    Interest in Horse Hair sporran book

    I've been watching the threads on making horsehair sporrans. I was fortunate enough to spend several days with a sporran maker last year who taught me how to make regimental and other style hair sporrans and was wondering if there'd be an interest in a DIY book in the same spirit at Prof Tewksbury's AOKM. I take a lot of pictures and get a lot of emails on "How do I do-so and so". Is this something that would be worth my while to try?

    I'd like to point out that making hair sporrans is EXTREMELY tedious, but its reward is REALLY fulfilling!
