Richard Prager Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Nice job! I suggest that you put away $10.00 every time you order more stuff. Rehab is expensive these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdooradvantage Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Those look very nice, good job............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabskie Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Thanks guys,,,,I know they are a little rough lookin,,,but for the first attempt at plastic's ,,,you gotta start somewhere,,,and bojon's kit and instructions made it pretty easy,,,I have to get the LC #500 plastic that he recommened,,,that would make a difference in the final product,,,Also I want to thank the rest of TU ,,,for all the threads I read,,,and reread because heating and mixing with the Microwave wasn't even a problem,,,and yes I will remember to write down every drop of color and flake,,,hopefully I will be able to contribute in the future. dabskie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloomisman Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 what kind of kit are you talking about from Bojon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWO Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Very nice! I bet you can't make just one. I went through my first gallon of plastic much quicker than I thought I would. It's a fun hobby for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squigster Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 what kind of kit are you talking about from Bojon Bojon sells a kit that includes one or two dipping rods, a tube tail cutter a pan and some instructions. I think it was around $50. Someone else here should know the exact price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabskie Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 bojon's kit was $48.00,,,,I checked for parts to try and make my own,,,It was less expensive to buy bojon's,,,,Pic included,,, dabskie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any info. would be much appreciated, thank you. Hey Bassman,,,bojon is a TU member,,I imagine you can get in touch with him through This Site and PM him,,you can find him in the members section and he's online quite often,,,I don't think it would be proper for me to give out his e-mail address. I made some more today,,,,they are getting alot better looking,,, dabskie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-Reel Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hey Bojon, A while back I was looking at the video you had on dipping tubes horizontaly, very cool by the way, but I was interested in the multi blade rotory tool you used to cut the tail. I have looked at all the craft and fabric stores we have here in in Rapid City SD and I cannot find anything but single blades, can you help me out ?? hope so, that tool looks like the real deal for cutting tubes. May be you sell the cutter ? I have everything but the cutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojon Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yes I do sell the cutter.I have made ten,that I was saving for after the E-book came out.The book has a movie about how to assemble a cutter.The book is close to being done(sorry I have taken so long),I keep wanting to add to it,but it is finished,and being formatted.Private message me,for more info.
