Depends on what I find for paint on hand.....Might try one marbelized. Need to clean up the tree tops where I come just short of parting completely. |

hardcore from the shore: Man, those pics brought back memories of my grandfather in his woodshop. He retired as a mason and began making furniture in his garage, must have 15 pieces in my house! thanks for posting.
Nightfighter, cool idea on the christmas tree and lights, gonna have to try that!
Muskyslayer96, My friend gave me one of those little rotessiri ovens little bigger than a breadbox. I plan to try to convert it to a spinner or just salvage the engine to build one. Thanks for posting, gives me some ideas. Should be a good project this winter and I am getting sick of spinning those plugs by hand for hours.
Last winter was my 1st year building plugs, I learned a ton from all of you and from trial and error (mostly error, HA!). This fall I ran into a big run of needlefish, but had not made anything to match. I picked up a store bought needle and superstrike 1 3/4 oz. I hope to spend time trying to make some imatations that sink or suspend with weighting right and proper hook placement. The needlefish I encountered were about 7" long and fairly skinny, so curious how I will get the through hole lined up well and have enough space to place weights. Should be interesting.

This was the first one. lots of room for improvement. Going to try using a recip saw blade for better depth of branch definition. Left it rough at bottom of branches by choice.

I just got an airbrush and I'm still learning to use it. My brother does sheet metal work and made me a nice spray booth that I'm rigging up some duct work for. I'm also in the process of building a turner for once I epoxy them. I have a bunch of plugs turned and ready for paint but here's the first batch using the airbrush I still have to paint some mackerel patterns on some of them.
Awesome video of your shop musky. 
I'm having trouble posting pics.  |
