raymayor Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 That is an excellent presentation rock and a really nice muskie. Any ideas where I can get my hands on some relatively inexpensive aluminum stock? I am in northern MN. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

diemai Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 @ rock Great tutorial , thanks a lot ! Being a metal worker , I have made some football jighead molds just the same way , that you have described . But instead of modelling clay I have utilized beeswax for checking the proceedial of the cavities . But the trick with the pencil and steelwool is new to me , thanks a lot again ! PS : Nice musky you've got there , that's what all the tinkering is about:yes: ! greetz:yay: , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Greg, I bought my aluminum from Metal Express. Follow this link:Metal Express - Catalog - Category List - Aluminum They have a plant close to me in Waukesha, so I was able to go pick up my order. They will ship to you and the price was very reasonable. My blanks were 2" x 6" x 5/8" thick. Good luck! Rock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
