Needles Clearly just Needles
 

Man I'm having a ball with this acrylic :) here's a Yellow, Red and blue Stubbie-needle:

OOPs here is the red one

are you casting them ???

they look wild :D

Just some prototypes, They have only seen the river behind my house no salt yet. Maybe this weekend :)

Real nice work -- how heavy ? size? Does the acrylic turn Ok? Heat building up when spinning?? :claps:

They look great!! :btu:
do one about 5 inches clear with a silvery olive back, sand eel dimensions... :drool: :uhuh:

Those are pretty. I have some clear yellow green stuff I will have to try.

Ahhh yes heat is definately the issue when working with it. I personally don't use a lathe, All work is don on sanders. Definatly have to work cool and rather than sanding on down stroke on bench, you need to do it up so it drags the hot material away from it.

The weight is about 2.5 on the large yellow, 2.2 on the Red and same on the blue. Stuff is beautiful when done :) Who know's where we'll go next ???? :eyes:

By the way here are some darters I started making:

Geesh Armand!

That Black one is a Beauty!...

Have any extras you wanna have field tested?...

Don I would let you use one, but It would endanger the fish population too much, D.E.M has asked me to keep them under wraps :bl: :bl:

By the way Don, Take a look at this cute little clear purple darter:

Armand,

We'll have to meet to talk possibilities...

Bliz

heres a little black swimmer I call blue eyes :) :wave:

Way cool.

That purple will slay in the spring when the calimari is around

Actually, calamari is squid prepared as food. I'm assuming you don't mean to throw the purple plug at the Union Station Brewpub...while they have great calamari, you might get removed before it arrives :bl:

-spence

Thanks Brian, I'm sure spence if you throw it at the waitress you'll get her attention.

Very nice work!! :bl:

Thanks, I'm working on a blue needle now. Takes some work but wow, do they come out beautiful.

ok guys Close your eyes :jump: :rotfl: here's the blue one and another green needle :)

Beautiful work RIP, all really nice but that black dahta, oh yeah.:D

Thanks very much, working hard to make them looks and swim good. Takes some polishing work. :bo:

Well here's the red completed with crimped poli-hair tail hook

very, very nice. almost too pretty to throw into the ocean with all the toothy critters in it. i'm curious how you polish off the sanding-grinding abrasions. you have a polished finish on them almost as though they were molded that way.

Well I use wet sanding in drop down from corse to fine grit. Then end up polishing on a Buffing wheel with Jeweler's rouge. :conf:
