A few bits and pieces from the workshop

[Jeremy Croxall]

Thank you for looking and for the kind words gents.

I forgot to add these two tubes to the earlier pictures, these are for the twitchers amongst us …



Hi Jeremy, not this year , however I will be at Rotherham Northern Tackle Fair next year, and will also hopefully be at Redditch as well whenever it is ( Holidays allowing ) I am slowly getting a few odds and ends together for them.

BTW, I still have your net pole stood waiting patiently in the corner

No problem David, one day our paths will cross

Hi , they are bamboo float tubes, to store your floats in , the smaller brass bound tubes are split shot tubes, to store split shot or indeed any small bits of end tackles in .

I suppose you can actually store anything in them really,
A friend uses a large one as a pencil case .

Ah thanks. I thought of float cases but wasn't sure of the size. Too good to bang around in the tackle box!

[Wallys-Cast]

Lovely looking items as always David. Well done indeed.

Those are all rather smart. Well done!
I like the metal collars on the float tubes. Not something you see very often.

Thank you CM. Actually, the collars are on the shot tubes. I am working on brass banding for some project Float tubes, but need to get it right, which is taking me some time

I think those would be displayed on the mantlepiece, not pushed into a tackle box stored at the back of the garage.
