Members diibbles134 Posted June 22, 2017 Members Report Posted June 22, 2017 finished my first set of chaps yesterday, im decently happy with the turn out being the first pair but still needs a little work. Quote
Members Clintock Posted June 22, 2017 Members Report Posted June 22, 2017 Really nice work. They look sharp Quote
Members diibbles134 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Members Report Posted June 22, 2017 Thank you so much Quote
Members Windrider30 Posted June 22, 2017 Members Report Posted June 22, 2017 really like those! Quote
bikermutt07 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Posted June 23, 2017 Great job. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members diibbles134 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Members Report Posted June 23, 2017 Thanks guys , couple things I would change for the next pair but it was good fun finally doing a pair , I've been wanting to for a while now Quote

Members CTaylorJr Posted June 29, 2017 Members Report Posted June 29, 2017 Those look great! Nice color coordination and the tooling looks excellent. Quote Charlie
Members Rolandranch Posted July 7, 2017 Members Report Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Those are very cool! I have made a pair of chinks that have almost the same colors as yours and I am finishing a pair of shotgun chaps that have the same yoke style. Did you get your pattern from Tandy Leather? Also, how long did it take you to do the tooling alone? Very nice! Here is my first pair of chinks. Edited July 9, 2017 by northmount Attached photo Quote
Members diibbles134 Posted July 8, 2017 Author Members Report Posted July 8, 2017 Thanks , yea I was really happy with how the floral came out. Um I would say few hours on the tooling I'm not as fast as some others, try resending your picture it didn't show up, and yes the original pattern was from Tandy but I modified it kinda combined chap types and made it more of a open leg shotgun style chap Quote
Members Windrider30 Posted July 8, 2017 Members Report Posted July 8, 2017 Forgot to ask what kind of leather did you use? Love these Quote
Members diibbles134 Posted July 8, 2017 Author Members Report Posted July 8, 2017 I used a 5-6 oz oiled utility side Quote
Members Rolandranch Posted July 9, 2017 Members Report Posted July 9, 2017 Sorry it didn't show up. I think it was too big the first time. Anyways, I did the same thing. This chink pattern was from Tandy but I modified it so I could cut the fringe on it. Quote
Members JimBilt Posted July 9, 2017 Members Report Posted July 9, 2017 Great looking chaps! Very nice tooling. Quote
