Cut up most of my stock at work this week so I'll be turning starting today.

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.

just got an airbrush as well, now to start to set up the basement for finishing plugs. Still no lathe yet, but baby steps.

60 % of the time, it works every time.

I do well with eel like productions like that... love the color!

A good run is better than a bad stand!

After somewhat mastering Nikes of various sizes, I had this crazy idea of building a soft-tail Nike for musky fishing..........off to the "Lureboratory" I go.......

My wife and I bought a house last year so I wasn't able to do any plugs due to lack of space (wasn't allowed in the basement). I bought a nice 10x14 shed and ran electric from the house. I just quartered a bunch of WRC 4x4's for 3 different pencils sizes.

I'm really looking forward to building again. I got some great advice and help from a couple of the members in the past so I'm happy to be back at it to share some of my stuff.
