diemai Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hi , folks , After having had to go through some troubles , I am now finally able to upload my tutorial in here .

Due to that problem the picture resolution had to be minored , but I think , it is still manageable this way ,.......if you need the original pictures , send a PM to me containing your private Email adress , and I'll mail you the original file from my computer . My gratitudes also go to Pete for having led me on the right way for this tut:worship: . If there are any further questions , feel free to contact me ! greetz , diemai Shortenend TU tutorial.pdf Shortenend TU tutorial.pdf Shortenend TU tutorial.pdf Shortenend TU tutorial.pdf Shortenend TU tutorial.pdf Shortenend TU tutorial.pdf Shortenend TU tutorial.pdf Shortenend TU tutorial.pdf Shortenend TU tutorial.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA Delta Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Dieter, you are simply amazing, my friend. That is so ingenious, creative, clever, the list goes on. Great now I have to try & fabricate a hinge now. I realize how much time & effort was put into this tutorial & I'm grateful. Thank you so much for sharing your findings & I can't wait to see whats next. Take care. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlaze Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hey dieter, glad to see that you finally got this thing posted. I have been playing with the hinge pins and havn't gotten one to flare successfully yet without deforming. So I guess I am going to have to make the jig like you did. this is a really good and very detailed tutorial. It is easy to understand. Thanks for your hard work that went into making it.

diemai Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Have been weighting my lures equipped with these hinges yesterday and I must say , that I had a tough time doing that . These hinges do add quite a bit of weight to the rear of the lures , and I had failed to use the possibly most buoyant material for them . So for future hinged lures I would only use abachewood , also PVC should be sufficiently buoyant ........also keep the lures a bit more voluminous , if possible . Don't have experience with PVC baits , but I have seen on pictures and vids the loads of lead placed into their bellies , so it should be OK . greetz , diemai:yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diemai Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 ATTENTION ! I am very sorry and also embarassed to hereby announce , that the above described CLOSED HINGE construction does not work out the way , that I have thought it would:( ! As I was going to finally assemble the sections today and tried to bend close the top lid of the CLOSED HINGE sleeve , its kink became too much weakened , so that it probably would fall off later , when fishing the lure:( ! So I decided to break off both lids , file smooth/carefully break inner edges of sleeves and utilize the OPEN HINGE method assembling the flanged tubing pin ! I am very sorry , if I should have caused any inconvinience to anybody , probably I should have waited publishing my tutorial until I would have been entirely done with this new design(for me) to gain those final experiences ! I much apologize:worship: , ....greetz , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 No need for apology, we are sharing your learning experience. You did the correct thing by reporting back, that is enough. Have you considered annealing the metal before assembly, to make the final forming process a little easier? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny P Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hey thats why we are all on this site to share and learn from each other maybe there was a flaw in your desighn but thats ok you will fix but the basic idea is there i actually learned alot from alll you guys on here you all put alot of effort into this hobby.

diemai Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 @ Vodkaman Do you think about annealing the pins or the SSt sheets , or both ? I do not find it neccessary , don't even know , whether it would work out with brass . The hinge parts are not that hard to shape , and I do not think , that annealing would have prevented the above described issue about the lid breaking off , anyway ! It just happened faster , as I thought , because the steel sheet is that thin ,.......any metal would brake sooner or later , if you bent it back and forth at the same spot , only some do faster than others , depending on material and thickness.........and this is just too thin , just underestimated it ! greetz , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Both stainless steel and brass, work harden and become brittle when working. I remember my foreman freaking out when i took a chunk of 1/4" thick stainless to the grinding wheel, I was making a bowie knife. He jerked me away from the machine and switched it off. Only a stub remained of the wheel and I was surrounded by a thick layer of gritty dust. Aparently, it could have exploded at any second. You will have to do a google to find out the annealing methods, as I cannot remember, it has been a long time since college. Annealing relieves all the stress, something to do with molecules or vortices, can't remember which. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
