Kilt Pin Idea (Would Appreciate Input)

[ArmyPiper]

I will offer my two cents...Be that what they may...Not only am I Scottish Proud, but also a Veteran and a Mason, I don't understand the Masonic Coin idea for a kilt pin? Are you trying to affix a coin to your kilt in place of a Kilt pin? Why not just order the Masonic Kilt Pin and wear, or you can customize a smaller version by possibly affixing it to a small sword with some JB Weld I know my Kilt Pin I wear is a Bronze Star Medal in Miniature that is glued to a Silver Sword. I did however purchase a Past Masters Kilt Pin, it looks like the silver sword with the Masonic Past Masters Emblem on it. Just a thought. But if you use the epoxy JB Weld, use the two type mix and apply...it does work

Yes, it is a "stand alone" kilt pin, as opposed to be attached to an existing kilt pin.

I have a Masonic (sword) kilt pin. I was interested in doing something "custom" and "out of the ordinary", but that is also Masonically related. Unfortunately, there is no miniature of this coin, which is why I was going for a "replacement" as opposed to an "add on".

Kalok Sundancer, I think it is a wonderful idea to construct that type of individual kilt pin. If you do a quick search under "show us your kilt pins" you will find a plethora of homemade pins that have meaning to the individuals concerned. I have made several using two part expoxy to stick on whatever securing device I was using. I say go for it.

As I am also a Mason, I'd like to weigh in on this as well. I find the "standard" sword kilt pins to be rather boring. The coin is amazing (I'd love to know where it was obtained!) and using it as a kilt pin is a fine idea.

Three pins in a triangle shape, 2 on top, 1 on the bottom, should be perfect. How heavy is the kilt?

I got it from here Freemasonstore.com (http://www.freemasonstore.com/Masoni...n&inc_subcat=1)

I don't know about the weight of the kilt. I have yet to order it. That will come after the first of the year.
