OK, serious question here...
Other than the obvious lathe, what equipment do you all think is essential to building plugs, more involved stuff than just needles...
(I like that belt sander arrangement, I'd even try to add a little jig so you can make facets on different angles of the plug body)...
Thanks...

Drill press and a lathe is really all you need John.
Have you been bitten by the plug bug?  |

A hand drill and bits also. Maybe a coping saw. Some kind of saw to cut to length. You can always use screw eyes instead of thru wiring as an option.

The other day I was thinking "If only the Dremmel had more tourqe, I could fabricate my own Plug Lathe...."
Down the road, I'll be adding some of the necessary tools for my other "Projects" around the house. Then I'll be in the game  - Thanks guys...

John, yesterday I saw something on the plug forum on SOL that turns a drill press into a vertical lathe. Pretty cool attachment. Now don't you need a drill press to finish the basement? the attachment is about 58 bucks

I would also add a "Turning Wheel" for drying the paint on the lures. Unfortunately, nobody makes or sells them, but there pretty easy to build at home.
Here's a photo so you know what I mean.
It looks massive, but it's actually a very cheap item to build and it will seriously improve your finishes.

JOHN R, A plugs a plug. it could be a needle ,swimmer , popper or what ever. It still has to be turned , drilled ,sanded ,water proofed ,painted and put together. LATHE, DRILL PRESS , SANDER,DUST COLLECTOR, the more tools the easyer the building becomes. also depends on how many you want to make.

Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

Table saw is good for ripping wood into blanks. Band saw for cutting slots for lips on swimmers or angles on a darter. Plus the other stuff that was mentioned. It just never stops

Yo Stars! Is wood shop next semester? Or has it been gutted from the school budget? This is what turns up after a search on the word LATHE when the  button is used...
Clammer, somehow, this thread resurfaced recently as I started it last year after the Plug Party over at Slips house. I was very impressed with the way things were done (and I still am). But I'll be doing something to a boat before I get a chance to make plugs.... |
