I wasn't offended by the quote in question, but board members CAN be a bit tetchy about disrespecting the Royal Family.

I was simply pointing out that on the internet, and as an anonymous name, comments can be taken badly, and that without smileys or inflection, comments can generate some unneeded grief.

As to the balance of comments, Thank you all.

Irish in Tacoma- best of luck with your endeavor, post pix!

Let's get back onto the sporrans and away from the politics, people.

The OP liked a particular personage's style. Not much more than that is pertinent.

My partner is German and my son has a German passport so I've certainly no problem with that! I'm just quite pleased that I inhabit a different world to the English aristocracy and their peculiarly narrow definition of "Scottishness"

Nice work, BTW, if I forgot to mention it before... ;c)

Well, I guess we'll just have to wait another day, won't we?

The photos and narration is sublime. I would have written more often, but I've about said all there is to say. It's fantastic.

Beautiful final product! This is my favorite DIY thread of all time. Thanks for sharing, and can't wait to see what's next.

Congratulations Artificer, you are a master, and thankyou for all your hard work to bring us this thread.

Beautiful work, and inspirational. For the last week you've had me sketching out patterns and working out dimensions. I recently discovered hunting sporrans and like the style. For the last two days I've been in the workshop, cutting and sewing. Thanks for the detailed directions and helpful hints.

As the kids would say now-a-days: "That's off the [sporran]CHAIN!!!"

Seriously man, that thing is an outstanding piece of craftsmanship. Outstanding.

...there's no telling what people would be willing to pay for a piece like that, but rest assured, it would be a tidy sum.

Bravo!!!
