I'm new to the tippy thing but it seems to function like all the others I've seen on youtube and other adds. Am I missing something?
I just made a nice one with material I had on hand and will try to post some pictures but really have trouble with photo bucket and such.Mine is made from 1x1" oak with two pieces of 3/8 plywood on the base it folds flat and hinges on two 1/4 carriage bolts with compression springs under wing nuts. The hardest part was figuring how to mount the rod to a pivot. I end up using an old 1" dia scope ring that I cut most of the base of but left a lump for the pivot rod. Pivot rod is a piece of of high nickel TIG welding rod and a dab of shoe goo holds it in place. A couple of of small aluminum tabs control the windage of the pivot rod.http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k432/flint18/tipdown003_zps85f2f58c.jpgMaybe the link will work to my ice fishing stuff.
