Here's another old one that I discovered last night on a hard-drive. I film this back in 2008 in the shed of Toss Sinnott in Rosslare Harbour and it's 15 minutes of him explaining to me in great detail the difference in the types of whelk pots that he has designed up. I found people can be fierce creative when they have to be and all over the coast of Ireland you will find fishermen re-purposing objects to suit their needs - in this case Toss and his brother have figured out ways to turn these old drums into Whelk Pots and each year, depending on what they have available - their design changes slightly. Contemporary vernacular at its finest.
