Re: My New Tackle Box
Thanks ExeAngler. The box is a one off!! Now I can work the laser cutter I have to tackle the intricacies of a 3D printer, which is easy to use but very hard to use the design software. I've also made a float making drill jig device that doesn't require a drill, and I must post a photo when I can.

Re: My New Tackle Box
I can see 3D printers becoming a real boon for fishing tackle restoration now that they have dramatically come down in price.(I saw one advertised for less than £300) It should be possible to make all sorts of replacement parts particularly things like reel handles and small gears.Barbulus wrote:Very nice Trevor; I wonder if the inventor of Lazer & 3D Printing ever thought that it would feature in a Traditional Fishing Forum thread......just right too.

Re: My New Tackle Box
Yes, I agree. If I was retired and wanted a hobby that earned money I would invest in a laser cutter and make and sell all sorts of bespoke boxes and other bits suitable for fishing.

Good stuff Trevor

Re: My New Tackle Box
love the box ,its reminiscent of my first tackle box ,one day i'll get around to refurbishing it as I've had it kicking around for 30 odd years I think it might be time well soon as I've done my latest projects ..& I now know who too see about replacement deviders .and I love the lid .
I try to be funny... but sometimes I merely look it! Steve

Re: My New Tackle Box
Thanks Chavender. I've just designed a float winder and will be cutting it out this week!
