Storm Report post Posted July 12, 2008 Hey Darryl, Very nice piece. Functional and attractive and the same time. No reason why a piece can't look good while doing something useful. Really good work! Storm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sodapop Report post Posted July 13, 2008 appreciate it storm...ya i bet i'll have the nicest looking needle nose plyer holder on the lake hehe...may be a bit of overkill for what it is...i dunno...but its practice and every lil bit adds something for me...my lace holes this time around are much cleaner and sized proper i believe vs the eyeglass case i did... thanks wildrose...if i bend that far over in the lake i'd better have a snorkel on lol... darryl p.s can anyone tell me if i laced this on the wrong side??...i'm not sure honestly...the book said start from the front so i did...and when lacing i'm putting the lace through the front hole through the back...than bringing it over on top and under the lace, making the braid then passing it through...front to back again etc...is this right??...when i started the braid...the bit of extra would have been sticking out the front initially... just seems the braids are more towards the back of the case and less of a distance/length going from the braid to the hole compared to the front?? any help would be greatly appreciated... darryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sodapop Report post Posted July 13, 2008 thanks spider & nick...yes functional is a good thing...for one i hopefully won't lose the damn thing and second...its accessable when i need it & not fumbling through pockets etc...i almost always fish with neoprene chestwaders...and only so much room in the chest pocket on those...and i don't wear the vests cuz i wade out fairly deep at times where the vest would be in the water...no good lol darryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
