I'd love to but can't

Thanks Martin. Glad you like it.

Yeah! Mugging old ladies for the price of a packet of fags. 🤣

Thanks all. Not sure what the wood is. We think maybe Oak or Holm Oak. I picked it up one day whilst out with Daisy. My contact details are on the back.

Nothing to do with fishing. Been working on this a long time and posting here to show one of the reasons I don't go fishing very often. I took 750 pictures, created a 3D model, trimmed it and filled in holes. Passed it through several bits of software. And created this: As you can tell, I'm rather proud of it. I have donated it to Upton House and I think it'll go in the visitor centre. 👍

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to Mick Happy Birthday to you A very happy Birthday Mick. I hope you're on the mend. Be as naughty as you want today. 😉

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to Dan Happy Birthday to you Enjoy your special day.

This is how it finished up! 🙂 I'm pleased with it.

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to Alun Happy Birthday to you Lovely day for it. Any plans besides nipping out fishing ? Enjoy your day.

I've got a dog Trev. Nowhere near as expensive, Good exercise, & I catch just as many fish as I did when I had my boat. . . . . . . . None! 🤣

Thanks Martin. I want to improve it before finding a suitable piece of wood to carve it on. Just need more time. 😉 Looks as though my freelance CAD stuff is drying up now. They've taken on 2 new staff in that dept. so I should have more free time. (Just less money) 🤣

Thanks Charlie. If it keeps chucking it down I'll see if I can improve it. If it turns nice I'm not going to be sitting in my office. 👍 😄

Thanks for the comments Gents. It took hours to get that far but still could be better. (I think) 😉

Phil had another fish on. His rod really was bent over. Mine of course. . . . . . . . . straight as a die. 😭

I had hoped to create a digital 3D model of Madness on our last trip. All the bobbing about on the water confused the hell out of the software so as yet I've failed. I decided to have a go at creating a carving from a photo. Here's the results so far. This is what my software says I'll get if I carve a real piece of wood. Not the best but to ease the pain I added some fish. 🙂 Hope you appreciate my efforts Mad 1.mp4

Ahhhh I DO love a happy ending. 😃 👍

Indeed it is Olli. It is on my Windows 10 system anyway. Thank you. Jim

When I did mine Mick it was the file size. I think it was a maximum of 16K Most photos from a phone will be 3½ MB That's 3500K (ish) (ish) Remember that for next month when you change your boat again. 🤣

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to Martin Happy Birthday to you Looks like a good weather day. Going fishing or staying with family ? Enjoy your day.

Or this:

Like this in case some people don't have issues. I agree with Mick. it's a real pain and it's only on this site.

Bait dropper has gone.

Also, One of these: The Edge, bait dropper.

MY rods don't catch fish on a boat Colin. 🤣
