How many kilts can a kiltmaker make in a year?

[ChattanCat]

I average about one a month. It is not my day job so I am a part time kilt maker. How much time I spend on a kilt? I don't track my time. It is usually a few hours here and there. I do it because I like to make kilts and time is not a concern. I am more interested in doing the best job I can instead of making money. Kind of like an artist that does it for the love of it and a little monetary enticement helps motivate me to continue. Don't get me wrong, without the money I wouldn't do it nearly as often for such a mix of customers. Probably stick to making them for only me... come to think of it, it has been a while since I had a new kilt...

And it takes Robert about that time (20 hours) to machine sew a leather RKilt. If only he'd accepted my suggesting to use a pnuematic stapler he could get that down to two hours per kilt.

In addition to being quicker, that'd make a great fashion statement It'd probably be pretty popular in certain niches.
