Default Getting the Kids involved

Well as it is the summer holidays and the kids are at home and will soon be 'bored'

I have encouraged them to be constructive.

I have 3 boys aged 7, 9 & 14 so they can be quite a handfull!

They are all just taken an interest in fishing and would all like their own tackle.

So to make teach them the value of earning what they get and to get themselves some money to buy tackle and fly tying materials I have set them to making priests and drying racks.

Here is the first drying rack.

And these are the first batch of priests just waiting have the lanyard hole drilled and the leather lanyard fitted.

What do you guys think are they any good and will they sell?

You must live near a deer estate. All those antlers.

Nice goods.

They look very nice-and useful. I first saw these on the North American Fly Fishers Forum and what a great idea for drying racks! Well done.
