duck hunting
one day, with my old lab named Spooky (looked just like yours)
and i shot three ducks one afternoon and all of -em dropped
then just wounded swam under water and grabbed ahold of a reed
of thick grass to hide....and spooky comes back empty handed...
i was ripsheot...to say the least...
i pointed the shotgun at him and
said " you go get those ducks or i'll shoot ya..."
he knew exactly what i meant...
took him 30 minutes but he swam and
swam til he found all three ducks.

speaking of ideas
i've been collecting plug pic's so i have a frame of reference to
guide me through the process...and also because i'm addicted to art....
and have an insatiable thirst to manipulate photo's to my liking
as you probably have noticed lol i'm having way to much fun.

I would recommend starting off by purchasing a few kits from NJ tackle.You get everything you need. You do everything except turning and drilling. Some sandpaper, sealer, primer, paint and clearcoat and you'll
be catching fish on your plugs in no time. 
IMO, it's a better way to start out. Once you start buying power tools etc., the spending never ends

Bernzy is right on the spending thing....my first plug cost me about $4,000.00......now they each cost about $100.00! Trying the NJTackle kits might be good advice too.....big learning curve with making plugs....like anything else if you spend all the money and then find out it is not your cup of tea....you are stuck with all the expensive stuff! 
Listen to Bernzy...he what of he speaks!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

hey bernzy
quoting bernzy: Once you start buying power tools etc., the spending never ends... 
what do use for a sander.....after your plug is finished on the lathe.
i'm thinking about a stationary rotary sander for example...
any preferences for model and manufacturer? also a mini drill press.
i'm not going into buisness but want more plugs than i will ever need for trading...benefits, raffles,gifts ect.
and have almost everything else except a air brush and lots of paint... |

Bernzy - I thought about that but when I check there page they where sold out of alot of the kits. I'll keep checking back.
Probably a really good idea cause I only plan to build for me and a few close friends who take me fishing. |
