Hand made kit

I'm glad people like these - I do tend to be highly critical of my own work.

A few more pictures as things progress.
We required a few extra Ross sash pins, and they weren't in the budget so the logical conclusion was that I make some.

Since the last materials I have devised a repeatable molding technique that makes life alot quicker to make multiples.

Also developed some experimental polishing techniques that protect the delicate parts, which I'm going to call a trade sectret as I have sold a few items since starting this post.

anyway - on with the pictures.

A bit of appropriate shrubbery to go with the Ross clan theme

Some multiples that show the backing and the polish.

I like your work.
Just a small word of caution, I read that this design is protected (http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...st-ring-78236/).

Anyway they look great.

I'm aware of the protection on this particular design - and for the record these are not the items I have sold.
there were some alterations to the design, although minute, still put it outside the legal 20% to render it outside copyright law - at least in this country.

I have sold several Sgian Dubh's that are entirely my own design.
clan pins that I plan to sell will be entirely of my own design.

I'm even more impressed.

So, the wedding is a couple of weeks away and our celebrant, being the theatrical sort he is, requested a couple of lecturns.

"Good excuse to play with autocad" I said, "and get some more run time on the local CNC router at the cabinet maker's."

The results follow:

also some initial pictures of me in a kilt for the first time HERE

Oh and FYI - if any X-markers would like plans or graphics from my work - I'm happy to share back to this generous community.

These Lecturns will disassemble back to their flat-pack state for easy storage.

And I can supply the triskelle designs separately in various cad and vector formats.

Only just stumbled on this thread and have to say - Damn impressive stuff!
I'm sure your good lady will realise all the hard work and effort you're putting in to it and it'll only make the bond between you even stronger.

**Dranoweb** · 15th November 13, 05:57 AM

Thanks for the compliment. My lovely lady has taken a taste in the casting and begun to cast some of her own projects, it has indeed brought us closer.
