After slowly putting together the stuff I think I need to make a reasonably fist of making lures again, I got stuck into doing some bodies today.
They aren't Rolls Royce quality yet but I'm fairly happy with the outcome so far. They're certainly better than the near enough methods I used to use years ago. I might give the carpentry caper a miss for a couple of days and give the skin I've sanded off the tips of my left thumb and index finger a chance to grow back! Wire forming, gluing and sealing should keep me busy. Today's effort.... |

Good classic shapes and bib placement, should turn out OK. Keep us updated...

Thanks guys!
I figured I'd kick off with a couple of reliable types that dont need much finesse and I know work well for me. Those smaller ones will be the last time I use pine! The inconsistent hardness across the grain is a PITA and I'm really liking the Mahogany tomato stakes to work with. |

I'm pretty happy with it at this stage. It seems to handle the tomato stakes ok and pine's a breeze. It also does a good job on poly bibs. It'll do light gauge metal as well, but I haven't tried that yet. I went with it because most of the lures I'm likely to be doing aren't particularly big and I dont see myself wanting to knock stuff out in big numbers. I think something a bit bigger and more robust would be needed there. I'd probably want a bandsaw if I needed to go that way. |
