Very nice work thank you for sharing them.

Very nice work thank you for sharing them.

Not a problem Timbertodd. I am just a student of this handtied game. Learning as I go. I try to share all I make and get feedback on the ties so I can improve. I am real busy lately remodeling the kitchen for the wife, so not so much vise time. By the time I'm done for the day, My bad back and knees won't let me do much of anything...Will get back after the tying as soon as I can...

[Tradbow]

Very nice ties. Very nice!!

[GrumpyLoomis]

Gotta love remodeling. All the that gets you is the next idea from the lil woman and an occasional extra hug.

[Jamesdean]

GrumpyLoomis, I got news for you...lol. It lets you discover parts of your body you had forgotten about, parts that were achy before are full-fledged screaming now, and your body says your mind was lying to you when it said you were a young and able-bodied person. So my recommended answer is, when she ask's if you can do it, answer that's a bit beyond your comprehension and hire someone else to do it...Even with the hard shell outside knee pads on, my knees and ankles are screaming, and I've worn out three sets of batteries on my tens unit already. LOL...

My friend, I already learned that "If it is important for her then it is a priority for me." Translation...no fishing or making any lures until you get done what what she put on the "To do" list. Seems to me like after 52 years of marriage that list is still growing. What I cannot do I just get a professional to do it. Now, at my advanced age quickly approaching 80 there are more handy men doing what I used to attempt.

Mike, I never implied it wasn't important to make sure she's not happy. I learned a long time ago, That If momma ain't happy, THEN NOBODIES HAPPY!!!!
