I Actually Made Something Today

Tweet

I have been having a bear of a time motivating myself to work at my woodturning. With the kidney stone pain and the pinched nerve in the back pain, it is at times hard to get up and do anything more than the minimum. I did get after a project that I've been meaning to make for quite a long time. I made a couple of hobo reels for fishing. I videotaped making the first one so I hope to do an article on Hubpages and a YouTube video before too long. It's a handle with a spool end for the fishing line. With a little practice, it is possible to cast a line underhand with it assuming I got all the proportions close enough. My son Wesley and I intend to do a little small game hunting and fishing this year in the bush here. There is quite a bit of small game around and there is trout and other fish in the river. We also invested in a couple of hunting slingshots and are working on our aim. Right now I can hit the broad side of a barn but for the time being, I can only scare the wildlife.
