TheStonehammerFiles]

you showed me I can still attempt my own spurs. Though all I have is a flux core welder but I can clean up the welds.

[@kylegreenhaw6653]

Those parts came out so good, it looks like they were cut on a waterjet!

[@sheanyquist]

I'm getting really good with an angle grinder!

[@dennis1954]

And that is how they did it in the Old West, TIG welder and all.

[@sheanyquist]

Hahaha, and stainless steel

[@dennis1954]

Shea Nyquist, You never cease to amaze me with your talents. Looking forward to your next video.

[@thelaughlinclan4142]

very cool video..

[@Quintin-qp4hg]

You know klapper

[@davidwinters6058]

Working in a shop with alot of tools and sanders granted we dont have a tig but we have a wire feed welder im pretty sure i could do this ..
Im not saying their craft is easily replicated but after a few would get better and easier. But im pretty confident i could make my own ..
I have a pair on my ariat boots already and ive priced some wich got my interest wondering .. so i think im gonna aquire the materials to make the spur. But ill leave the leather work to others or just buy some straps but the spur its self im def gonna try ...

[@sheanyquist]

That's awesome! I'm glad I could motivate you go out and make something. Sounds like you have all the tool you need

[@davidwinters6058]

@@sheanyquist thanks for the encouragement

[@timheller5929]

also! pretty sweet

[@thomaselkins3207]

How do you know what length material to cut for the band and how tight to bend it for different size boots?

[@sheanyquist]

I like to make a cardboard template. I also make them a bit tight to start. Leather does stretch a bit after being broken in

[@sysublime5091]

There is this product called Muggy weld. Alot faster than tig. . 40000lbs p sq inch

[@jacobdillon3635]

What tungsten and filler rod did you use? Also where did you get the spur band template? Can't fine one online or anywhere.

[@sheanyquist]

I used the purple tungsten. I don't know what the chemistry is. Normal 3/32 stainless filler rod. I don't have a template anymore, but it isn't to hard to draw one up for your specific application. Just cut some paper til you have what you want

[@titus4166]

Good job. But the craving is quite choppy and needs more work. I wouldn’t have started with the background first. I would’ve worked in the Beveling first, before going in with a backgrounder. Other than that, looked ok.

[@sheanyquist]

Thanks for the tip

[@snowysnoozledo1959]

Did you use a spur band template? If you did where Can I find it. Looking to make a pair myself

[@sheanyquist]

Cool, I did not use a template. I measured up a friend's pair and used it for reference

[@snowysnoozledo1959]

@@sheanyquist Oh gotcha, thanks for the vid

[@timheller5929]

how long is your "U" before you bend it? and whats size pipe did you bend it on? thanks

[@jacobguitreau6454]

I would like to know the same thing

[@timheller5929]

@jacobguitreau6454 I found out, 8 to 8.5 and I just traced out my boot heal and went from there

[@jacobguitreau6454]

@@timheller5929 ok thanks for the information I am making a couple of pair out of a rasp and was wondering how too make the jig to bend them but I seen your jig

[@brianconroy7514]

Hahahaha all i can do is laughat the boots but cool project tho

[@gerrycoleman7290]

14:33 That spur is way too low on that boot.

[@sheanyquist]

Thanks for letting me know. I'm not much of a cowboy. Good thing I made the adjustable
