As a machinist by trade, this is impressive to say the least. Most will look at it and just say aww that's easy.. Well you try to get the spacing on the hinge just right. To where there is no gap while just using a * and a nut to ensure that your spacing between the two hinges is correct .One miscount of turning the * and I can guarantee that there would have been a lot of profanity. And how do you remove all of the material not just from where the flange is but where the pocket for the flies is without having an oopss. Ohh don't forget this was probably done in a home garage with the neighbors complaing as sweat is pouring off his head while trying to keep the same sweat from ruining the finish on the fly boxes.

Very impressed with this... Have a bit of teak to donate. If you are interested let me know where to drop it off in near future... Cant bring myself to burn it. Its not much but if you want it, it's yours

Thanks Sean. I can come by and pick it up. I live near Glendale if that's not far from you. Greg, I'd like to see what you have too. My son lives in OC too so maybe I could stop by and see how you make your nets. I remember seeing one at the film tour. They're beautiful.

I bought some C and F clips and foam inserts and made this today. I'm hoping to sell some once I get in inventory. Minus the flies of course. ;)
