CrawChuck Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I'm wondering what this Dupli-k8r thing is and why it's locked and asked to pay to see it? My curiosity is killing me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi Craw, The Dupli-k8r is a set of plans for a jig I designed to help me duplicate my handcarved baits. I worked on the jig extensively about 3 years ago & it worked well enough. but needed refinement to be a safe & efficient machine. Last year I fiddled with it more & added another gearmotor to make it hands-free, other than loading & unloading the machine. Ive wanted to work more on the jig, but recent happenings in my life lately has kept me from my hobby, mainly starting a new custom cabinet company & breaking into a new market here in the Orlando area. I will get back around to working on the jig, someday To better answer your question, the plans were here for a $9 download when the site was first built (redg8r.com back then) but until the design is improved & made safer, I dont feel comfortable in releasing the plans. There is a post in the homebrew tools forum showing a second revision I made from a couple years ago, http://www.tackleunderground.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=3003 Ive made more progress since then & when I get er figured out, I promise to keep everyone posted & hopefully everyone could help improve the design & make thier own, even better. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrawChuck Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Cool! I handmade some wood lures some years ago. This sounds like something really useful. Hope you get it perfected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
