TWIN MINNOW

Best looking Twin-min I've ever seen John! I've bid on a lot of Twin-min beaters on eBay but have never gotten one. I would like to carve my own bodies and mount on that wild hardware. Also I've always wondered if they actually swam well?

Nice work.

Hi Daymon, I have 5 in my collection in decent shape,far from perfect & I think 2 more in need of repainting.. Ive made that carriage before too, its not too difficult..Just cut it out on the scroll saw.. I got a sweet cup shaped bend in the diving lip by sandwiching the lip between a wood block dished out & a wood ball I bought at the craft store..Worked perfect as the brass bends so easily.. If you get one to restore or want to clean it up: be careful,they have a really cheap nickle plated coating that buffs down to the brass real quick..Thats why this one is brass as the nickle came off like nothin--but I kinda like the buffed brass look better than the nickle.. Thanks,,

John
