In all honesty, Guinness tastes a bit weak and watery in comparison.

Is the skull cut out of brass? If so, I have something similar in mind, but a different design.
Brass or not, I love the design, and the movie :-)

Ahh yes, that is me with my brother-in-law Ewerton (he's 17 now, and just bought a "Flying V" during his visit here a few weeks back) in Rio de Janeiro after the Iron Maiden show....That had to be...

Ah....Here goes.
I know I have posted these pics in the past, but that was a while ago and these are among my favorite kilted pics.

I would have to say Rio de Janeiro.

My wife is a Carioca born and raised, and having been there 4 times, (once actually staying for 3 months) NEVER have I experienced such awe and enthusiasm for a...

Another less smelly option is to use heat.
Use a heat gun, or even a hot burner plate to soften the horn.
It takes a while, but the horn tends to keep it's shape a lot better.
If the smell...

I think were seeing a trend here

This thread is interesting because My Father's name was John, my name is Iain and my baby boy is named Sean.......I guess we like this name and variants in our family :-)

Hey all

Just a public service announcement for those in the Portland area who might be interested in attending a formal Highland Fencing class.

I dont have much to add to the current discussion, other than to mention the fact that I once smuggled a heavy, stoutly built folding german military shovel into a primitive rendezvous, using the...

While not being specifically Scottish, I see this pouch being made very appropriate with a small amount of modification....

I'm not terribly sad to say that I won't make it there this year because I will be in Rio De Janeiro.

I do however wish that the timing of my trip didn't interfere with the goings on this summer....

Hmm I thought I already posted this, but here goes.

I wasn't able to find any comparable material amongst my supplies, so I went to Joann's fabric and got a few yards of this stuff for around 80...

Ahhh....thanks for the pic, and the description. I will look for anything like this among my supplies.
Is the tape similar in weight and feel to standard denim perhaps?
Even with thicker weight...

Err, yeah I know....
I am reluctant because my proper 18th century weskit and muslin shirts are with my aunt being combined with other fabric and re-purposed into much improved Highland attire.

Hi all

I'm excited for my new score, and thought I would share the excitement with the rest of you.

Seriously...who else would even come close to understanding the excitement generated by...

I really feel as though I should thank you for your research and hard work in putting all this information together.
For the longest time I had been wanting to know about the BP drawstring, and how...

I've made about 15-20 powder horns, and am quite familiar with the smell :-)
For flat powder horns I've had better luck dunking the horn in hot veg. oil for a few seconds and then pressing between 2...

*Gasp!* What's the fun in that!?!?!?! :-)

I have also wanted to do this as well, but didn't have enough examples to go off of to see exactly how it was done.

I will be watching this topic with interest.

I have enough irritations and negativity in my every day life. Why let that get carried over to a forum where I go to read and write about stuff that I *enjoy* with like-minded people? ?

It became...

And it's a lovely tartan indeed.....I might poke around to find some of this fabric.

Thanks!

Well....my first thought is an Emerald green background with gold and blue stripes...just like the colors of the Brasil Flag.
I'm picturing something that looks quite similar to the Irish National...

Hey all....I have been able to get some photos uploaded for those who are interested in seeing them :-)
