Good job, sure do like those. Am assuming that they all are slip bobbers. In western Pa, fishing mostly Shenango Lake.
no those are fixed floats that can be slid up and down the line with rubber grommets but I have also made slip floats in the pastQuote:

Your work is excellent and looks like a great thing to do especially in winter, well unless you fish in winter. I just don't do that any more, the cold is too much for me now and use to love winter, now not so much, lol!

Nice looking floats. College sports fans might offer some color combo ideas. lol
Those look great...good work
I searched "mini lathe" on amazon and found inexpensive ones for $50. Not sure about their quality, but seems like a cool inexpensive hobby to play with.
I love those type of floats , where do you get your supplys
