Hot off the workbench

[David Thorpe]

I am very impressed. Most hunter style sporrans look like some sort of case-hardened gonad shield. But this looks soft and tactile. I've got to say that I have never wanted a hunter style before, but I want one like that.

Thanks for the knee-slapper!

Yes, the deer hide is very soft. I had to add stiffeners along the front edges and the front is layered in several places. The top of the back has a stiffener down to just below the strap attachment D-rings and the entire interior is lined with another layer of deer hide. Even with all of that, it is still lighter than my pin-latch standard leather day sporran.

That is the most amazing second-attempt-at-a-first-effort I have ever seen. I may have to start venturing a little north to see if some of your mojo wears off on me. Very well done!

Thanks, Kenneth. I'm always up for an eyeball and a handshake. Maybe some of your drumming mojo will rub off on me.

Carbon paper and a tracing wheel--brilliant. Sure beats cutting out templates for a one-off creation. Beautiful work. Wear it with pride.

David , I most certainly second SlackerDrummer comments , what a great sporran !

I missed your original posting and came across it while doing a site search on sporrans . Wow ! That is great , especially considering how you used a site picture and then enlarged it and then did your own free hand pattern and then came up with the final product ! Outstanding .

As a bit of a Stark Trek nerd , as Kirk said to Scotty , " quite a piece of engineerring Scotty " , okay , he may not have said those exact words , but those are my exact words , quite a piece of engineering !

Best , Mike
