Kilt w/Frugal Corner material

[HeathBar]

Thanks for fixing that Wiz. Now if you'll point me in the right direction, I'll do a burn test with some scraps so we can determine the fibers used

HeathBar,
One source of information on burn testing to determine fabric content may be found here;

(please remember to drag real hard on your celery stalk when you smoke it to know what burning celery smells like. Cuban of course.)

Majdan,
I am an engineer by schooling and temperament. Specifically an MSc Naval Architect/Marine Engineer. I also was a Helicopter Test Pilot for the Military for about 20 years.

As a federal agriculture officer, I would just like to remind HeathBar that, based on the pest risk, he shouldn't even have Cuban celery. Now if he wants Canadian, American, or Mexican celery, that's okay with the USDA.

I'm looking forward to the results of the burn test. Frugal Corner stated in their 4th of July sale thread that their fabric is poly-acrylic (sorry, no link - working with dial-up at the moment). So when HeathBar lights it up, it should keep burning, right?

And thanks for the advice on the Hunting Stewart - I've been considering that for a future project. It's good to know I would have to order 8 yards instead of 4.

Steve, don't be so modest, you are both and more.

Seriously though, Steve Ashton is a modest man who has much to be modest for.
