Fern Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 Saw an old video here from an old user “bojon” regarding his tail cutter. With the little information I was able to acquire I think I did a decent job replicating the basic function of it. While I do own the block tail cutter that lurecraft (I think) sells. I sort of prefer the ease of this one which does not involve a good hammering. Pretty easy to make although I think I’m going to add a few more blades to widen it a bit more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Young Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Nice job. I just got through rigging one of my tubes up for the tournament tomorrow night. That is if the weather doesn't screw those plans up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I sure hope I'm wrong on this one and please someone chime in if I am, but I believe bojon is one of our members who has passed away? This site was established in 1998 and we've sadly had a few losses. If so, bojon was brilliant in this field and a solid mentor. Beautiful tubes, btw!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlaw4 Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 what are the blades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted July 15, 2023 Report Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Are these the carpet cutter blades? I have the beefed up press that i made that uses the luercraft block but that looks pretty good too.

Rotary cutter blades. They work pretty good for this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
