This looks interesting......
It never ceases to amaze me how many talented people we have on this forum.
What do they know of fishing who know only one fish and one way to fish for him?

Hovis Sir - that is looking superb - hopefully more pictures to post as you continue the project.

If there's interest I'll post more pics as I progress. Unfortunately the back plates scrap, snapped an m2 tap in there and can't shift it. This is really just a test to see if all the tools I've made actually works as intended.
