    Paying it forward - free to a good home.

    Last year I had The Artificer rebuild an old Pipers Horsehair Sporran I have had since since 1968. There was nothing wrong with it, per se - I just fancied one of his remarkably fine leather cantles and different colour tassels, and thought rebuilding and recycling my old one made the most sense, financially. I'm also quite fond of the old thing and giving it a new lease on life appealed to my sentimental nature.

    The original belt, cantle and tassels, including the screws and the wee attaching rings, are now surplus to requirements. Rather than go through the faff of selling these on an auction site, I decided to offer them here to a DIYer.

    This is the Sporran after The Artificer worked his magic...

    Here are some pics of the spare parts:

    NOTE: Like the title says ~ FREE to a good home. I'll happily send them anywhere in the World. They are quite light and the package will be small-ish. I shouldn't think it will cost that much to post. All I ask is that you pay the postage. I'll parcel it up and get the cost once I know where it's going and you can pay the postage via PayPal. Oh, it comes from a 100% smoke free home and the tassels don't smell foostie at all.

    First come. First served. Good luck!
