Rocking W Spurs owner Charles Wendt is a retired Industrial Arts teacher and has spent several years teaching students in his public school classes the skills and art of spur making for class projects. In his private spur making classes, each student will receive individual assistance while building their own pair of spurs:
- design
- materials selections
- fabricating principals
- finishing techniques
- the process of mounting overlays to spurs
Each student will have an opportunity when they complete the class to have a finished pair of spurs to show for their effort. All materials will be provided for the class and each student will have access to the equipment needed to make a two piece spur.
With over 20 years of spur making experience to draw from, the students will have a chance to learn some of the “tricks” of the trade and see some of the jigs and use the tools needed to make their own pair of spurs.
Schools will be limited to 2 or 3 students at one time. Students will have to provide their own hotel rooms and meals. For more information contact us to schedule a class for spur making.
