Float tubes from scrap.

Post by Old Man River »

Hi, I recently visited the bamboo suppliers, and noticed that there was a pile of “ scrap” ends that would probably eventually end up in the skip, as the place was in a bit of turmoil and I was in a hurry, I asked if I could grab a couple of the scrap lengths as I left which Nathan the owner agreed to me doing .

He knows I am always up for anything which is cheap as chips or even cheaper . :Chuckle: :Chuckle:

Anyway, after a bit of bodging and messing around I finally came up with these.

In the coming months I shall hopefully be putting a couple more together after I pay a return visit to the Bamboo suppliers .

Thanks for looking.
