Tiddler would be Top Heavy with that little lot. Looks good though.

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

Thanks Peter. Took a look on google maps. Jim

*%$£"£^%%$$£$%%^%£$%$£ Jim PS Nige, Where is Stanpit ground ?

Looks like good fun with an engine !

Budgie, I used to wear your Jacket in the 70's Have faith in my words. Jim Hope you get the mooring sorted !

Thanks for that Nige !

I hardly ever suffer, but use same method as Martin if I'm expecting it to be a bit lumpy. Charlies advice is also very good. Good luck Peter. Jim

We could always eat less " horse burgers "

Dawn Dishwashing Soap ? "DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE." Where can I get me sticky little mits on a few gallons ? ? ?

I use a big plank when I trail the boat. But enough about Rob! :D

One of Mick's Tubes. Don't be fooled. These are not the same as the cheap & Nasties on ebay. Jim

We could get a song ready for Red Nose Day: " Fishin all day " by the Singing Propellers ! Jim

I had never heard of this. Just googled it. It looks very interesting. Hope it works well for you. Jim

Muckle Flugga ? Sounds like summat out of Harry Potter ! Cracking fish. Good eating too !

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

That looks terrible Brian. Hope it gets resolved soon. Jim

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 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

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.

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 ? ? ?

Now these ones I like ! !

Sounds like a great Idea Paul. I hated it to start with. But it's growing on me But like Charlie and probably many others, I would like some demos. Please explain slowly for us " Codgers " Thankee Kindly sir. Jim

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

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. Jim

Well I've finally made a start on Tiddler's Tubes. Not too keen on these. Whad'ya reckon ? Jim
