  1. Great idea on the steel ruler to check for errors, I have never been able to get this cut remotely square and this is a big step for me. Thanks everyone for the tips and the walk through to getting this done. Dan
  2. Ok, Please take a look at the cut and give my your thoughts. It looks fairly even to me. By the way, this is not the angle I want but was just testing the cut.
  3. Hi, My saw has lots of adjustments, it's new and I'm not sure what I am doing. I will re-read the manual start with the square. Thanks for the help guys. It's a real problem for me to get the lip slot cut straight, I have tried to get this right for a while. Dan
  4. All, I am working with a 1/2" thick wood lure and attempting to cut a lip slot with my 9" band saw. The issue is I can't get the band saw table level, even with a bulls eye level it is off on one side of the blade.The adjustment are not very precise, I keep going back and forth. When I make the cut and then look at the lip slot from the belly of the lure I can see it is slighter lower on one corner, otherwise it looks pretty good How critical is it for this cut to be dead level? I am thinking about building a "Sled" with a leveler in each corner in an attempt to make this cut. It would be a wooden section with screws on each corner and a clamp of some sort to hold the bait. I would run it along the fence in an attempt to keep things square. Any thoughts?
  5. Reel, Those lures are great, thanks for posting. I was giving up on createx regular but you make me want to try it again.
  6. Wow, I wish that was what my first ones looked like, what kind of paint are you using? Dan
  7. Hi Guys, Do you think I can get good results with regular Createx paint and a Paasche single action or should I try another type / brand ? I am thinking of buying a double action air brush but the choices are huge. I am searching the forums but it is a ton of information. Any thoughts would be great. Dan
  8. Hi All, I am using a Paasche single action H and Createx water based paint and can't seem to get it looking good. I have this hooked to a small Grizzly compressor set at about 45 PSI My paint looks spotty and spattered and I'm not sure how to correct this, any thought would be great. Dan
  9. Dave, I would like to make many and attempt to keep them the same, I am using a disk sander and using the pre drilled eye holes as a reference, I am trying to come up with a jig but I thought this may have been worked out already. Maybe I should stop at this point and work some from flat stock, that may be much better. Thanks for your thoughts everyone. Dan
  10. Hello, I am attempting to sand flat sides on my round lure body after it comes off of the lathe, I get the first side looking great but can not get the second side to match up. Anyone have a trick for this? I'm just not good enough free hand. Thanks Dan
  11. JP, Please understand that I only choose that photo because it was the best, hope I did not offend you. Thank you for the comments, it seems like a bit of work but the outcome is outstanding. Dan
  12. Found this great photo online, this is what I am asking about.
