What is in the top right of the first pic, by the towel. I like the blade on the 6th pic. They will catch fish and I think you did a good job.

This thread reminds me of my brother inlaw. He heats his lunch behind his radiator on his truck. He made a wire rack on the back of the radiator. Wraps his lunch in tinfoil puts it in always has a hot lunch. Dry your mold on your way to work.

Are you curing your jigs before hand. Use a hot drill bit in the hole. The back of the drill bit melt the paint out. Or use a dremel it moves fast and wont crack the paint. I have never had luck curing with then in. I have heard of tin foil before.

If I look back It has taken me about 1 to 3 hours using a drill press and dremel per jig. depending on how much detail I want. I do start different than thill I place the hook in the mold first and hit it with a hammer. leaves an outline of the hook and cut from there. If I made just a round head I would dremel out the hook slot. drill a hole with the drill press. Round it out with the dremel. If that is all you want that might take 20 to 30 min.

Cutting A mold is not as hard as you think with the right tools. I have cut a couple do-it blank molds making some thing unavailable. It takes time but a model bait takes time to and then there is cost involved and time when others do the work for you. For me this is a uncontrollable hobby. I spend countless money on it. Now if it was a business and I sell jigs I would pay others to do what they are good at. Part of making a mold is knowing I made it from the start. My own Invention. With exception to the hook at least I can pick the hook.

That fan line on the microwave is a good idea. I like the setup. Gives me a few more ideas being new to pouring plastics. Do you still use a respirator?

I dont know if you want to make them but if you take a coat hanger straighten it and put it in a drill. Take any wire say stanless easy if it around .026 wire. stick it in the drill to and tighten it down. Use a peace of cardbord to protect your fingers. Start the drill rapping the wire around the coat hanger. After you make a long section cut it in small peaces. Now to make it easyer for tying coat it with epoxy. I have used them quit a bit but if you dont want to epoxy just use a little tape.

Got a storm tonight my wife went to the store at 2:00 and started home at 3:00 and the storm hit crippling the roads. only 25 minutes away and just got home from the highway parking lot at 9:50. almost 7 hours. She is sick of the snow now!!!!!!!!!!!!! There was alot of pile ups and roll overs road closers. High winds and snow drifts. Even the sheriffs are on snowmobiles. School buses parked at the churches. Kids still not home. Every one is pulling together local school has 170 kid sleeping over.

oops you said skirts. Im old school still use collers.

I still use a vise and thread. But I have used wire and smalliehunter is correct. I'ts alot easier to do by hand, no tools after tying just wiggle the wire till it brakes.
-
Forgot griffin vise I have used griffin alot and love the quality. Had there spider vise and liked it so I up graded to the montana mongoose a year or so ago with no regrets. Not trying to change your mind danvse is a good vise. Just had alot of luck with griffin and some of there tools. They offer alot of after market tools for your vise to. I apologize got me all excited about my toys. Ill stop now.

Maybe fencing stain or deck sealer in white. Just another idea, uv protection to. But I like your thinking about cutting another step out.

I remember those days. Moving along well. keep posting, every time you post it brings back the fun I had. Its not work if its fun. -
I like mine to. Im glad they made that mold, less time modifying and more pouring.
-
I have used a high speed dremel. I think it cuts to fast for wandering to happen at 30,000 rpms. The bit gets hot fast a little at a time works best.
-
I still have a burn on my bench from that. I am laughing and remembering that day right now. all the memories.....
-
