Grunt Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 Marlon, Very nice work indeed! I like it! Thankfully my wife doesn't look around in this forum, or I would have making one of those lamps added to my "Honey-do" list. Regards, Nick Quote

I've already got "orders" for my mom and uncle. My wife tried to steal this one, so I imagine she's attached it to her list without saying so. Marlon Quote Marlon

Ian Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 That's really nice. Just to let you know, Weaver sell the wooden stirrups for $13-$18 a pair. The plastic ones are around 10 a pair, so it's not a huge difference. I'm trying to figure out where you ran the cord. Hmm... Quote http://blackcanyonleather.net/
Members Spider Posted March 24, 2008 Members Report Posted March 24, 2008 Marlon, This is a very clean lamp. I always like when you post because you are so thorough and just plain frea'n knowledgable like many others here. That is why I am impressed but not surprised. Sweet lamp.

Members Rawhide Posted March 25, 2008 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2008 Ian, The cord is ran through a hole in the bottom of the stirrup, and up the inside of one of the sides, then it goes in a groove under the block that holds the lamp assembly and out of a hole in the center of the block. Spider, Aw Shucks! thanks for the compliments. I hope to help as much as I've been helped. Marlon Quote Marlon
Timbo Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 That is very sweet Marlon!!!! GOOD JOB!!! I've always wanted to do a pair of stirrups for some reason, but never knew what I would do with them when I got them done. Now I know. Also check out Jeremiah Watts sight as he has some really nice decorative stirrup bolts. They have a concho on one end and are not very expensive either. It would give more options for dressing them up. Thanks for posting this. Tim Quote
Members CollinsMS Posted March 25, 2008 Members Report Posted March 25, 2008 Nice twist on old west tradition. The tooling is top notch, a pattern such as basket weaving is harder than most think. Good job! http://www.theleathercraftsman.com Quote
