Cliffs Lures Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Here is my version of helping hand tool for holding lures for painting. The bearing holds the pin vise and lets you turn it freely while painting, The pvc is not glued so you can move it to different positions. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyP Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 That looks pretty cool. I have a few extra bearings I scavenged for a rotisserie, might have to try this out . Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffs Lures Posted April 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Thanks. It works pretty good for me. The bearings are 8mm skate board bearings. I heated up the 1/2 PVC T and the popped right in. The Xacto type knife is excel brand with 2 slots. Had to sand the logo down a little so it slides in and out easily. I also used 5/16 rod with alligator clip to hold onto bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuredBaitz Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Did you actually build this yourself? Any place where this can be bought? Looks super handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffs Lures Posted April 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 I built it myself, This one is a Corian base. Just 1/2" PVC pipe and 8mm x 22mm skateboard bearings. The shaft is glued into the base but the T and 90 are left unglued so you can turn it to any position while you paint. The T has been cut off on two ends so the bearings seat into the T Also heated the t just enough to get bearings to pop into it. The Excell brand knife holder has to be sanded just a little on the knurling so it slides into bearings. Only took a couple of hours to make them. I like the way it works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
