eatbeef88 Report post Posted February 10, 2013 I have been looking for spur strap templates and am having a hard time finding any. I'm looking for both one-piece and two-piece. The ones from that you can print out from Tandy are too small and the shapes are somewhat plain. Any suggestions or resources? Thank you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted February 10, 2013 Tandy sells a "package", . . . big white envelope, . . . I disremember the author, . . . but you will be hard put to find anything better for starting out. It'll give you a good foundation, . . . getting your edge designs, . . . spacing, . . . notching, . . . all that needs to be laid out right or you might just as well hang em on with a pair of pliers and some bailing wire. Make a couple pairs of basic straps, . . . wear em for a day or a week, . . . figure out what you do and don't like about em, . . . then adapt the pattern to what you want.

Northmount Report post Posted February 10, 2013 See http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/search/searchresults/6015-01.aspx Includes several patterns and types. Once you get what you want working, ask blackriver laser to make a template set based on your drawings and spec. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brazos Jack Report post Posted March 24, 2013 Try these out. I made them a few years ago and have been wanting some public opinion. They are made so the concho hides the spur button and look pretty darn fancy. Jim Spur Straps.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

camano ridge Report post Posted March 24, 2013 It's hard to carve patterns on bailing wire. Jim, good to see you back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brazos Jack Report post Posted March 24, 2013 B'sides . . . . . . . bailing wire is for holding up mufflers on Chevy pickup trucks! Great to be back, been too long! Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnj Report post Posted March 24, 2013 I think that bailing wire did come before duct tape! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northmount Report post Posted March 24, 2013 #9 wire works better for your pickup. A little harder to twist up tight, but a fencing pliers usually does the job. Lasts a lot longer on country roads and trails! Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are made so the concho hides the spur button and look pretty darn fancy. Jim Thank you for the pattern, I plan on using it for my next project. It's really tough to find free patterns.

PJCustomLeather Report post Posted April 1, 2016 Look up this book it is great! Sheridan Style 15 New Spur Strap Patterns Including One Piece Spur Straps. Just finished first one out of there, and it looks great. I believe sheridan also has another spur strap patter book besides this one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
