First a comment, that is one fantastic looking Kilt! I am very impressed with your handiwork.
Secondly, do you play the banjo?
I had to go back to the pictures to figure this one out. The banjo is mostly ornamental, It's playable although very old. I've played the trumpet and violin and attempted many others. I like to dabble in various instruments and have a music room and collection that allows me to do that. The saying "let's make some noise" applies to me. O'Neille
Well at least I got more comments about the kilt than the furniture and decor. I can take responsibility for the furniture, the girlfriend calls it the "moose". I'm off to find some canvas to make something. We'll see what turns out. Actually, I'm just procrastinating on homework (last assignment of my life). O'Neille
Looks great. And only 4 hours?? Was that at one shot or over a few days?
The four hours was the other night and I put the yardage in the washer and sat down to find some instructions. When It was dry I layed it out on my penninsula counter and started cutting and marking. About 4 hours later the beast was done except the buckles. Those took another half hour for layout and sewing. Here's some pics.

Thanks for the comments. O'Neille
