Jack, it's lovely! Will you make me one now? ;)
Fantastic job, jack! Isn't it the most gratifying thing to actually construct something and be able to wear it with pride? And even more so, making the fabric for the item. Congratulations. Emily
To borrow a term from the younger generation...Awesome!

Dear Jack,
Your coat turned out great. I wandered around on your website last night for over an hour. You and your wife have made a wonderful life for yourselves, and your interests are varied and terrific. I can't wait to see where you go next.

First of all thanks all for the kind words. Too many to answer all but I couldn't resist this.
If you take a look at the photo for other things I made:
I caught the fish. I made the walking stick from the same white ash as the buttons, The ring on my finger, I hand forged from silver and cut the stone from a rough emerald. The mantlepiece and sides of the fire place I made from oak. The candle holders I made from cherry. The candles from recycled wax. The candle followers from brass.
Guess that about does it.
The army blanket does not itch because it is an interlining, i.e. it is between the flannel lining and outer fabric.
Thanks again one and all,

Wow!!! Just....wow!
Guess that is plenty! Congratulations.
Indeed! I rarely get organized enough to make my bed. That's just cool.
AJack,
The coat looks wonderful. Ok. The first thing that impressed me was that you wove your fabric for the coat, it looks gorgeous and sumptuous. I was then impressed when I saw the hand worked buttonholes. Not an easy feat, and you did very well. Then I almost fell out of my chair when I read, further down, that you made your buttons.
So then I read your follow up post. Well....I can't post here the word that came out of my mouth, but let me assure you it was an exclamation of true amazement and awe stretched into about 4 syllables (instead of the normal one syllable alloted to that word.) ;)
Truly amazed. Wonderful work all the way around. You should be very proud of your work.

You were born in the wrong century!
