Volp1 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Coley, While your in tutorial mode(which have been great!) could you do one on the way to round over the corners of a crankbait so they are exact? I'm still learning and have been doing it with a carving knife and sandpaper, but am looking into maybe a router (although thats a little scary with such a thin bait) so they a re perfect. Thanks.

Coley Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 I do it just like you do it, a carving knife and sandpaper. I also have a piece of sandpaper glued to the inside radius of a slice of aluminum tubing. Lincoya, taught me how to round a piece of wood with a carving knife. Tell you what, I will make a sketch of how to carve a radius and post it here later on. Coley Carving a square to a round. In photo 1 you carve off A & C until A, B & C are equal. In photo 2 you carve off A, B, C & D until 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 are equal. Just keep carving off the points and keep all the flats equal and as you see in photo 2, it takes on a round shape. Thanks, to Lincoya for teaching me this. Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckarren Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Nice work Conley!!! I don?t think it would standup with a 50? musky hitting it trolling at 4 MPH. That is what I am looking at in my baits. I think I might have to go one step and make it a through wire bait. Very informative pieces of work, clever move on gluing the template on the Lexan.
