What do you mean, sweep the floor? It has taken me 25 years to get it to that state.. . The wooden press is for gluing up laminate. Actually there is not much tackle left at all now. There is an angry boat captain that raids the place when I am not looking. Went looking for my fly rod, the one I can't use, and it seems to be missing to. And it was custom made by Bill Fitch, another tackle building legend.
That same bloke was poking around in my turning shed and uncovered another box of about 30 minnow blanks. Carl took one for a "collaborative" effort. Be interesting to see what comes of it. Be even more interesting to see if it turns up in Cairns, in that captains collection. Jim |
