I thought I’d give a shout out to ALR member Jim Spray and the turned, three piece Powder and Shot measure set he made for me. Super stuff Jim, thanks!

 PS: Just out of curiosity; if I remember right they had rings on them, how did you attach them, also are those tugs braided? From the Pix they look like it, if so, nice touch.

Hey Tim, his originals had rings but I ordered mine with no attachment and I drilled through the base w/ a 1/8th bit like I’ve seen on a few of Sibley’s measure horn sets. I dyed and waxed some hemp string for the tugs. If they spin out I’ll braid them. Braiding is actually a really good idea. I think I’ll do that...

 At first I thought they were the ones that were in "For Sale" and with the tops cut off.

 Thanks, Tim

Thanks everyone! It was Bob's idea to drill a hole in the base and use a cord to hang them from.I like the way it looks.

Thanks,
Jim
