and I go all the way back to the north side. He had the coolest gallery studio space in Texas, in the Ft Worth Stock Yards. A couple boys from New Mexico who build cool s**t have tried to make the world more beautiful one piece of art at a time.
My kids have always loved his shirts and I have bought every one. When was using Tricky Nicky’s designs my daughter .casey13 said hell no! And made me call Nick to make sure they weren’t knocking him off. That’s what hard scramble folks do for each other. They watch each other’s back.
Thank you 🙏 Nick for the work of art you shared with me I hope you sell a million of them!
You can purchase my current work in Santa Fe or on their website now. I’m just one man trying to make cool s**t so the world is a more beautiful place ☮️❤️

20 ton electric hydraulic press at work shaping 1/8 inch steel saddle conchos. I do miss having access to one of the electric machines, especially when shaping harder materials like steel.
For close to a decade I tested jewelry tools and equipment, essentially I was paid to determine the breaking point under “normal” conditions of the equipment. I put the Bonny Doon presses and attachments through a lot of high stress use that easily went beyond “normal” use in a jewelry setting.
I did this because I have fellow crafts people who do work with horse equipment, cars, knifes and a lot of other non-traditional uses for Bonny Doon tools and I had to know for myself that the tools would hold up to the stress they would put the tools under and they did every time. So if you’re wondering if they are tough enough I think they are. ☮️❤️
