Re: Float tubes from scrap.
Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen
I must admit that sometimes I get a bit carried away , and where I make one item , suddely I realise that there are actually more than one, perhaps a halfdozen or sometimes many more.
They are just giant shot tubes really I suppose .
If every time we went a fishin’ we were to take all the bits and bobs we collect as items of tackle, we would spend all day tripping up, carrying , lugging “stuff” and spend precious little time actually doing what we set out to do.
Guilty as charged Mi Lud !

Re: Float tubes from scrap.
Thanks for the nice words chaps.
Since making the above, I managed to rescue a third bit of bamboo tube, it was not in as good a condition as the other two but after a fair bit of messing around I came up with this.
I should add it has already been claimed by a forum member who clapped eyes on it earlier and made me an offer I could not refuse

You've done a great job of those. Well done!
