    Couldn't agree more, hylander. Making your own is not about cash value, but it is about intrinsic value. I made my first sporran without even the correct tools. I took my time and it turned out rather well (well enough that a friend wanted it as her clutch purse). A very strong second on Tandy or similar reputable shop. The staff are almost always leather workers themselves (met a sporran maker, even) and can provide excellent advice to aid in value purchases. Leather sources can vary. I had some very odd looks from my spouse arriving home with used purses. But now I'm happy to have my very own "Fossil" lining sporran. I've added tools incrementally as I move on to other wants in the final product. And third, yes it is true; you can't just make one or two. There is always some little thing you want to do better next time or some design just waiting to become real.
