Very educational. Those two guys in that video look like Elmer Keith looked back then. We need guys like them today.

I remember that Tom Horn spent many months making hair bridals, reins and ropes while waiting to be hanged. A lot of that stuff used to be displayed at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in OKC. His rifle and saddle were part of that display too. Yeah, I know they changed the name but I can never remember it.

Nothing new same as spinning wool into yarn or making rope.
I should string up one of my rope making machines and shoot a vid one of these days. :)
Not taking away from the cowboy way as the doing things out of necessity is cool. 8)

Senor Wright... bridals are stuff for brides... a bridle is headgear for a horse... :P :lol: I don't imagine Tom Horn made stuff for brides...
