    Keep Your Fingers Crossed!

    Well, I'm trying to fund my first hand-sewn, wool kilt. It won't be 8 yards or 16 oz wool... I'm thinking one of Newsome's 4-yard box or 5-yard knife pleated kilts in a particular 13oz fabric. To do so I'm gonna sell off one of the only pieces of video gear I actually own... and have only used twice. My steadicam clone...

    Glidecam 4000 Pro

    It already has some bids, so I know it'll sell. Let's just all pray to the gods and/or goddesses of kiltdom that it'll sell for enough!

    No point hanging onto stuff you don't use any more. Just think how much happier you'll be when you get that new kilt.

    A man in a kilt is a man and a half. A man without his steadicam is a man with funds for a kilt. Wise move I say. Good luck with your project!

    Just proof, ....you can't have your kilt and film it too.

    Oh, I still have access to the cameras, I've never owned those... too dang expensive!

    I started thinking about how often I used the thing and how often I wanted to wear a wool kilt... decision was easy at that point!
