    Ultimate blacksmithing kilt is finished!

    I finally have my kilt for blacksmithing finished, so I figured I would start a new thread to show it off!!

    I made a YouTube video of it. My wife is not awake right now so I cant get any good photos, but here is the link to the video!

    https://youtu.be/fPgXeLu27pA

    I make a joke at the end about confusing Ireland and Scotland, I hope it doesn't irritate anyone, it's supposed to be a light hearted joke, and I hope it is taken that way.

    I am so excited about having this thing finished. It took me a couple weeks to get done. And I put at least 3 full days in, the rest was working on it as much as I could.

    I want to thank everyone here, while I didn't join until after I started making the kilt, people on this forum were very influential on the design of this kilt. You guys rock and I am glad to be a part of this community.

    Gonna make a Warped Legacy kilt pin, and a sporran with a padded pocket for my phone, not sure which I'll tackle next, but I'll keep you informed!

    I will post pics as soon as I can get someone to take them!

    And thank you again so much, you have no idea how much I appreciate the information I got here.

    Chapeau, my good man! Loved the video and threw you a subscribe while I was there. It was fun to watch, and brought back a lot of memories from when I was learning to make kilts. The *thunk* of the bending needle is something I remember all too well. Thanks for an entertaining 15 minutes and 41 seconds.

    That thunk scared the crap outta me the first time it happened. I figured out how to avoid it, then thought "I should get that on camera." Then I couldn't get it to do it again. It took a few tries to get that shot.

    And yes I'm a bit outta my mind....and I like it that way.

    Thanks for the subs!

    I got pictures, but I need to get to a computer to resize them for the forum(in on my phone now.)

    Awesome kilt*, great channel. I'll try to subscribe later from my computer!

    *I'm not a non tartan kilt wearer, but that was great! Although I stuff that much, including lunch, into my cargo pants when I'm on the ambulance.

    Cheers!

    Those must be some loose fitting pants! Even if my pants had that much storage, I'd have a hard time filling the pockets. I have a hard time getting pants big enough to get on let alone big enough to let the fabric move enough to fit that much stuff.
