Table hog goes to me...

Thanks you John for sponsering the even...

Bruce.. with out your"above and beyond" effort this event probably doesn't happen... I'we all cant thank you enough..

The first picture is of my e-tex demo... i feel it went well.. I answered alot of questions ( even after the demo) and dispelled alot of myths about e-tex... no wonder so many people have trouble..

Next is my hook hanger/wiring method display..for me. this is to honor some real smart guy;'s from the past who thought of some real clever ways to hand a hook from a plug...

lastly was my jig/fixture display .. it took a great deal of the day yesterday to re-assemble my shop and get everything functioning again..

Bill that jig in the first shot was quite the contraption. His homemade display spun 13 plugs for show. Ran off one rotisserie motor, the wood part had what is best described as wagon wheel gear sets ,that thing was cool to look at. He had a different set up on the other side of the table that was pretty cool also.

Thumbs up

Joe, really, you should write a book.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Happy as a clam with a rod in my hand. Nice gentleman.

Bruce I'll bet you have seen him fishing in my favorite place in spring, he frequents it often.
