Well, you have a good story to go with it. It has been said before you don't have to have Scottish blood in your veins as long as you have a drop of Scottish in your heart. Thank you for choosing...

I have three pics of my workbench to put up.

First is taken with the flash and the white balance set to flash. Nikon D-40, ASA200, Aperture priority, f/8 I think, thus "flashflash dot jpg:...

Wow. Nice job, again.

Thanks folks. i went to Lowes-Depot today and picked up some standard US based LED bulbs, they ought to fit into regular sockets I already own.

I noticed the reveal series that Artificer and I...

Steve, I am happy to look into LED technology. What can you tells us about brand names or color temperatures to look for that are working well for you?

I don't deal with tartan cloth on my...

Another bulb you might watch for on the shelf is the "Reveal" series by GE. I run two 100 watt bulbs of those on my bench, one each right and left, with a center bright flourescent for fill.

Late to the party, I hit the "aye" button a few times coming through.

I only have one thing to add. I am not the only person here who experienced being a "have not" while working my way up to...

Well deserved indeed. Congratulations Derek.

Point duly noted and well taken.

I concur. Good eye sir, I appreciate the kind and gentle criticism. I do love that tie though...

Kyle, I know you have had and continue to have a lot more opportunity to study this both in Scotland and online than I am likely to ever have. Thanks for being so willing to share your knowledge.

Not exactly. If you google "monochrome sett" with two tees in the word sett, your first hit will be a thread here dealing with monochrome tartans, IIRC seven clans have them. Anyway, those two...

I am guessing this one isn't actually tattersall either, but a recent thread got me to the local second hand store where I came up with these two shirts.

If someone can wear an off the rack size...

One other solid color shirt that I find very versatile is known to me as French Blue, no idea what other names this shade may have...

I think its bad photography. In person, it's white stripes on a blue field.

Appreciate the input otherwise. I am seriously down about 16 pounds bringing in firewood, nothing I own fits right...

Hmm, the editor at photobucket is new. If I figured it out, one image, one "risky" to me shirt, one outfit.

I think since the stripes are all one color this technically isn't a tattersall shirt. ...

I kinda feel like I got solids under control, but bring those too. I am trying to get a handle on patterned shirts with a tie and a kilt, but who knows who will learn what.

As soon as I get my...

I suppose Duke Richard might be looking for a new project now that Abbotsford is winding down.

Ok, read the whole thread after I've been mulling on it since day one.

1. There are certain times a young man should turn his cell phone OFF so that he can interact as a human with the person or...

Now that I am married I open every door for my wife every time. I have instructed her to wait for me to do so, which she does. Setting a good example for both the sons and the daughters. find a...

Still thinking on this, two weeks and going strong.

My younger stepson just in the last week went to a going away party in a pub, realized his designated driver was intoxicated, took car keys from...

I processed some acorns into a batch of mush once upon a time. It was a lot of trouble, but very filling, I was able to go quite a long time before I was hungry again, I remember feeling really fed....

I'll raise a glass in absentia myself Saturday night. Airfare to Vancouver is about the same as airfare to Rio for me...

Depends on the weather. In the heat of summer I like light malt bills and plenty of hops, Sierra Nevada Pale made a recent appearance here, though I tend to avoid the lip peeling IPAs unless I am...

The stingray came out especially well I think. Nice work.
