Members JRedding Posted October 3, 2008 Members Report 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. Quote

steveb Posted October 3, 2008 Report 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

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
