May be in the future. I still have plenty to learn on making these. Wouldn't want to post a how too and provide bad info. The basics, as I do them are:
1) draw your pattern on the wood
2) cut out the shape on the bandsaw, including lip slot
3) drill screw eyes and weight holes (be sure they are EXACTLY centered)
4) knock off the edges with a beltsander
5) sand to shape by hand
6) cut lip out of lexan and sand to final shape
7) tank test to determine the amount of weight needed (right behind the hook in this case. Plug sits flat in the water with about 1/4 of the back showing
8) make any adjustments that are needed
9) test cast to make sure it swims right, and make adjustments if needed
10) let dry out then seal, prime, paint, clear coat as usual.
