Setting up false expectations

[tyger]

Heck, most of the cost of the kilt is the material, think about what the kiltmaker contributes in relationship to what they get for what they do!

Amen.


And some days, when my fingers are sore, and the sweat is dripping off my nose onto the piece of metal that I have burned myself on twice, I can stop, and wonder. But, when you see that picture: it looks good, really makes one feel good, and you know it is one-of-a-kind, and it is the kind of thing that will last and last......and somebody will be wearing it long after I have stopped posting on this forum.

In some cases, I am exchanging my metalwork for other peoples needlework. That exchange and barter system is as old as the hills, and in that way I will obtain my first hand-stitched kilt.
