starting the penultimate kilt

**Alan H** · 16th November 09, 12:00 PM

It's the next-to-the-last one. It's for me. I cut it out and joined the halves this morning.

I won't document this one, step by step since I've done that three times before, but, it feels good to finally break out of my miasma of lack of motivation and get started. It's in Ancient MacNaughton.

After this one, I have the Dutch Mackay to do for Piper George, and then I'm an "ex-kiltmaker".

Hi Alan,

Let me be the first of a long line of members to say "I believe you", "Maybe".

Regards

Chas

Boy I hope you have a support group to help you as a former kiltmaker. Is there a chapter of kiltmakers anonymous there?
I do have to admit the boat looks really interesting.

Yes are there X-kilt makers or just recovering kilt makers. Be careful of getting to close to a bolt of 100% virgin wool in a discount bin. Passing by the local yard goods establishment and see the new line of como cloth on display.

Remember that we are all there for you we can sponsor you and help you through the late night session of searching the Tartan Authority for new designs.

That it is. That's an elfyn.

I'm not building that exact boat, but rather something very much like it, of my own design. I've made the first model, figured out the problems (there was a big one) and am starting on model #2.

Alan - just like there are no ex-Marines you may become a retired kilt-maker, but never an ex-kilt-maker. Now if you want to style yourself an X-kilt-maker, that's a different ting.

Best.
