    My new sporran!

    I got to make something modern for myself! I found this nifty latch, and had to build a sporran around it!

    Very nice, Travis. Love the latch! Where did you find it? On a side note, do you know where I can find drop pin hardware? My son really wants a sporran with a drop pin and can't seem to find anything.

    I have no idea! I was thinking of making one for myself using antler for the pin.

    Cool. It's funny when that happens: find something like a part and it makes you build it a home.

    That's lovely! I won't even feign shock at your skill anymore; you do wonderful work.

    How does that latch work? Is it magnetized, or does it turn to lock into place?

    Travis, that's rather spectacular!
    Scotland is only 1/5 the size of Montana, but Scotland has over 3,000 castles and Montana has none.

    It turns. At our next gathering, I'll show it to you.
