Default A few Floats
I think there are one or two float makers on here from past experiences and posts from members.
Just for discussion or interest a few I have just finished.
Anyone else made a few floats lately pictures please.

nice & bright so you can see them...I would call them Gary's Blindman Floats & now you got your own can I have mine back....
This is what Ive recently been working on a box of floats to be auctioned at a dance for Help for Heroes.

You have absolutely no chance, Ive never used that one yet, as Im waiting on the right moment as I want it to be a grayling to have the 1st fish and there are still a few trout around to take the risk...

Gary you never know what santa may bring you this year, something to solve ALL your problems

Ive already done 2 boxes this year for Help for Heroes, a charity close to my own heart , and also floats for a scottish kids charity so at the moment Im catching up on orders for xmas presents of similar style and content.
