[quote Piscophilic]Nice report and pictures, as usual. I'm glad you enjoyed the services on Easter morning and didn't lose any eggs. They get to stinking after a while...well that's what I've heard any way[
]
I love your new bump board! I noticed the hinges and I'm thinking I might add some mine so it is easier to store. How did you do the "headboard" and do you have a way to lock the hinged board in place?
Thanks,

[#0000FF]Yeah, two of the eggs I found last year were ones I had hidden the year before. Really added a new "dimension" to the egg salad sandwiches I made with them. YUCKO
Attaching some pics of the bump board as I was fabbing it. I always do that for something new. The main board is some lightweight PVC (what else) door jamb material...ribbed. 6 or 7 inches. I used three small hinges as pictured...leaving some hanging over to provide a stop when opened. For transporting closed I put a couple of small bungee cords around it. It stays flat and out of the way until needed. And the fish keep it open when in use. But you could put a catch on it if needed.
The end piece is simply a few inches cut off the length of the PVC I bought...screwed to the bottom section. If you wanted it to ride flatter you could put a hinge on that too. Another option would be to use pins and holes to push the end piece in place when open...and to hold the back piece open when in use. That would require attaching the yardsticks back an inch or so to account for the insert.
Like all of my new creations this one is likely to see a couple of tweaks before I move on to something else.
