I think I need to invest in a tripod...getting too old and shaky. I did this weave with one good eye. I had cataract surgery last week; it was fun, the weaving, not the surgery.

Ellis, I'm glad you brought up the out of focus thing. I didn't want to do it & sound like a jerk....but - you put all that time and effort into designing & performing the weave. All that time putting together the grip for someone. You felt proud enough to post a photo of it for everyone else to enjoy. You owe it to yourself to post a clear photo, it only does justice to the work you put into the rod. I hope you're not angry with me for stating that, but it's the way I feel & I hope it pushes you to teh tripod or to having someoen else take teh pics for you so we can enjoy them and get a good look at what you did.

I agree with you Billy. I tried several shots and that didn't help. The day was cloudy so the camera took a little longer to snap the picture. I never take offence at your criticism. I know that you mean well even if you are "busting my chops" as yous guys say on the east coast.
