ocupational kilt pin

**Blacksmith** · 5th November 06, 07:05 PM

Just made myself a new kilt pin for wearing while doing my kilted blacksmithing demos, its made from 1/8" brass with two pin backs brazed on the back, and is presently pined to my denim union kilt.

just wondering ifthere are other ocupational kilt pins out there?

What a great pin.

I wonder what I could use for mine ...... a textbook?

Mine could be a flask. No gents, not the type you hold your favorite single malt in. But an "erlenmeyer flask," like this:

This gives me an idea.

For my primary job mine would be a key. I think I'll go out to the stock room and pick out one of those old-fashioned bit keys. Some folks that don’t know any better call them skeleton keys. :rolleyes:
