Thank you so much. I admit that I love little more than sitting down at the drafting table and drawing up a new (for me anyway, since most of the designs are based on 'classic' pieces) set of plans.
I hope to keep pushing and expanding my skill-set as well.

Indeed I do. The metal cantles are signed numbered and dated- One of my favorite things about restoring old pieces is seeing what might be recorded on the inside of them.
I've seen what appear to be part numbers, instructions for body shape and number of tassels, a few names... It's always fascinating.
My hope is that future sporran makers will get the same charge from the little notes I leave in mine.
