camp chair

it also a great place to relax with a cigarette

and a beer and a book

lean back into the pillow behind it's like a recliner or lounge

simple and versatile clever device

batenkill large arbor reel sack

well the battenkill was just too versatile a reel to be stored in this display case

it went into a more versatile sack

that 8wt never sees the light of day here in az

obligatory agate cheesecake

where am I going?

I love finishing up rods

as things occur I'm finishing three

I continued w/ the leather overkill

did all the prep work 

sans the stitching

as I don't have thread

it's got a cross on there

I dig it

I dig these too...

oh yeah I spent saturday night hanging from a hammock
it was delightful and I'll be doing it again tomorrow night
amazing how simple it is to hang the thing
I slept like a freakin' baby

still at it

I must be bored or something

actually I also put some finish coats of varnish on a couple rods

well butt sections

tips need thread tags clipped and another coat

more leatherworks?

stop looking at my shit

this is actually the project that got all this shit started

next up are a couple sunglass cases

and a couple reel housings

I've got some really shitty snaps though

or maybe I'm just shitty at setting them - that could be
