Tom,

Good to see you are up and about....so what's your current project or is it still for the upcoming auction?

-

worked the last days on the cartridge holder from my diver friend at Skilly.

Got the half now apart and have problems to remove this fat my friend put on to preserve the leather...

But it is to remove and the leather will be smooth to work with when I am finish with cleaning.

Here are the insitu pics in my thread:

Found also traces wood inside, so it makes it easier to reconstruct the gone inside. The case was slightly bent to fit ergonomically on the hip! This will get tricky to carve it out of a new piece of wood so the leather fits later perfect and can be stitched together again.

I LOVE those king of work!!

When I have all pieces apart and the leather fragments are cleaned from the inside encrustations, I will make new photos of all this MESS A shock photo so to speak, than you will see it when everything is puzzles together and looks later like a Toaster or something from outer space

Beep, have you been dipping into ARC’s grog again?

 

[Blak bart]

ever play with a launch pad ??
There a lot of fun.

 

[Blak bart]

actually got 3 like this while fishing in the bahamas....free floaters drifting along in the breeze and tide. I gave a slightly smaller one to a bahamian for his trawl bouy. They all have there own styles of rope work. The rope work is vital and breaks the surface tension while riding along pulling long line gear. If you try to pull one in the boat while moving forward the suction on the smooth surface of the bouy makes it very difficult. The net around the ball makes it much easier.

 

[Blak bart]

These will go on the bouy fence in my collection. Since theres no beachcombing forum on here I rarely show all my fantastic finds.... theres a whole world of us out there collecting everything from bouy's, and bottles, to seabeans and ambergris. These bouy's are collectible, or can be reused by fisherman. These would be called plastics and are worth 20 - 50$ heres my collection, I also go after the old fishing lures....as you can see.

 

[Blak bart]

heres some metal floats....they are much older, and much more desired. We have plastics, foamies, and metals in that shot. I have at least a thousand fishing lures hanging on the fence. Or falling on the ground I see.
