    Thanks Bill. I'm back to New Orleans for another few months of FUN. I'll put this project on the back burner with a few more.

    Bill,
    I need to learn how to use a trolly rig. Will you teach me when you get back?

    Be prepared---you have to learn the correct way to burn incense in the wind to propitiate the wyrds of fishing. Since you from up nawth, and from a landlocked state, a goat and latex gloves might be involved. Practice your chants. Bring a hemorrhoid cushion, just in case.

    More or less the finish product, looking forward to trying how they hold, nothing worse then when you think the anchor is set good only to release premature and need to recast to reset and start over
    Still working on cutting a few more cups out & bending, plus the other style with copper legs, tig welding the 1 gaff rope tear drop eye, getting ready for paint (gift)
