    New Sporran Maker...........

    ..........is about to hit the web.
    Since I am disabled, and unable to work as most others can, and since my SSI has been dropped, and thus no income coming in, I decided to try my hand at making sporrans. At the moment, I can't afford real genuine leather, so, I have been using marine grade vinyl with a leather feel and look to it. I have already make about 14 of them, and getting more creative with each one. I didn't buy a pattern, but just keep making up my own.
    My company will be called Stelly Sporrans, name after my son Stelly. A website is in the making, but has not yet hit the net. I will let you all know when it does, and I hope you all will do buisiness with me. I've made some photos and will post them soon.

    To bad about the SSI being cut Max. Hope this new endeavourer works well in your favor. Looking forward to seeing your sporrans.

    Be sure to make some in larger sizes for us "gentlemen of substance" so it doesn't look like we borrowed our sons' sporran!

    I haven't made any YET, with the Rob Roy Style, but will. I know what you mean by size, the very first one I ever bought, I thought was a child's size....in reality it wasn't but it sure appeared to be. Mine, so far, are more roomier inside, and are somewhat larger, but, I will also make some even larger. Please keep in mind that I am in the beginning stages and will need your input about size, design and the overall appearance. So, please keep your comments coming in.....they are welcomed.
    I will get some photos posted later today.

    There are and I am going to say a BAD word here"Lawyers" that do nothing but SSI cases. Have you check out one of them to handle your SSI claim?

    I downloaded a few photos. I had some problems with getting some of them to download, but maybe the ones I did get posted will give you an idea.

    Being in the middle of the Social Security Disability Income fight myself, all I can say is keep appealing until approval. My wife and I are on our third appeal, headed to a pre-trial conference in a few weeks!
