Handmade spurs http://www.BitandSpurMaking.com Start to finish spur making with Bruce Cheaney, Gainesville, Texas.
A few shop tools like bench grinder & buffer, belt sander, anvil and stump, cutting torch rig, steel work bench, four inch shop vise, ball peen hammers, pliers and so on and your in business.
Spur making is challenging and at the same time fun and rewarding each time I make a pair of custom spurs I learn something new that I will try on the next pair.
The purpose of this video is to show the viewer "you" the steps of spur making and the transformation that takes place with the joining of steel and blending the welds right through to cleaning up the silver and the engraved spur at the end.
Working with my hands is a way of life for me and if I can encourage a young person or even a old timer to start a craft I have done my job here on earth. Bruce Cheaney
