Just curious about building time.
I've been making just lathe turned plugs for the past couple of batches (I'm a freshwater fisherman so usually make a lit if jerk bait/gliders). I know I build slow, I'm pretty anal as I get really frustrated when things don't work out at the end of a build and I feel like I rushed, or skipped a step (still learning a lot about building) How long does it take you all to turn, and prep lets say a dozen swimmers? For example:
Yesterday I turned a dozen swimmer blanks, using my redneck, homemade duplicator. Cut the lips, sanded, drilled the eyes, sanded, drilled the hook holders/through wire (some will be through wire, some screw eyed), cut and shaped he ends, sanded, sealed, wiped down and hung to dry. Now they have dried over night. ready for first clear coat and primer then a test dip.
Pretty much took me all day. Does that seem like an exceptionally long time? I still consider myself wet behind the ears, especially with the lathe and plugs.
Thanks guys
MS
