Thanks Vodkaman. Yeah, I figured they'd be a no-brainer for rounding the corners, but have never seen them used. I knew there was a reason, just didn't know what it was. And yes, getting a drill press and also a bench vise. Also got my hands on a lead pot as well for melting ingots for ballast. As far as colors go, I'm not all that much of an artist, so that will certainly be something I'll practice on. Living in Texas, most of the water out here is stained. On a good day you'll get 3-5' of visibility on the lakes I fish. As far as colors go, I'm thinking most of my main colors would be the yellows, oranges, and greens. They seem to be more visible in the deeper waters. Contrast would mostly be black. I'll mess around and paint a few. They won't catch fisherman, but I don't think bass care all that much about that.

First off, I wanted to say thanks to all who make this site amazing. So much knowledge here. I have a family member selling off some tools, and I wanted to get an idea of some tools that I should be on the lookout for. I already called dibs on his belt sander and band saw, but I was also wondering if I should scoop up his router. I see people are always hand carving and sanding to round out their crankbaits and other wood baits, but I was wondering if a router bit would make this an easier task. I never see vids of anyone doing it that way, and I was wondering if there's a particular reason for it. Can I get y'all's opinions on that? Thanks guys !!
