slip and BM
 

thank you guys for the mini seminar-what little information I was able to soak in has been put to use already. I just successfully drilled an off center hole on a danny and it worked great. I made a jig to clamp onto my press instead of using a lathe, but seeing it done makes it easier to do for myself.
chris

Yeah.. the off center drilling was what always confused me too..
thanks guys!

I also appreciated all the information I picked up today at the mini seminar. But, I must have been at the food table when the off center drilling was covered, can someone fill me in?
Thanks
Rod

Yeah thanks guys it really brought it all together for me. :D

Your welcome.
There is another way of doing it on the drill press.
#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& posted about it and I copied and pasted it here somewhere. Too tired right now to look or write it all out.

yup, that's the way I did it, just did a jointed swimmer the same way too, only drilling the off center hole on the front piece. makes it look much neater:D
are u still gonna make plugs after your big score today eben?

Plugs..... What plugs??

anyone want to trade?:laughs:

LOL, thanks Eben, the needle is beautiful. That popper you made is awesome too. Was difficult to chose between the 2... The Squid was just totally unbelievable, Clamma is a lucky dude.

Glad you like the glass:D: Everyone felt like I was crazy to part with those, but I can always make more.. I wanted plugs and I got some:D
Clammer left with the squid, but we got a deal goin on for some trips out on the clam barge...

Clammer, I found some rosary beads... :hihi:

Theres a certian spotlight that blasts down into the water at one of the places I fish, and that chicken scratch pikie's gonna have some fun down there next fall

thanks:D

Thanks bassmaster for showing us that pikie demo, you had everything down to a science and it really opened up my eyes to how in depth making plugs can get. I still can't get over how fast you turned that plug and how perfect it came out. You're like a machine :D

rizzo and turf and surf, :bgi:

Thanks so much for the fish candy and the fudge :drool: delicious

Your welcome Slip, we appreciate all the help from the get together and the board.

Eben I got like 8 of those eyes from Adam R I would realy like to seeeee some more of them, there neto.Its the little stuff that makes the difference in the art type pieces.

Oh an by the way U probably have more talent then everyone in that room put together them glass plugs an squid where out of this world I saw tthe box of plugs U made off with But I think U should 've held out for more.I did notice U got a Cape Sams plug.I here they are hard to get.Just ask his good buddy Slip.:laughs:

NIB I got 4 capesams plugs:D
Aparently I have the largest colection of his besides himself.. I look at them and just :drool:....he's good.
That squid was the 1st one I ever made.. but as far as being more talented than someone else... well I usually tell people its about patience.. anyone who has good patience can make what ever they want. I think talent comes into play when your coming upp with ideas, but its patience that gets you places.

when I get some free time I'll make more eyes.... they're time consuming little buggars.

:crying:..............squid:drool:

Cryin sam......
Eben I'm a mental patient.Do U know how to make calamari.

Aint that the truth - last year I got a free rod out of him (he builds sweet sitcks too if anyone needs one) but I never got a measely old dusted pearl plug :drool:

I kinda wish I traded him for more of my stuff so I could have really cashed in on the cape sams mojo...

I'm fondeling them right now.....I can barely control myself:smash:

I got 15 needles,,,30 dannies,,,an 10 surfsters in the makeins,,mine..ALLMINE,,,,well maybe!

Put my name on a couple o' needles, PLEASE! :p

note to self, HO 'em hard, when ya pick up yer rods..... ;)

Cape dude build me a "22" An I 'll keeep our little secret hushhush.

After you get Karl some needles, put my name on one surfster Mr. Hi HO Sylver , for a classic slip plug PLEASE :drool:

I just want one for my collection and all you will get is a sincere thank you. A CS plug is one of the only ones I don't have. You can use the stainless I gave you for the lip, so it will feel like I contributed. Cellar cleaned soon so you come then to visit, No Bassm'masta though, just you. Me no trust bassm'masta, he forked tongue devilman.:devil:

How about me Flap? I wanna see too :)

You ok to Mr. Slip, you come with Cape Sams but no Bassm'masta. He bad man with bad mojo, his chi not good.:laughs:
