A set of Spurs for my Son
I think these will fit into this category nicely because they are pretty sharp.
I made these for my sons 18th birthday. I cant wait to see the man he is becoming.
I really hope he doesn't use them very much but I know he will.
Happy Birthday Son.

Beautiful spurs. Very nice work. And a very nice photograph too.
I hope he stays healthy and doesn't wear them out and becomes a carpenter or an electrician or a mason or a plumber.
Anything but riding bulls.

I don't know anything about spurs but those look very well made. Is this something you do on a regular basis? Superb photo by the way.

Yes, and Yes. I forged welded the shanks together. I forged the Rowels, heated and shaped the bands from a rasp and ground away everything that didn't look like a spur.Tony_Wood wrote:Excellent work, and great photo. Forged? Ground?

Those are beautiful! You did a fantastic job.
As to your son riding bulls, I surely do appreciate the guts and the skill those boys have. But I can’t imagine if it were my boy up there. I think my guts would turn inside out to see him a top of that bull. Lol.

If that's your first pair, I'd say you have some heavy-duty skills.Hoggslayer wrote:1st pair I ever made.

Re: A set of Spurs for my Son
I salute you Hoggslayer on an exceptionally fine and useful looking set of spurs. I think your boy will learn lessons in determination that will serve him well in life. I bet he will be proud of those spurs.
And those rowels are a work of art!

I love watching bull riders, but I think those guys are crazy;

Well, 1 1/2 pair. I made two left hand spurs at first and had to scrap one.XX Case XX wrote:If that's your first pair, I'd say you have some heavy-duty skills.Hoggslayer wrote:1st pair I ever made.
