I like it... nice work. This hobby should keep you plenty busy between stocking the tackle box and fishing.

Cut it out of a block of wood with a scroll saw. Then sanded it down to get the shape

I have somethings to get from LPO and will look at what they have. Took a look at the rest of your work. Really nice looking baits/fly's Fshng.

All are GREAT entries...Hope to do better next year! Congrats to winners EXCELLENT work!

Just brainstorming, but could you melt some wax, then dip the prop sections in it? Then when all done, including clear coat, you could pull of most, and melt the rest off? My only worry would be compatibility with the clearcoat. another option would be soaking in a boiled linseed oil mixture like the stripper surf plug folks do... craig

The advantage was the capacity that it holds and to still be able to run it off a 110v circut. The disadvantage is the horrible quality

Bob, I am torn between building my own electric oven or purchasing a small electric household oven. I love the size of the eastwood but i am so tired of the crappy quality of this product

Congratulations to the winners.......and all participants. The talent here is OFF. THE. CHARTS!!

I use .22 cal short rifle shells to make my rattles. I use a small bolt to slightly expand one shell, place one BB in that shell, and then place another shell into the first shell. I then drill a hole cross-wise into my bait while the bait is still flat, place my rattle in the hole, and epoxy the rattle into place. Gene

I'd do mine of 8mm dia. brass tubing like this : For smaller baits I'd use jig rattles of plastic , ..otherwise I'm with Mark , crosswise mounted rattle chambers are more effective than lengthwise ones . Not shown in the clip , ...prior to priming the lure blank I would fill up the rattle holes either with polyester putty(the kind used for cars)or a homemade putty consisting of epoxy glue thickened with fine sawdust .
