This "Is" The Place!

turning several sizes of darter's so I can get on to the fun part of doing the angles and then on to ruining them in the sealer and then watching them swim upside down as I test them out. I basically will be doing all my turning in the next week or 2 for everything I will be making this winter. Got all the stock cut and ready to go for everything. Of course there will be some short runs of stuff that I forgot but after 2 weeks or so I am pretty much done with turning for the winter. Then on to the other more time consuming aspects.

I'm still waiting for my shipment of wood to come in. I have some leftover from last year, and a boatload of red cedar blanks ready to go, but was kind of hoping to get everything done at once. But I'd say my biggest challenge is cleaning up my workspace. I've got a maybe 20' x 12' area to use for my shop, tool storage (I'm a GC and have a lot of stuff!), and family storage, so organizing and making room is becoming increasingly difficult. Maybe I'll post some pictures of the nightmare....I wish I had the money to rent a space.

Still trying to get fishscale right with the airbrush. How do people do it.
Flap found that nice copper netting. I've tried bridal veil and larger wash bags, never turns out nice?

Lower pressure?

Striperman anytime you want to come by for a tutorial lets do it.....glad to help! What size Tulle' are you using?? Bigger is sometimes better....sometimes! I use a few different sizes! Key is to go light with the spray as you do not want it to fill up the holes and tack onto the cloth! I do a light spray on both sides (you get good at knowing how heavy to spray after awhile) then I let it set for only a minute or so before I remove the Tulle'! Mind you some use a jig (box) where you lift the plug into the netting, spray and remove where as I clip my netting on so I get the effect I want! Many different ways to do a good job and everyone has their method that works for them!

To say this on a Sunday is blasphemous.

Well, it only took 18 months, but I promised Benny Raw I'd build him a Masterlure popper..........getting closer.

(the perspective is weird, they're the same size but I moved the front hook back a shade to try and reduce fouling.....as Masterlure did on a later version). The original had a alongside the wire weight in a 1/4" hole that could and does slide anywhere from the tail to the front hook, so weighting will be a guess. Will start out in the tail and go from there.
