Budgie just a quick question

After watching the video it seems that you have no lead in your pencil. Can you confirm this is correct or is there a different way in which you get lead in your pencil ?

Dont be too critical Peter, thats OK for silvers and the small carp they catch up north. No good for us Southerners as the floats wouldnt last 5 minutes on our waters.

Oooooops sorry Dave, I forgot, and given that Budgie hardly ever catches when he visits Rolf's he wouldn't have realised that. Image

Pete it was just a bit of an insight for josh and ant haywood as they like a quicky Image i would show all how to make a Bespoke float from start to finish and would fully illustrate all information how to turn balsa or foam bodies identical and fully assemble and paint but it would only upset the float mafia and i don't want to do that after the last time Image ImageNasty emails Image
