    Poetic Justice

    I'm working on my first kilt and have gotten about halfway thru it.There are also plans for at three more to follow.Anyway,I'm a competent blacksmith,so I decided to make the buckles myself.It wasn't until I started the fourth one that I rememberd where the scrap metal I was using came from.Believe it or not,it came from a factory that once made Levis.The factory closed several years ago and I got the steel from a friend who was removing the old machinery so it could be scrapped.I guess there is justice in the world after all.

    That is...priceless. There's something so elementally right about that that it reaches a completely new level of existance. I humbly bow to you, and wish a thousand gentle blessings upon you and your house.

    Thumbs up Right direction

    Wonderful story. Beating steel from levis into buckles for kilts. Let's hope the direction continues.

    The sister of my wife made us a few shopping bags out of old jeans, so when I go shopping I wear kilt while at the same time carrying trousers!
