    Hello from Cornwall

    Hi guys n gals, I'm Matt originally from Manchester but living in Cornwall. I've been making sgian dubhs for the past few years and I've been told that I should share and show my work off a bit more. It's my first time on any forums like this so I'm kinda looking for feedback, tips and advice as well as making some friends along the way.

    Well met Matt. Many of our members (I'm included) make our own sgian, sporrans, flashes, etc. We always like to see other products for the technical differences. Many other members are looking for sgians to purchase and would love to see your wares. Please feel free to display photos of you blades.

    Glad to have you with us.

    Matt,

    I am not a person who is talented in making items. So I am always in awe of those who can. Looking forward to seeing your works. And, by the way, welcome!

    Welcome from Sunny Southern California!

    One branch of my family were Cornish miners from a village called Tywardreath. (If you've seen Doc Martin you have a general idea of what Tywardreath looks like.)

    I'm looking forward to seeing your sginean. Have you ever made a Cornish-themed sgian? That might be pretty cool.
