Billy Klapper is a renowned spur maker with a rich history of experiences to share. The Cre8ive team traveled to Pampa, Texas to document his story and his artistic process. They spent several days filming as Billy demonstrated his skills and commitment to his craft, showcasing his hard work, determination, and dedication to his craft.
Billy Klapper is one of the very few spur makers who remain alive, that were trained by the spur makers of old. Pulling his experience and influence from other makers such as Adolph Bayers, Klapper, now 70 years old learned to make the spurs himself.
Although Klapper began to make spurs earlier than 1966, this was the time when he began to mark them with individual serial numbers and markings. He has over 680 patterns that he made spurs from, but he also accommodates any custom spur designs.
