    I guess it is all relative - one company's remnant is another man's abundance. Show us the kilt when it is done, ok?

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    T-rabbit,

    I recently made a purchase from F&K for only a portion of the remaining 12metres of a remnant. So for their posted price, they are trimming 4metres off of the 12metre remnant. From advice I have gathered, this is the first and best way to produce a DIY tank.

    Stay warm!

    Kevin

    It will be easiest if you can get a piece of wool, whatever kind you can find, tartan or not. Cotton, canvas, and such don't shape very well and are harder for a beginner to use when following the instructions in the book.
