Blackbriar 8,568 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 You don't need much experience, and your skills develop with each one you make - I think I cut 5 or 6 before I hit on one that I was happy with ! That's the fun of it - it's personal to you. I'm sure the guys here will be happy to help in any way they can. Don't be frightened to ask........... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nick Hegarty 5 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 when i made my first catty which took me ages with a jigsaw a hole saw and a file,i decided to band it up with some elastic i bought from Asda , i was so pleased with the result i thought i'm going to make more of those, these are a [BANNED TEXT] hunting tool. since then i've made hundreds and its become a bit easier now i've got the correct equipment and knowhow.
