"plain" Black Canyon Rig From The Will Ghormley Pattern Set

Recommended Posts

As the title said this is a "plain" version of Will Ghormley's Black Canyon Rig with no tooling or stamping. I did use the Black Canyon Buckle sets and some of the Black Canyon conchos to spruce it up. I had a few screw ups, like adding one too many cartridge loops which messed up the alignment of the chape side. I shortened the chape and had to move it forward and use one of the buckle hook holes for the chape side rivet hole to get everything back in line. I may redo the cartridge loops as the strip came up pretty short leaving only the skived tip of the strap to attach the conchos through when I finished the last loop. I have a copper rivet I want to redo also for the holster wrap too as the rivet did not dome over very well.......Rorypost-22189-0-83125100-1365970280_thumb.j

Looks like you're doing good things Rory. It's a little hard for me to see a lot of what's going on with just the one picture but it sounds like you know what you want to fix and/or do better next time. Keep up the good work!

Hey Josh.

Thanks for the compliments and thanks for looking! Sorry for not posting more photos. If I get a chance I will go back and add few more. This was my first attempt with this pattern, so I wanted to get the feel of making one in its basic sense first. The next one will be lined, both holster and belt.............Rory

Nice job But that buckle set looks like it's for a woman IMHO.

Thanks Samalan. I can understand where you are coming from on the buckle sets, but the look very closely resembles the popular Black Hills Gold jewelry in a way. Most of the Men's Black Hills Jewelry I own (rings) have been made with either sterling silver or gold for the main portion of the jewelry and feature a brass and a copper leaf. The combination of the colors seem to work well together. Thanks for looking..........Rory
