    A Request for Hamish...

    Hamish - I have a request for you if its not too much trouble. Could you possibly make a short video showing how you "sweep your pleats" when sitting in a kilt? I know I should be able to get the hang of it from experience and the few written descriptions I've seen, but for me its still kind of hit or miss. What can I say? I'm a very visual guy. :rolleyes:

    Phil, I am sorry it has taken me so long to get down to this (too many other priorities in a busy life, I'm afraid!). Well, I set up and made the short video you requested, but I cannot get my Photobucket album to accept it and, without that facility, I've no idea how I can get it to play here!! Any thoughts?

    Many thanks, Robin. However, I have just tried sending you the file but it won't send!!! A message told me that I could send only files up to 16MB with an e-mail. My little video clip is about 200MB (3 minutes running time).

    There's nothing for it - I'll have to reshoot it, cutting out all the chat!!! Give me a day or two and I'll try again.

    Would it be possible for you to upload it to YouTube ( www.youtube.com ) ? I'd hate for you to have to redo all your work.

    Nicely done Ham. Just wish that I was in on it earlier, but as you know I was gone for awhile.

    Indeed you are a true gentleman.

    Thanks so much for making the video - I appreciate your help but unfortunately my pbase photo site doesn't host video or audio - only jpegs. It looks like Robin may be able to help us all see the famous "Hamish Sweep." I hope we can collectively work this out!

    Thank You Again!
