Maverick Martin Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Does a full rack come with BBQ sauce? sorry dreaming of summer again I think you will never fish more that 2 peeps on Tidles so why so many tubes imo looks to large for the boat but then as er indoors says I'm usually wrong Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks for the humour and help lads. 2 blokes x 3 rods = 6 tubes 1 black ball 1 Landing net ( yes I hope I'll need one ) 1 freshly filled chicken baguette each - - - - - - - Seriously though, I need at least 6 to 8. It doesn't look right with the 9 though. I'll try re-spacing them with 8 or 7 or 6 and see how they look. I want to get it right before placing the order for manufacture.

great white Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Looks a bit top heavy Jim and a bit in you line of sight.LOL Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks Charlie. I don't think the vision will be a problem though. I stand taller than the tubes. But I agree with the Top heavy view. I'll try and have another go tonight. I have more ideas to try. I've just thought how I can keep the nine with larger spacing - - - - - - - - - - - - Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Now these ones I like ! ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 And from the side - - ish - -- - - - - I'll get the fabrication drawings sorted over the next few days and get them ordered ready for the warm weather. Jim Any comments gents ? ? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 What an I doing wrong? I can see the thumbnails, but can't open the photo to view it. Something's changed, I can open them now. I think 9 is a bit OTT, but then you had 10 on Small Fry!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Yes Brian, you're right. Jacqui and me have been trying lots of different adaptations this afternoon. She said I just need the barbed wire. " It looks like a fence " We've currently got 7 tubes, Higher in the middle and lower at the sides. The rear legs have been moved behind two of the tubes to " dissappear " them. I'm also going to try them all on one side ( front or back ) instead of being staggered. Jim PS : Mick, I had one of your finished tubes in my hand yesterday. Tony's been let down by a supplier but should get it sorted soon. islander99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I forgot, We're supposed to be buiding a car port. So tubes will have to go underneath. I may need to hinge them. Oh well - - - - - Back to the drawing board - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Top makes for effort Jim, but I have seen women choose shoes in less time than this is taking you!!! Duncan F (bathclaret) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Have you always had an eye for fast women Rob ? ? ? There's a lot of work involved in modelling them Rob but at least I can see what they're gonna look like before paying someone to fabricate real ones. I think I've settled on a design now. I just need to finish modelling it and then produce the fabrication drawings. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirky Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Jim ........Put a couple in the corner at the back to lighten the top load .... then you can get a bimini made to span them and cover the whole deck .... have you thought of getting a sail made for the tubes on the top ????

Brian Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Jim, I see you've finished "Tiddler's" tubes!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Cool ! Thanks for that Brian. It's still on-going but not had a chance to do much to it for a while. They are looking good though. ( and hinged too ) It all takes time, but as I've just invested in some new reels I need to get them up out of the way Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
