bhansen05 Report post Posted May 5, 2010 They look very good. I love the tooling on the queen chaps. It looks really nice. I actually have a pair of chinks from you and they have been great. Very durable and still look really nice. How do you make your pocket hook? I've tryed to get the leather to roll up as tight as you but by the time i get the tail threw it it is loose. Help with this would be great. I love how they look and work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dink Report post Posted May 5, 2010 I think the best suggestion I have for the first ones is determine the strap amount needed for the size button you want, and then glue it and roll it tight and clamp it until your glue sets up then you make your hole an put the narrowed strap end through. I have not found an easy way to feed it through yet, I cut my hole from both sides with a bleeder knife then reach through with a pair of forceps. another way that I have done the pull through is by using the old type buckstitch needles that are hollow and have threads in them and can screw onto the end of the strap. Hope this is helpful. Dink They look very good. I love the tooling on the queen chaps. It looks really nice. I actually have a pair of chinks from you and they have been great.
