Amen to that, Jamie!

Is the Blademaking book going to be about forging blades or about handle carving and putting the handle and blade together or both? I would be interested in that one. Who is making the sporran book?

And, Dreadbelly, we'll do our UTMOST to remember that the tam title is The Art of Tam Crocheting.

w2f

I realized that AFTER posting (but thought it to minor to worry about).

Sorry, I forgot about Rab Gordon's wonderful work.
And Dread's pet peave

I thought that the Sporan making would be an important part of the Kilt Accessories book.
Maybe, these could be the next publications of Celtic Dragon Press.

I would buy ALL of these books in a heartbeat (would pay for themselves quickly and, ironically, show what makes a good product and what goes into it-> thus actually increasing the business to those how have excellent products, by making a "coniseaur" (sp?).

This was supposed to be a thread about a new kilt accessory, that I am very happy with, if you all want to talk about existing or future books you might want to take that somewhere else.

Thanks

Sorry, threads can have a habit of doing that.
Yes, Dread's hats are very nice. I have one and REALLY like it.

He does a good job at CROCHET (at least I didn't say knit

).

I love Brother Dread's tams and agree that each one is a work of art. I, however, very seldom, if ever, wear a hat - and then it's usually a collegiate baseball type cap (and that's usually just to get pour1malt to use the word "numpty" in a sentence). I would love to own one, but it would be wasted on me. They are certainly beautiful, though. I may have to get a couple for gifts, though. Hmmmmmm.......
