Slinky Kate 09/05/15 - Garage Time

[The Great Wallsendo]

With the weather not being perfect Team Slinky were landlocked today…so after a coat of paint on the walls of my hallway (have been decorating all week) it was off to Slinky HQ for an afternoon of garage time.

Now often when we have garage time it’s for kicks and for the craic…today was all about graft – Team Slinky had orders to fulfil!

Multi tasking was the name of the game as we had leaded hooks to make, plastic lures to squirt and boat bomb moulds to machine…:yltype:

A number of hours later with all objectives met it was a tired apprentice that headed home for a fry up!

Few pics:

The soft plastics...










The new mould...











My reward to myself for a hard days graft!!!



Roll on the better weather though...DIY and garage time is all well and good but saturdays at this time of year should be about the fishing

Cheers Norm!

Thanks for reading

Tony

Proper little cottage industry going there lads, and a canny canteen by the looks of it too.

Those early moulds are hard work...the machined grub moulds are a pleasure to work with
