link to film for making a sporran our of leather

[budd4766]

But it *is* easy...

All you need is:

• A bunch of tools, some I've never seen before.
• A rock-steady hand
• A good supply of leather
• A life-time of experience

Jeremy looks over that list, trying to see if he has any of those...

Really, all you need is a trip to your local Tandy Leather Factory store. All those tools are there, though some have been replaced with different ways of doing the work, and some you really don't HAVE to have to make this sporran. Most Tandy stores also offer classes if you ask nicely and are really helpful..

Wow! I am thrilled to learn that it only takes a little over 15 minutes to make a sporran! The next time I have a half-hour with nothing pressing to do I'll whip one up. (if only!!)

That said, it looks like something to try, but I'll give myself a little more time. And, as it turns out, we have a Tandy in town!

The tools he uses I found most difficult to come by are the pinking punches he uses on the tassels.

They are still available, but tend to run in the hundreds of dollars per-tool.

Ah, I thought you meant "difficult to find" rather than "difficult to afford" (a feeling I share with you on this).
