great video . i have a couple of questions if you dont mind. what size thickness is the spur band ? what do you recommend the thickness of a spur band to be? thank you for the smiles and laughs. trying to find a press like that. any recommendations on a press like that?

Thank you Ricardo. The bands I use are made from 1/4” but taper to 1/8” from the center to the ends. Most makers use 3/16” with this style. The press is called an arbor press. This one is about 3 tons. Search them on the web and you’ll find lots of options.

Not sure if you’ll get this being an older video but how do you go about making the bands for different size boots? Do you have multiple jigs?

So I really don’t change band size for boot size. I have a man’s and a woman’s. There is the extreme case in a size 13-14 mens might need a little longer. EE width requires a different form. Those are wider at the back and have to be shaped properly to begin with.
