At this point I have no plans to sell the cantles on their own. I have a good number of individuals on the 'wait list' for completed ones, and I don't know how large a run this will be. I'd rather not over-commit and sell piecemeal.

I really look forward to seeing where this goes. Thanks for a very interesting thread.
Thanks Jim, it's going... slowly

The old MoD cantles have little protrusions on the inside over which holes in the leather of the sporran fits. These don't appear on the face and do allow for considerable adjustment on the inside for the maker.

Without going further (and I can take/post pics if you wish), do you know what I am referring to?

No worries, Rex. We decided to steer clear of the 'stud' attachment method for several 'industrial' reasons. The cantles will have holes for lacing the bag onto it along the lower semi-circular edge.

From the first page:


They don't appear on the CAD drawing because they will not be cast in, but rather drilled. This will allow for me to vary the spacing/size of the holes for various materials.
