diemai Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Presently I am set on short time work every second week due to the economical crisis , so plenty of time for luremaking . I am presently working on a bunch of stainless steel spoons , that I am making for personal use and for a lure swap . Also have already shaped some creepers and crawlers(also for a lure swap)and some lathe-turned crankbaits and gliders , that I need to proceed with . greetz , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbduc Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I have 14 baits right now waiting for paint. Mostly crank baits and a handful of gliders that are still in test mode. I usually wait for the wife and kids to go to bed then head to the shop or fill the tub up for some float/swim tests. Still waiting for the final hook-up on a heater I installed in December, so unless the temps naturally rise to the point that I can paint, I just keep building baits. Cheers.

StoneCoal Tackle Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 .......dust...............lots of dust. Too much real life and not enough free time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooksLikeSinbad Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I don't even have a work bench! I work in the laundry room, so I have to move the detergent and dryer sheets to get any room to work. Oh and I hang my lures to dry on the rack we hang clothes on - LOL! But I do have a half-finished photo-finish lipless crank laying around here somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick20xd Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 For me: its 4 custom crankbaits to be sold at the United Way Charity Auction. Last year 4 cranks brought $65 for the cause. Hey Haz- Like your joint spacers on the swimbait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL Rods Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I have about 10 of my new splash top waters in progress along with 6 more propbaits, 2 new balsa baits I am working on, a bunch that are half painted and some other balsa I just cut out. I am thinking of/am trying balsa only for a while but I am just not fond of it as you really need to use through wire methods, it dents too easily if you drop it and about the only redeeming quality is how boyant and twitchy it is. And for all the topwater and prop stuff I seem to be getting into I have to check it out to see if I can find that repeatable factor that I have with basswood at the same amount or less of effort to make them. Man isn't prototyping a pain in a small work area and without all the fancy tools! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Twelve 7" 4 piece swimbaits. They're shaped, drilled, 4 floaters are hinged and ready for paint. The other eight are four slow sink, four fast sink, and I hope to get to them next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayupnorth36 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Aside from trying to ice fish as much as possible, I've been roughing out some blanks on the lathe to make some BullDawg knockoffs, kinda like those "TwisterJerks" in another post. But I came up with them FIRST (sorry, couldn't resist ) Also trying to make a whole ton of big musky bucktail spinners. Some of my friends convinced me to make an online catalogue and sell them online, so I've also got the whole legal gauntlet to run through. And preparing for a musky tourney in early June, so... build build build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Well, lessee, a couple of Tapp repaints, some tiny foiled shallow divers, several new foil shad shaped cranks, a gold foil plastic crank I'm planning to take to Canada this spring, all being painted. Oh yeah, and a new Foredom flex shaft tool for shaping crankbait bodies. Plus misc lures I plan to use tomorrow since the weather forecast is 65 degrees!

Vodkaman Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) Way too much is the answer. Starting top left, receipts “in box”, Psion ser5 calculator, CAD discs, outstanding tax paper work under torch (electricity often fails here), also on paper work, test specimens for PoP air dryer (thread needs writing), another Psion calculator, head set for Yahoo, under head set is a resin release agent test piece (looks like a round disc) and an external hard drive. Front right, laptop, digital thermometer, failed swimbait project (to be re-visited), another calculator, various electronic bits (for duplicator project), couple of trash DVD films (looking at the material for something, don’t know what yet), vernier, bearings, motors, bicycle parts (for dup m/c) and two digital scales. I know, not as tidy as some of you expected, but highly organized. This work station is located in my bedroom, (no resident ladies to accommodate). prototype bench picture by folicallychalled - Photobucket (link to full size pic) Dave Edited February 25, 2009 by Vodkaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All primed and ready for color. 9 spinnerbait heads and 60 freshly cast poison tail jigheads which need to be prepped for powder coating.
