Heh, heh, heh…to my fishing arsenal.

Total cost $2.15. Used a 2 3/8†dia fence post. I cut a piece 9 ½†long; ripped down one side. Went to Home Depot & bought fence clamps. (hence the only cost) Clamped it back together & mounted it endwise to an old piece of aluminum left over from an old boat project. Put some lead in an old cast iron sauce pan that I inherited years ago. Heated it up outside on the grill with some scrap wood. Angled the nose on my antique lathe. Finished the nose with a s/s screw & washers. Tail is a piece of 1/8†aluminum, left over from another boat project. Tail slot cut with an old hand saw. Not sure where the I-Bolt came from but was hanging on a nail in the basement for the last 20 years or so. Found the balance point by hanging it from the floor joist with string. Paint was left-over from a fence job a few years back.

Now I just have to build a cradle for it.

Heh, heh, heh…The SILVER ARROW will ride again.

Come on Spring!!!!!!!
