A good use of lockdown time.

Post by Wallys-Cast »

Sadly I no longer have some of the photos from my previous posts but I am pleased to have kept most of them and in time I will replace all the ones lost thanks to photobuckets greedy ransom demands.

A time consuming exercise but worth it as many of the older posts just don't make much sense without the pictures so why not use the lockdown time to try to undo the damage created by photobucket and tinypic

Thanks Neil, some of the best posts are hard to grasp with out the pictures.

Happily I noticed a lot of Leszeks posts now have the photos back. It would have been a real shame if his step by step reel making was lost.

Luckily, I have not lost any photo's but I am passing the time teaching Diane how to paint, walls not pictures! She is showing promise so I am going get her some brushes of her own! :Hahaha:

Reel Pouches
Made from old NHS foam slings that we were told to throw way.Only needed to stitch one seam with nylon lacing thread.The Velcro straps came off the shoulders straps.Provide really good protection for your cherished centre pins.

Wal, for sometime I have felt disappointed in the fact that delving into the archives is lacking without the pictures. Sometimes we need to find inspiration from those who have created masterpieces in cane and metal. I thank you and wish you well in your endeavours Sir.

Thanks Mick, if you come across one of my posts with missing photos, please let me know and I'll do my best to reinstate them.
I am sure others would do the same if asked.

What an excellent idea Wal. A picture says a thousand words!
