Wow Montauk.....that is flattering and very humbling. Thank you. As I have said many times before I was inspired by all of the talented builders I found in this forum when I first became a member! I was just floored by the incredible plugs I was seeing folks turn out in their home shops. Guys like Mac, Tagger, Slipknot, Bassmaster, Capesams, Jigman, and so many others and seeing guys like Habs and Tattoo and #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&......just amazing work.....how could I not want to try it? I owe a great debt to their help....they were all so forthcoming with answers to my many questions. My biggest inspirations I must say have been Bernzy and Ryan Smith as I am just a huge fan of their meticulous paint work and I continue to aspire to it. Their use of an airbrush and their results speak for themselves. I saw your jointed pikies last night and I must say you are off to a great start! If there is any way I can help please ask and keep up the great work!

As far as turning itself......I always seem to go back to the great shapes and styles turned out by guys like Danny Pichney, Stan Gibbs and Bob Pond! Just made a few A-40's and they came out great! I think Mr. Pond would be pleased!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
