I wish you hadn't shown that. I've resisted making a router table for 20 years, now I feel like I need one

No Eddy i have two wooden dowels sticking out and mount the lure on them(belly holes).I will take more pics when i get home later.Takes about 20 seconds to do both sides.When i made the pattern i double sided taped two pieces of oak and then marked the wood for the cut then separated the pieces giving me exact copies flip one and you get a mirror image of the other.The hard part was the spacing before i would commit to screwing it together i used crazy glue to hold the pattern for the first side as i tested it to get the desired depth once i got it i predrilled and screwed it tight then did the same for the other side.

And looking at your extension cord set up I wonder why you're still alive. Stay away from toaster ovens is all I can say.

Good mornin' all. I got so much in the works I'm getting dizzy. Only a month to finish it........gonna be ugly. Nothing is past the primer stage and most haven't even seen sealer yet.

Winter ain't long enough these days.
