Total copper bobber
« on: September 20, 2014, 07:40:27 pm »
Can't find my old billet so when I was at Lowes getting some traps etc for my neighbors new sink I splurged. Yeah, I know it looks like all the rest but this
is cheap and easy. Sounds cool to.

All indirect with the billet. Only one hinge. Time for some pressure.

in the beginning..... I made some of those but the tx I was hitting ate through to the lead in about a week >:(. Alas! I stumbled upon some copper rounds and reckon they'll last a lifetime :). that is a good looking one there Zuma! Betcha it grips well too..
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

Thanks cowboy. It has a nice feel.
The 1" copper cap has a reducer (r) between it and the 3/4 "
copper pipe handle. It is pretty thick and heavy.
All the extra solder in, around the joints helps too.
