  1. Beautiful great Job I bet he likes them.
  2. Do you just use the blue tape? I may have to give that a try.
  3. What do you plan to ask for a nose band with halter and one with out. I go with who has the best price and the color and style I need. I had an orger last week for a nose band for a pony with a hot pink halter. It took me a while to fing a hot pink pony halter. You need to mark the cost of the halter up to help recover the cost of your time finding it and installing it. Doug
  4. Looks like you didn’t receive many responses sorry about that, folks can be odd about responding. I keep a few black, red, green and pink halters on hand for rush orders of course I don’t have any volume just a few a month. When you’re looking at the cost of a bronc halter the halter is the bulk of it at least the ones I make. Letting the customer dictate the type and quality of halter has an impact on the overall cost of the Item. If I’m going to a craft show or I’ll put some on inexpensive halters and leave the rest sitting out. Doug
  5. I purchased the spot setter from Tandy and it works great for me. I purchased my spots from someone else, I tried the spots that Tandy sells and they always bent or fell out. I buy mine from Oregon leather not sure where they buy there’s but they are a little thicker and the prongs are bent out enough that when you put them in the tool they stay put. I use a piece of 12 oz leather under my project and set as many spots as I can then pull the project off, its usually stuck pretty good but I think this helps to set the spots. I use a small flat tip screwdriver to bend the prongs over. I place the project back on the 12 oz leather spots down and using a mallet I smash the prongs down. One thing you can try is put a spot in the setter and draw two lines down the spot setter on either side lined up with the points on the prongs. On your project mark a line where you want them set. When you put the spot in the setter line the prongs up with the lines on the sides. Line the lines on spot setter up with the line on your project and with one quick blow with your mallet set the spot you have to make sure you strike the spot setter straight on. Hope this helps Doug
  6. Nice job
  7. The test tupe rack sound like a good idea and having a seprate block for the tools you have used on a project also sounds great I bet it keeps you from having to rember what you used a great time saver. Thanks fot the tips Doug
  8. You are the man, that was great. What kind of tape is that you are using

  12. I wonder if brewer's pitch would seal it.
  13. Nice Job I like the way they look.
  14. Did these Bronc Halters for some high school gals they like the blink and the color. Might have to give these another coat of paint the camera always shows the bad spots. Thanks for looking Doug
  15. Those are really neat do you form them over something to keep the shape, what grade of leather do you use and what kind of paint or stain. Thanks Doug
