try the phone book, there's a place not far from me that does fiberglass work (they make satellite dishes and storm shelters) and the owner sells resin to me for $18.75 a gallon and he carries all kinds of cloth. I like to go there cause he fills a jug out of the shop stock while you wait, so you know it's always fresh stuff! worth looking at anyway.

it spins a little fast, but the motor from an ice cream maker is tough as the dickens and you can spin a lot of baits with one. if you use a dimmer switch for the on/off switch, you can slow it down to suit yourself.

I know it's awhile till this event comes around(usually held early July) but I know these kids would treasure ANYTHING given to them. Each summer there is a week-long camp sponsored in part by the Oklahoma B.A.S.S. Federation for children from Oklahoma Children's Hospital. All are being treated for serious life threatening diseases, some terminal with no real hope of recovery. The final weekend of camp, bass fishermen from clubs all over the state come down to take out a counselor and 2 or3 children to fish for a few hours. I know these kids would love to get a little bit of hand made tackle as a "goody bag" , no matter what kind it was. Just thought I'd put this out there for consideration by all. The event is called Camp Cavett, and if the moderators would like more information on it, you can contact Gene Gilliland, senior fisheries biologist and club officer NOKC Bassmasters ggillokla@aol.com or by phone 405-321-8503 Thanks for your consideration, weighinalimit(Alan R.

AWESOME! You beat me out of the gate, I got an idea from this site www.wood-carver.com/gemini.html and was working on a similiar feed mechanism to spiral cut using a "dummy" as a pattern. the only thing I know right now is mine will defeat the max. dia. limitation yours has. will still have to load one blank at a time, but will be able to cut all the way to the nose of the bait (still have to have one flat end). I'm gonna use a router for cutting power, but mostly cause I have an extra one. I think cnc might be do-able on my machine pretty easy, just don't know enough at this point. Anyway, check out that duplicator and see if it doesn't lite up the old "hair covered computer".

ME TOO! ME TOO! pester, pester and pester some MORE! What would it take to get a set of the original plans from ya Jerry?

I used to have some, but I gave them to people I didn't like so they could get aggravated by them! Seriously, I hated the #@** things and I'd advise anyone to carefully consider if it's worth all the rollaids you'll need to carry.

What are you guys using to thin devcon for coating plaster molds and as a sealer on jigs & spinnerbaits? I saw somebody post something about thinning w/ alcohol, is that denatured alcohol or what are you using? Also I saw a post saying they used flexcoat to seal, does anybody know if they're using it as-mixed or thinned?
