thats a beautiful set!!

I sure hope the sgain I am making right now comes out that nice!

curious on the pin, what kind of backing does it have, I never saw it (in all 3 or your posts diplaying it) hehe. I like it and I think I might cast my own but I don't know how to affix it safely to me.

I used 2 - 1/4" rare earth magnets epoxied into drilled recesses. Used a 3/8" magnet behind the apron to hold in place.

Any problems seperating the magnets? Any crushing of the fabricusing all those magnets?

Yeah the magnets are real strong and not easy to separate but don't appear to crush the fabric. Personally, I think this is better than using a pin pushed thought the fabric. If the kilt pin gets caught, it is more likely to just slide on the material and the magnets stay attached.

Iwas thinking that the backing magnet could be sewn inyo a little pouch with a pull tab on it for added leaverage. Although to be honest I was going to use one magnet and a steel disc, never thought about a second magnet, but was concerned with possible rust stains. BEEDEE you are a genious AND a first rate craftsman.
