earthworm77 Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Can you make some tripple dipped tubes that are about 4" long and very thick around....like a sausage(thicker than your thumb)? I know my question sounds stupid but I'm quite serious. Let me know please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubeman Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Yes, we do make them that big and soon to be BIGGER ! I uploaded a few pics on the soft plastics gallery this morning. Our next tube will be similar the musky tube that Lindy puts out. Just need to finish the dipping rods and take delivery of a 5 gallon cap. hot pot coming in a couple of weeks.

earthworm77 Posted December 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Mike where are those photos? I can't find 'em on your site or here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubeman Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 I uploaded them this morning, so I guess its in the hands of the site moderator. As for my site, I have to revamp the whole thing, so I dont have these pics posted there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big lou Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 I like the tubes you have. I am as always trying to cut my very own tube tails. I can make tubes with some old plastic, but I still have trouble cutting the tails. I too live in Ontario, and would love to get a hold of a tail cutting idea Or tool you may have. Please let me know if you can help. Big Lou.. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubeman Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Get yourself a small paint roller handle, some rotary cutting blades (olfa) and some small washers to space them. Thread the end of the paint roller, 3/8 " comes to mind for a die, then cut that thread about 1" down the rod. You will have to tack a washer just before the first bend of the roller rod to act as an anchor ( try a steel punch to put a divot in the rod so the washer cant get past it). Then alternately space a washer with a cutting blade until you have about 30 or so on there and add a lock nut to cap it off. A lock nut allows you to apply constant pressure so the blades stay aligned properly. I can make one for about 80-85 dollars my cost, but I wont have any time to make these for anyone else...sorry. Hope this helps...now get to work man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big lou Posted December 26, 2003 Report Share Posted December 26, 2003 I will give it a try I made some thing similar to that with smaller blades on a thin bolt. I will use the paint roller idea, may be allot easier to handle when cutting Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
