    Do remember though that Ed Simon, a valuable resource I admit is recalling the good old days. I don't think you will find any maker out there doing things this way today simply because the materials are not available. Tubular "hose" woven cloth, linen belting, horsehide, etc...... When the large market nearly vanished those items stopped being needed or made. It is increasingly hard to source many of the fine components any more.

    Tony,

    I just came across this as a potential source for linen: http://www.redtrader99.com/hones.html. Thought you might be interested.

    Kees,
    Tilly and I go way back! I bought many a yard of linen form her my first year in business. Nice material and an ever nicer lady to deal with. As you can see it is not exactly inexpensive stuff.

    Thanks,
