Hi Guys, Been stuck in the house for a while,been feeling unwell, I decided to have a go at making myself some Floats, I used Branches that were scrap,
and were flung in a large pile out the back of my place, here are a few pictures.

After carving them I used sandpaper rubbed them down, I then painted them black let them dry, then give them a yellow top. I'm planing to use them tomorrow camping at the side of a lake over night, and fishing. I hope to catch a few nice fish using them........:camping: Will let you know how I get on :)

They look really good floats,best of all you made them from scraps and they occupied your time when you were unwell T^
