    Excellent work thus far, I can't wait to see the finished sporran, how were the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards? Inquiring minds want to know.

    It really looks good so far
    I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product

    Its great to see so many people making their own kit

    Great show! The pipe band was a bit smaller than I expected (10 pipers), but they were very good. The Band of the Coldstream Guards were great. They even broke out with a string quintet, a vocalist, and an 18th century reenactment military band with period instruments. Very interesting...not your typical show at all.

    James, the workbench is one of my prized possessions. My late father was a civil engineer and a do-it-yourselfer of the first order, and he made that bench. He always wanted to learn how to do leatherwork but never got around to it, so when I do leather projects on that bench it's a bit more special.

    I just finished the sporran. I'll give the leather a good buffing in the morning and try to get some photos.
