JRedding Report post Posted October 3, 2008 I haven't posted in a while, and they seem a little slow coming lately, so here's what we've got to add. It's a ranger style, I drew the belt pattern but I didn't choose it, it's made to match a pair of boot tops the gentleman had made some time in the past. Dyed background, with the leaves and flowers under resist and the rest oiled to a little darker color. Twelve Clint Orms conchos, six with his brand and six with a stone set in them and a finger carved back. It was a joint project, I tooled the belt and Arvis did the color and finish.

steveb Report post Posted October 3, 2008 wow - that is something, really nice carving and construction - love the custom metal work. I have a question though - how do you approach the math for the spacing of the conchos in relation to the buckle and the "perfect" hole... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JRedding Report post Posted October 3, 2008 wow - that is something, really nice carving and construction - love the custom metal work.I have a question though - how do you approach the math for the spacing of the conchos in relation to the buckle and the "perfect" hole... I'm not good at math usually but this I can do, it's simple or I'd have to call in my teenager, I measure from the center (fold to center hole to find center) measure outward to the tapers or in this case the billets because it was a ranger, as far as you want to spread the conchos, divide that number x the number of conchas you're using and you'll have the right spacing to cover the distance you have to work with. That's probably not how a math teacher would do it but it works for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beautiful work, J R. The finger cuts on the back are a reminder of works I've seen by Ray Poja and Bob Dellis. Clint's shop is about a mile from my house, so I recognize this as a very expensive piece of work with the fine craftmanship on your part and the sliver by Clint. Thanks for the chance to see it.
