A cracking little box for bits... a rig winder fits in perfectly... many thanks to the lass, she's a diamond

Nicely repurposed Mrs Aitch :Sun: Out of interest what are the dimensions of that box? I assume it came with a selection of their fine marmalades?

Very nice Aitch! But did you check to see that your good lady didn't take the baize off of your pool table? :Hahaha:

Pool table??? Snooker table surely?
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Well... I gave the box a couple of coats of varnish and it darkened up a little and hopefully is a bit more waterproof than before... I put together a few bits and its now my Dedicated Wally Box... All the rigs are set up on short lengths for tying onto the reel line for trotting on the Wallington for those Monster Gonks. The floats are for a bit of light lake fishing... shot, hooks, disgorger.... don't need much more... half a pint of maggots, and I'm ready to rock.
