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

You have been busy, very nice indeed

Beautifully made, but excuse my ignorance - what are they? I recognised floats in the first picture, but...

Re: A few bits and pieces from the workshop
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 .

Re: A few bits and pieces from the workshop
Ah thanks. I thought of float cases but wasn't sure of the size. Too good to bang around in the tackle box!

Re: A few bits and pieces from the workshop
Those are all rather smart. Well done!
I like the metal collars on the float tubes. Not something you see very often.

Re: A few bits and pieces from the workshop
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 timeCoral Maestro wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 5:57 pm Those are all rather smart. Well done!

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