2nd Aluminium Cantle sporran (horse hair)

[Thomas H]

I just wanted to show my 2nd Aluminium Cantle Sporran
But this time with Horse Hair
(sorry for the blured pictures )

Started out with cutting the Aluminium out




Then welded it up (same as before ) different design




Added the back hangers



Then put it all togeather



Now the bag was an old leather purse my wife was throwing out
So i up cycled it and the zipper seemed to fit (alittle )



Then I added the tail's





** It is not as long as I wanted but for a day wear deal , I am happy with it .
Thank you

Here is the two I have made -getting to know each other

[Tim Little]

Very nice!

[tulloch]

WOW. They are really nice. Congratulations on your production. Can't say enough how good I think they look.

[Bluescelt]

nice work! I like the brown on brown against the aluminum. Very good!!

[TheOfficialBren]

Wow! I am really impressed, mate!

Just to make sure that I'm following you, the cantle itself is or is not a functioning cantle? Is the zipper intended for a second (outer) compartment and the cantle for accessing the main (inner) compartment?

I've never owned a cantled sporran so I'm curious. Thanks for sharing this.

The Goat hair sporran is functioning see thread http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...sporran-75136/

But the Horse hair can be functionable ,and it started out that way but the hair was so thick that it took up
the whole opening on the cantle so I bolted it closed (was not happy about that ) but it was at the end of the project
and I was done working on it by then so , I lefted it at that .

These are sporrans I made with items I found in my garage , the only things I had to buy were the goat hide
and I traded the rest of the goat hide for the brown horse hair ,
So the goat hide sporran cost me about $30.00 to make and the horse hair sporran cost me about $40.00 to make
Not bad for a week end project and a small budget lol
Thank you all for the kind words
