hi mark yes i carved it from a slat of a pallet with a stanley knife and sand paper great recycling lol i have given it 2 coats of clear laquer car spray but the shine isnt as deep as epoxy, i am going to epoxy it but thought i would post as it is as i tried epoxy on a third one and got fish eyes in the layer, i been told i need to make a drying wheel to get the layer even so going to make one next -
hi diemai i have since i made these bought thinner perspex and got some thin upvc,aluminium and stainless sheet to try in future lips, they have had 2 coats of clear laquer but i think i will coat them in epoxy too as the shine does not look as deep as others ive seen on here, thanks to all on this site ive learnt a lot from you all -
these are my first attempts (actuaully made about 30 various shapes now but these are first painted) they are about 3 inch long, i dont know what wood as i carved them from a pallet slat that looked like hardwood in work (boring shift lol) they have good action through wire construction and 1/8oz egg as weight sorry bout the photo any comments appreciated -

think im gonna give up now that is so realistic i am sure its moving -
i love the lip shapes on these , they look very effective -
instead of the closure and loop what about a smaller plastic bead with one side sanded down flat, should be possible to hold the bead down with a piece of wire trough the hole and use a dremmil (hobby drill) with sanding bit i use beads down to 2-3mm tying flys... just a thought keep up the good work, may try one of these myself when i get chance

they look nice, i bet the noise is a good attraction .. how about a D shaped piece of perspex/lexian drilled through edgewise instead of the loop?
