Page 27, right column, last sentence: "shaper"? Typo or undefined jargon?

Good eyes - should say "sharper" - that's one typo that I didn't catch. There aren't many, but it's impossible to catch them all!!

Thanks, Barb
I too have just ordered a copy of your book (from Matt). I'll need to add the extra pages later.
But when I see the quality of your work in these marvellous pictures, I do wonder if I am just being stupid to even think of making my own. Congratulations!

Whether you make one or not this book is still part of one's education and makes one appreciate the level of detail and craftsmanship that goes into a well-made, traditional kilt.

Funny thing - my Isle of Skye is also 16oz Strome from Lochcarron.
Light and electronics indeed Ron - go figure!

Thanks Phil,
I'm sold, told Kathy Lare to go ahead and order me up one in the Locharron 16 oz Strome.
Oughta make my ancestors happy and me proud. Skye has obviously been a big thing in my family over the generations. First settlement in Nova Scotia was Skye Glen near Skye Mountain. My father named his California ranchette Skye Ranch and one of his Great Danes was named Skye. Guess a kilt in the Skye tartan would be fitting for my generation.

Wow! Absolutely smashing. (Never thought I'd say that looking at a man's ***.) Superb work.
Thanks for posting the snaps.
