Alder rod rest - tripod

Post by Pallenpool »

Simple as you like - stripped Alder - 3 pieces - opens and folds as quick as you like and fits in my creel or shoulder bag. 3 legs are held together by garden twine.

Sweet. Simple is good. I also like the idea of a forked stick too.

Rustic and natural. Perfect.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Simple and ingenious. From nature and looks good too.

Very clever, very simple, very TFF. I like that a lot, I may well try that myself! :Hat:
