Okay Jamie, I'd like to know more about the walking stick your holding?

[thomsec]

Wow Jamie (and Richard), simply smashing! Amazing! Astounding!
And your hose are the proper length!

Hello all,

I'm proud to see that W2F has done such an excellent job. I'm also eager to see how his next project goes. We're updating our cape patterns right now.

Before sending off the next round, I must touch on a more serious topic...I offer our patterns to the home sewer as a courtesy and a service on our part to help folks advance their skills. The charge we levy is simply to cover the time it takes to trace the patterns, the paper consumed, the basic directions, and shipping. It's all done by hand, just like the remainder of what happens in this shop, and the other craftsmen you see on this site. Larger companies like Vogue, McCalls, and Butterick print their patterns by the thousands, and profit from your shopping with little real concern for what happens once you open their envelope.

We make our money by selling outerwear. To that end, I ask that those who receive our patterns, consider them ECW intellectual-ish property. Use them freely to outfit yourself, your family, and your friends. But please think twice before cranking out capes by the dozen for sale. We've seen our other products copied by local businesses http://www.duluthpack.com/products.a...7&CategoryID=w, including former customers of ours who kept the text from our labels. It's a fact of life in my industry. We do our best to stay ahead when it comes to making outdoor clothing, but all things will become community property in some form or another.

Please use discretion.....your next parcel might be full of cream colored, electro-staticly charged cat fur. No lint roller in the world will keep your fine woolens safe.

Cheers,

Kevin.

Back off the Jolt, dude.

Jolt? Puh-leeze. Do I look like a n00b?

Actually, I use this when I need an energy boost really quick:



The caffeine is absorbed by the buccal membrane as you chew, the practical upshot of which is that it gets to the brain 3 times faster than energy drinks!

I have, however, been looking into this to help me with my calculus tests:



160 mg of caffeine per 1.35 oz bottle of Mana. That's roughly equivalent to 2 Red Bulls or 4 cups of crappy office coffee.

Wow, I am in total lust (with the cape have you) ever since I saw the lovely cape at the last Kilt Night!

I fear that this is a bit beyond my sewing skills, (I assume it would help to know what to do with a sewing machine for example).

Hmmm, this is not beyond my wife's skills.
How am I going to work this one out?

[BluesDoxieGa]

I have ordered the pattern from Kevin and now I really can't wait to get started making my own!

I would like to know where to get the material that W2F used and is it waterproof?


How on earth can you make a perfectly shaped leather coin purse without seams? - Not sure you want to know what part of the cow that comes from

Okay Jamie, I'd like to know more about the walking stick your holding?

I picked up two brass inlaid hardwood walking sticks made in India at TJ Maxx for $20 a couple of years ago. One lacked a handle and the other was adorned with a brass jockey's head. I took them home (discarding the ugly brass top of the second cane) and drilled a hole into the shaft. I then cleaned, sanded, and polished two deer antler coronas. After a little shaping to get them to sit nicely inside the brass fitting I drilled a hole in the antler pieces. Using two part epoxy I attached the pieces together with a stong bolt for strength.

When the epoxy cured I had one nice stick for a kilted gentleman and a swell Christmas present for his Dad.

Far more interesing was the walking stick I made for my wife's step-mother out of a twisted ficus house plant...

Cheers

Wait! I'm confused
Who has the pattern of this for sale?

I have both a sister & an aunt who could make me one

[BoldHighlander]

Very cool. Thanks!

Any pictures of the 'twisted ficus'?
(I think I just said something naughty!?! )
