First float tubes....

Post by BoltonBullfinch »

I finally got round to finishing the first three float tubes, it's been a while but I'm quite happy with them. I wanted them to look a bit aged rather than pristine and new.
From left to right they will carry floats of 7.5 inch, 9.5 inch and 12.5 inch.

Very nice! I love the idea of chaining the lids to the body.

If anyone is desperate enough to want the largest tube of these three then you can have it. I will pay the postage as long as you make a donation to the running of this wonderful website.
I will be making half a dozen more over time so there will be a few more available if anyone would like one, same thing applies, I pay the postage, you send donation to Mark.

Thanks
