J.R. McChesney was probably the biggest name in the production of antique Texas style bits and spurs.  His shop was the largest west of the Mississippi for a period of time and he employed many other famous makers at one time or another.  It is said that McChesney was the first to make one piece spurs from metal taken off farm equipment and axles.  The one-piece spur quickly became the predominant style in Texas as the spurs were strong and durable without a joint that had the potential to fail between the heel band and shank.  McChesney is probably most famous for his gal-leg design which some people claim he invented, though most historians dispute that fact.
