need the rope eyes tig welded, waiting on the new stainless wire brushes to buff them up afterwords....looking good though ....I had to go back into training after 1-1/2 years, but it finally came back to me....darn it sucks getting old
6 of them I put the pencil points on first and made it go quicker....it will be done that way from now on.... if I ever make any more
They are looking good! Can't wait to break one in this October....
I think I am going to play with one more and try and make a 5 prong for me....not sure if the pipe for the lead mold will allow it, and really don't care for a 5 prong anyway....seems that second prong could stop a good shot at getting one in the fish,by hitting the gill plate, head area ....it has happened before to me and my ling 5 prong gaff
but need something to do waiting on the stainless wire brush..... to finish these http://www.gulfcoastfishingconnectio...isc/giggle.gif http://www.gulfcoastfishingconnectio.../beathorse.gif
5 prong won't work, back to the 4....and that is good enough
Great looking gaffs how much do you sell them for i am really interested!
This might be your only chance to get one like this, made by me, so keep cutting that grass, it will last a life time.... if someone doesn't want it more then you and gets legs and walks off.....Quote:

I told them the guy who made 'em went out of business....now he's back in, but won't be for long, sounds like.Quote:

that is good to know Rich, you never know about me and my time(never was a business just sharing some skills I have and these would have never happened without John g )....
I am glad the Navarre guys like it!!! I may make a trip or 2 over there.....I may check on shipping of these, if it's reasonable and not to much of a hassle for me..... I may start to do more in the future.
Thanks for the kind words http://www.gulfcoastfishingconnectio...c/thumbsup.gif
I think, I am going to check on shipping for the ones not able to make it at the same time....I already did somewhat on many of them to Fin, if I wasn't able to make it....for medical issues with my in-laws again....figured what the heck, the ups store isn't to far and they said they have plenty of different size boxes.....so if you, or anyone else is interested and cover the shipping and packing cost..... I will shipQuote:
