Hahaha haha, aye, who can forget the Flower o' the Gorbals? Hahahaha

Thankyou so much, although I do make them to be used... but it's up to those who buy them I suppose.

Hi Steve,,, I don't know the exact name or type of the foam but I found it while unpacking a washing machine.

@@TheGapinkerton Ok, many thanks mate.

Thought you'd appreciate this Graeme, down here in North Wales we gas fitters call wire wool, wait for it ! Hairy Mary 😂😂😂

Not really got a name for it Phillip,,, ite really just a wee thin walled brass tube of appropriate diameters to suit the stem materials,,, fitted into a handle.

Yeah,,, I've seen it happening with most accents, hahahaha

Richard what do you want out of life? People put themselves out to help others because they realise they are good at something and have a gift, only for people such as yourself to be downright rude in the comments. If you honestly can't understand him then I suggest that instead of complain about it you stop the video on parts you didn't understand and play it until you do. It really isn't nice saying what you've said and I suggest an appology is in order.

@@matthewtanner9823 You are correct Sir and I do sincerely apologize. I did not mean any disrespect whatsoever toward this man, his video or what he is sharing. The reason I cannot understand almost everything he is saying is because I am a disabled, 77 year old Veteran, retired from the U.S. Army and due to the Vietnam war years, I am deaf in my left ear and can barely hear out of my right ear. Even with trying to hear what someone is saying in person, without reading their lips while they are speaking, I can only understand a fraction of what they are saying. This man is a very good teacher and I did enjoy his video. That is why I said I wish I could understand what all he was saying. I am confident he is speaking clearly but I simply cannot hear it.

@@richardherrington2852 Please accept my sincerest apologies from one exsoldier to another. It must have been horriffic suffering from loss of hearing for most of your life. Graeme (Mr float Hut) has broad shoulders and I'm sure no damage has been done. I also didn't mean to offend with my comment and I wish you many happy hours with your float making and fishing Sir. All the best, Matthew

@@matthewtanner9823 You do not owe me an apology for anything at all. I should have explained why I could not understand what he was saying. I could understand some of what he was saying but again you are correct... I had to play the video over & over. In watching a RUclips video, when a female is talking, with a high-pitched voice... I rarely can understand anything. When in public, with everyone wearing COVID masks... it gets even more difficult. It is totally impossible to read someone's lips when they are talking. LOL

Hi Bonnie. All my tools are custom made. These are made from thin walled brass tubing and hand turned handles.

@@TheGapinkerton lucky you. I live in Canada and I am a crafter. This would help so much. Do you sell these tubes? It looks like an awl somewhat except your tube is hollow.

I don't sell them Bonnie, I get the tube from ebay, search for "thin walled brass tube".

@@TheGapinkerton okay. Thanks for the info.

Hi, sorry for the delay in answering. Yeah, it is a thin walled brass tube I use,,, I think they are primarily for hobby steam engines! Who'd a thunk?

To begin with, I'd love to hear what an "accent free" English speaker sounds like as it is impossible to speak without some sort of accent, regardless of where you come from. If a man with a very clear Scottish accent speaking in a video upsets you I suggest you turn it off and move on with your life. If you believe that people with "heavy" accents shouldn't upload videos online then I also suggest you come to Scotland and tell people that to their face as it is downright racist and I am appalled at your attitude. Furthermore, if a man's accent is causing you to have an "existential crisis" I genuinely pity you, maybe your poor understanding of English has sparked this crisis and not so much this man's accent. Maybe in future, leave your computer at home, go outside and speak to English/Scottish/Irish/Welsh/American/Australian people and get a better grasp on different dialects instead of leaving a downright petty comment on a small account who has set out to educate others and doesn't need to take this negativity from entitled people like yourself.

Jan, can I suggest that if you're struggling to understand these videos you go and see your Doctor. He may prescribe physiotherapy on your ears. Maybe your ear muscles have gone lazy? I'm sure with the right type of therapy it isn't too late to get your hearing back again to how it should be. In the meantime, you may want to work on that "Flawless" English you seem so proud of. One of the first things that Most decent Englishmen would tell you is that first of all you have to realise that you should "NOT" be so rude. That would be the first thing any person works on if they want to speak true English "Manners maketh a man". say that phrase to yourself for 24hrs and you'll be on your way. No need to thank me!!

I am sorry if that came out wrong. I was just shocked at how bad I was in english and how huge the step between me and a native speaker still is after thinking that it was big, but not on a COMPLETELY different level. Existential Crisis was not meant negatively but just as an expression of surprise. With saying that I can speak english completely accent free I only meant that I dont really have a german accent, of course there still are subtle differences between all 50 US States etc. It was just very surprising to me how the comments suggested that everybody could understand it perfectly fine, while meanwhile I would stand no chance understanding a german accent thats so far from my own, personal upper Austrian accent. I watch tv series, movies, and many things on RUclips in english and I have no difficulties with that. I think its understandable that its a bit shocking to me how RUclipsrs, Movie Characters etc. which I understand perfectly well can understand something perfectly well that sounds LITTERALY like another language to me (NOT as an expression of someone speaking this way doing something wrong because I personally dont understand it). Still no excuse for not giving more effort to not seem rude in my surprise. I was just typing and not thinking. I'm aware that I must seem very defensive for repeating myself this often.

@@asorbli I know Graeme (Mr Float Hut) and have fished with him in the past. He's aware he has a broad Scottish accent and if I know Graeme like I think I do is probably smiling to himself right now. I once went to Scotland with my friend for a week and ended up having to translate to my friend what his cousins were trying to tell him. If my friend couldn't understand his cousins (when he is half Scottish) then I can clearly see why somebody from Germany can't either but you have to understand that it can be hurtful at times when you're trying to help others and all you seem to get is negative comments/feedback. We won't let this muddy the waters though. Good luck with your float making my friend and thankyou for taking the time to reply.

@@matthewtanner9823 Now I feel uncomftable...

Hi Andrew,,, no, I haven't. What is it like?

@@TheGapinkerton Well, I'm just starting to experiment with it. It seems quite soft. I can easily dent it with my fingernail. But then, I can balsa as well. But very light and hopefully very buoyant! I heard about it from another float-maker's blog.

Fantastic,,, its all about trying new things,,, let us know how you get on with it,,, sounds promising. G

I don't k ow any particular brands in the US but look for waterborne flooring lacquer.

@@TheGapinkerton roger that. Thank you for the reply. Also big thanks for the knowledge in all the videos! Hope all is well sir.

Hi Bruce, the reason these were done in two parts was that I wasn't sure if I was going to use a quill section for the tip and the bodies are made from hobby grade balsa dowel.

I come from Scotland, just outside Glasgow, 👍👍

@@TheGapinkerton Thanks for your reply. :)
