Mornin all. finish dip priming all the fleet this week. Started painting alittle. Might put together a booth. I have a ton to paint. I did swirl a atom jr and BM spin atom. Spary paint and a plastic glove plug rolled thru my hand. saran wrap also worked. Key was to have paint that doesn't set up instantly. I base spray gloss enamel ivory white, spray desired color then pull plug thru gloved hand. For the wrap method, spray paint , wrap and quickly remove plaaticwrap.

nice Fred. I like them.
Lawrence it looks like you got the heat going in your cave, No?

Nice job on those pencils Frank. I am now making 4 sizes of those things right down to a cute little one. It is my favorite canal plug and has been since Brad made them. In mine I weight the crap out of them and really just for the canal as they are really too heavy for non current applications. You got a good mentor.

Been messing with old school hook hangers,,cotter pins ,, Flaptail quest got me interrested .. made some predators,, and 3 differant flaptails going now.. I expect it to be slow this winter ,, so thinking more time in the future .. Sux cutting that goofy beetlejuice face on plugs .. Just winging it ,, Made a 2 belly hook plug that ended up a single hook after back and forth on the beltsander trying to get face even ..

Hi Eddie!
From an Eastern Cedar in my front yard. From the top of it you can see P-town and beyond to Wood End and Race Point. Look the other way and you can see Head of the Meadow and Coast Guard. Look South and you can see Pamet and beyond. Not that I was ever in the top of that tree...
