Is this the Place?

I heat set all my paints, different strokes for different folks.

Alot of people do Paul. I have just never felt the need. My bonding is great even after hook rash sets in and they get beat there is no paint failure/lifting. Just trying to let folks know it may be a wasted step. Different strokes for different folks.

Thanks for the delivery Paul! Hope CS is well? Hey...can you say a prayer for all of us sicko's??

Paul, did you see the picture recently posted someplace with 2 of Stan's weights and a popper, that showed it pretty well. Looked like 45 degrees, and the shoulder was more than a 1/16". I figured you say that, guess I should have saved it. Doesn't Peter have some?
I should be home till noon, so call my cell

Paul, I bumped up the prototype thread, there is a pic of the weight there
not sure if it needs to be quite that big of a shoulder but you get the idea

I have your counter here

Last year I made a lot of pencils and gave a lot a way, it really does turn it into work. I've been scaling everything back a lot this year, justy doing 1/2 a dozen of a type at a time..

George sent me the dimensions for the big 7.5" donny swimmer last week so that was this weeks project for me. I took one for a swim this morning and I liked it a lot. I have some bass wood an dwhite cedar so I may try a floating one from those woods and see what they do.

Does anyone know what lip the 6" maple version uses?

I'm still messing with a larger darter. I tested these 2 yesterday and ended up extending the slopes a little further when I got home and resealing them, so I need to test these 2 again..

I was going to post a picture but forgot to attach it. Here's the big donny's I was working on. BF those look great! I havent started messing with those yet although they are still on the list for this year..

Here is the Floyd Roman Nike Jr. I have been working on! As you know Paul gave me one of his blanks (pictured in primer) which he copied from an original so I hand turned mine and it came out perfect I think! The curves on these plugs are super sexy! Paul likes the "old school" look of his belly grommets tight to the body (which I love too) but I could not resist setting my grommets into the body for a sleek look! I will seal this plug, prime and I am debating color choice but am leaning towards my bunker pattern! I think this pattern lends itself well to the swooping shape of the body! Of course I am going to have to turn some more! Also will be turning some smaller versions of the Nike shortly! Thanks again Paul!
