Threepets I know this maybe to late but I have just made a how to make chinks DVD that will help you make chaps. This is a 2 1/2 hour DVD that goes from start to finish on a single pair so you get to see how I make mine. you can order them at www.cowcampsaddlery.webs.com

Here is the latest headstall off the bench. This is a prize for the Southeastern Buckaroo Association. I used HO 9/10oz strap for the tooling leather and 4/6oz laitgo for the lining. I had the silver work done by Wages Silversmiths. I made three all the same for them hope you like these. Mark

Steve You just keep my on the edge of my seat waiting for the next saddle you will make. I see stuff that I can try to use on not only a saddle but other gear. Thanks for sharing it with us. Mark

JW Looks really nice. You are setting a great mark for, us guys just starting out, to shoot for, Thanks. Mark

Here is what I have been told but Cuffs In the old days the shirts came with one length of sleeves so if you had long arms the shirt would not cover the whole arm leaving it exposed to the elements, sun,cold and anything that would cut burn or scratch you arm. cuffs would protect your from these things. some used gloves with the gauntlets for the same thing. There where times when they would not need to wear gloves and so the cuff act as gauntlets on the gloves. I have no idea if this is true or not but makes sense to me. as I have long arms and if I have a shirt that is short I can use the cuffs to protect my arms. Mark

Josh I am using 8/9oz and lining it with 2/3oz. hope that helps Mark

Here are some prizes I have made for the Southeastern Buckaroo Assassination. These are a set of slobber Leathers and a set of Spur straps they are out of HO leather and have wages silver on them. Mark

I just finished these today and I think they turned out well. There are made from HO. This Is a new pattern I have worked up and is in the slobber strap pattern pack I have for sale. Mark

Here is a headstall I just finished last night. Leather is HO 9/10 oz lined with 5/6oz Latigo the Silver is from Wages Silversmiths. Mark

Rob That looks like it would work nice to me. I think you will sell it at 350.00 but I think you should set the price at 400.00 at least. Mark

Rob not sure send it out to me and I will test it for you and let you know. Looks great Rob get all you can. Mark

Tim Really nice work on these. I would have to say the something as Elton. They rap around the leg a little to much from the knee down I think. I have not made any rodeo chaps all working chaps here but have seen a lot of them. Nice work on them Tim keep it up. Mark

King's X Yes it is, a tool made by Elton Joorisity. He is a member here at Leather Worker. They are very nice I hope to get more from him soon. Mark

Here is a pair I just finished for my youngest son. They are out of HO leather. Mark

Bob Well put thanks for the input that helps me a lot. Mark

I just received these from Elton this last week. I just wanted to say that I really like them and thought I would share it with all of you here. I have these pictures of the stamps and the impressions that they have made. Thanks Elton Mark

Bronson I gave 175.00 for that knife and will not sell it but I know he has some of them made up. Mark

Well I have the Patterns done. and some are printed up now. I will put them on My web site for $10.00 each. I hope this will help out. I would love to just give them out but it costs to have them printed up and to ship them out. I have not got the breast collar patterns worked up yet just the martingales.I have two different one in the pattern pack. I also have slobber strap patterns too. I hope to have them on the website too. www.cowcampsaddlery.webs.com Or shoot me an E-mail at cowcampsaddlery@wildblue.net Thanks Mark
