Johnny Ringo Rig from "Tombstone", "How-To" web page

[will ghormley]

Hey Guys,

I'm well into the pattern for the Johnny Ringo Rig.  I've got all the individual holster variations done, the belt pattern done, the proto-type done, now I just have to build the "How-To" site, transfer all my patterns and instructions onto the large sheets to get published, and create the envelope front and back with the materials and tools list.

I just got started on the web page and don't have any instructions yet, just a photo of the finished rig that will be in the pattern, and a still from "Tombstone".  I may even include a "How-To" on making Johnny Ringo's spur leathers on the web page.  But, that's all yet to get done.  Right now, I've got to head out to meet the rest of my sisters and brothers and take my dad to a belated Father's Day lunch.  I'll get back to work on the sight after I get back.

Here's the link:

Hey Guys,

I'm happy to get this Ringo Rig out there.  It has been one of my most requested patterns, (even though I didn't do the rig in the movie!).

Cowboy316, I'm sure you'll do great with it.  If you have any problems, you can get some tips from Dalton.  He knocked his "Hand of God" rendition right out of the park!

Nice work Will. How can I got the conchos for the rig?

Hey Dalton,

Yeah, I looked all over for the right conchos.  The originals from the movie looked to be silver with stampings.  The contour of the conchos had been changed by the stamps and weren't perfectly round any more.  So, when I carved out the wax masters for casting conchos, I replicated the distortions in the silver from the tools.

The conchos that I'm sellin' are white bronze.  When I first had the conchos cast, I had a set made in silver.  I just used those silver conchos for the proto-type that will be on the envelope cover.  As the dollar get more and more worthless, it takes more and more of 'em to buy silver with!  Imagine that.

I got the second page of the "How-To" done.  I should finish up the third and last page today.  Then, I'll be able to get back to work finishin' up the pattern.

Thanks Dalton!
Will

Hey Boothill Bob,

Will thank you so much for sharing.  Every time I read your posts I pick up new "secrets of the trade".  I particularly like the instructions on how you attach your spots.  It is such a better method than just bending them over.

[Boothill Bob]

That sounds good Will. I'll order it true Dick, he has paypal
so I can transfer money to him.

Man Will that is beautiful! You are so inspiring! I still need to order the HOG patterns from you, and now I HAVE to get the Ringo  as well. ( I keep owing you money! How does that work!!?  ) That is awesome. I love it! Heck I love just about all the stuff you've done!  I could sit and study the content of your website for days pard, and learn something new each time I do it! Excellent job Will!  Wander if my boss would let me work some OT this Saturday!!!!!! 

[will ghormley]

Well Amin,

It's my personal goal to make sure you don't have enough money to get in trouble with.  I'm tryin' to do ya' a favor.

[Dalton Masterson]

No, not saying that. I actually own several copies, and saw it on the big screen with my girlfriend in high school. Great movie.
Its just I havent had time here lately to dig it out and watch it to see what the Ringo rig looks like.
DM

[will ghormley]

You mean you saw "Tombstone" in High School!  Man, do I feel old.

Will

[Dalton Masterson]

LOL. I have my 20th reunion in 2 years if that helps Will.
Yep, Young Guns 1 and 2, Tombstone, Unforgiven, etc were all when I was in school.
