Rookie finally getting the hang of it.

Thanks for all the nice comments-- The painting was done with your
Rustoleum rattle cans and for the 2nd coat after a prior dunking in the
same white 1st coat. The only time I used the air brush was with
the netting to get scale patterns on the mullet lures.
A long time ago when I graduated to windows I used AOL and had
a screen name called Nipideddee because the correct spelling was taken.
I caught a lot of bass on those old lures and it is still a
good top water go to bait One of the duds was the tail hook set up
as mentioned on the forum and thanks for the suggestions as it now works good
and the other one was a swimmer that is really a mess.
The mullet run has started on the East Coast in Florida but the seas need some calming
as its full of sea weed and blowing. Hoping for calm weather this week.
I use a small Grizzly lathe that was somewhat over priced but gets the job done.
I bought my lathe turning tools at Harbor freight and a nice set of forstner bits from sears.
I think the forstner bits are something you need of quality and sharp.
One little tid bit you might find of interest is a cheap long 1/8
drill bit.
I wanted a long one and found a set of three sizes at Harbor
freight for a couple bucks and the best I can remember they are 24
inches long. Cit the 1/8 to the length I wanted and it works fine.
