I have been looking for pictures of a sander which I promiced to post for someone when we were at Borumba Dam a few weeks back--- searched and searched my picture files, after a week of scratching my head I finally found IT and a few other tools I have had to make over the years, please see all below and hope you can use some: A set of jaws for holding a beveled lure etc in a vice/ clamp:Use two pieces of Al angle and a piece (or two) of round steel rod, works well.

To scribe a centre line on an even- tapered (or straight) piece of timber, make one of these out of some Aluminum 'U" chanell , a rivet with a sharpened spike through it--you must have near perfect centre---scribe away.

Very clever Pete. I especially like the little jig for marking centre lines, can see myself making one of these.

An 'Aussie Weel' as opposed to the older and much more usefull 'English Wheel'This is just a sander, to sand around compound, convex, flat and concave curves.
I used an old evaporative cooler motor slow/ 4 speed, dust proof with a shaft on either end for seperate wheels .Fix a roughly round piece of 'custom wood',( which should be slightly wider than your lure width) onto a pully wheel (or collar) and fit it to your motor shaft, get or make a wood turning tool (old file will do) and turn the the wood slab round with a 'square edge--now get/ make another 'half round' tool which is the same diameter as your lure width and turn a half round groove into the edge of the sanding wheel -----------THEN Pete

FLAT bending Polycarbonate sheet ('Lexan').
Pinch your wife/ daughter's 'hair straightner',---needs to have variable heat settings up to about 165C-- Heat her up and bend away,,, don't get caught though. Pete

Poor mans wire former for twisted through wires--- you have to make a wooden jig with pins in it to set the wire bends - once you have the size of your wire 'harness' or hanger jig,, this doo dah makes a barrell twist which does not shorten the wire like a 'haywire twist'.

Some nice ideas there Hazmail. Like the line scribe tool and center finder, built mine out of wood but your idea looks sweet. Thanks for posting this up.

Happy to share them, most of these came out of the days when everything was 'top secret' and no one shared anything - Around the country there is probably a hundred versions of 'centre finder's' etc - I know I have about 4-5 different bib alighners, and still none of them are as good as my old eyes. I still have a few more gadgets in the 'tools' album but I ran out of time last night, bed was calling.

Bib aligner/ checker- Hang or stand your lure vertical (90 degrees) to bench and shoot a line down the lure and bib with a cheap laser line marker ($6 at the dollar shop)-- works best before you top coat, as you can see the laser flares off the glossy coating,,, and bib. |

Eye Placement Jig.
You may have to make 2 jigs if eyes are above or below the bib slot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!one each for left and right eye, just bend to suit - otherwise it's pretty straight forward. **** OR--- make one of these and do both sides with the same tool, just bend to suit your eye preferences. Pete |

Rattling Eyes. Use a wad punch to punch out desired colour and stick your eyes to it- the steel ball rettles back and forth between the two eyes - Yep!!! they do make a racket, works well. Pete

Air brush stand:
Get a tapered nozzle off a small glue/silicone tube, drill a hole and jam it in , then fill with metho or thinners, insert the brush tip- the metho/ thinners stops paint from drying in the tip on hot day between colours etc. |

Is that the Tamiya acrylic or enamel in the background? I've been using the acrylics so far, but if you're using the enamels I might have to give them another shot. Cheers Steve |

Jas--Yeah, I reckon someone is probably already snitching them, they might have to take some more pictures though, they are copyrighted.
Yes Steve, but that picture is probably 3-4 years old, don't use it much these days, too expensive and epoxy doesn't like it for some reason. Pete

I've been using sign writers vinyl in various colours to make stick on eyes ,I just cut the discs with wad punches .Larger disc for the eye and smaller different colour for the pupil.
You can get very small wad punch sets from craft shops. My lure making has been very slow of late , other projects have jumped the queue. |
