Id like to see that tackle box of yours, might make one too.

Thanks for the info on the rod, I'll have to give it a go. I really like the look of your little rowboat. Gave me some ideas.

I did the Midwest skiff and it reminded me so much of the boats grandpa built at the lake house. I decided to build three more, building them as I remember grandpa doing it, usually from free wood he scavenged from somewhere, so they were all built different. I did three, one has a shallow "V" bottom and we used it with a 5 horse Evinrude. The second was with a Dory built bottom, carvel built hull and false keel. Third was a plank bottom with a false keel, and clinker built or lapstrake hull. All three of these were completely scratch built, just like I remember building them with grandpa.

Here is the tackle box, made from scraps of Evergreen styrene

mushroom anchor from a button and scrap,

It's made from copper tube to resemble old window sash weights we used.

Two different worm cans. we used to use metal coffee cans.

Oars from basswood with the rowlocks made from brass bits, and bamboo pole from a pack of plastic bamboo stuff used in dioramas.
