rookiepourer Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 I have just started pouring my own worms and trailers. This has been a great site in which to obtain information. I have made two aluminum molds, one for drop shot worms and the other is jig trailers. I thought I would share some pics with everyone.

Mercury Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 They look pretty good from a picture. But how does the finished product look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haebar Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Jeez, that's impressive! How do you make those things? Do you have to use a machine shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropshot Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 rookiepourer, How did you make these molds and is it very time consuming. I have been wanting to make and/or purchase customs molds for some time now. Thanks Dropshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Splash Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Very nice work. How is this done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rookiepourer Posted August 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Hey guys thanks for all the feedback. I just got back from vacation. Yes these molds were made using a CNC machine. The dropshot mold took me about 4.5 hours to complete. the tail sections were all done with manual commands on the machine. That was the time consuming part. I work for an engineering company and made them when I had nothing to do and also when the boss was gone on vacation. I am not a machinest but know how to run our machine so these are a one time deal. Know I just have to learn to pour better but I guess practise makes perfect. thanks again for all the feedback and interest Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haebar Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 What's a CNC machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 CNC stands for Computer Numerically Controlled. In this case I would guess its a computer controlled type of metal cutting machine or lathe. Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
