One Sock Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 looks nice but I'd think that a mold that big might warp after a while, who made that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyfisherman Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 sock it may warp at some point but being metal i wont bet on it happening for a bit. maybe after 10,000 baits. the machine is not in my garage but in a shop i have access to. i can make anything i want! i am trying a 3 piece 10 cavity senko we will see how it works.

dampeoples Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 What would the purpose of the 3rd piece be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 SWEET! How long is the snake? pm sent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyfisherman Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 peoples the third peice will be in the middle with both sided imprinted with the stickbait. so instead of one straight line it will be like this: the "o" is the cavities 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 What would the purpose of the 3rd piece be?

dampeoples Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Ah killer, solves that warp problem Mr. Sock was speaking of, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyfisherman Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 yes it will solve any warp issues it may have. i want to do a big cube like a 20 cavity!!! then when i take the worms out i can do it in layers! 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Yeah man, that would be cool. It's such a simple idea, makes me wonder if it's not been done before because a) Molds command a premium, so why? or there is an issue that crops up Either way, good luck with it. and have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmik26 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 The real question is are you going to sell any molds ? Let me know if your looking to pic up some extra cash? Hearing about that senko mold sounds like your thinking is a step above the rest, I like it. Design yourself a Paca Craw type bait you could probably make a small fortune.... Keep up the good work...Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millsryno Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I've looked into doing a 100 cavity cube before and was told that the baits in the middle take too long to set up due to all the heat from the other cavities. I was told that it would take longer doing it this way then just using more molds....I am interested to here how it works out for you.

dampeoples Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Now that makes sense, Ryan. Of course, depends on how much production you are looking for. If you're mixing up say, 8 oz. of plastic, and you know it's good for x amount of baits, then time isn't really a problem, as they may cool before you could mix and heat another batch.

Delw Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Like Ryan said its not worth it for a hand pour guy, and its expensive, it doesnt really save you any money. to make it worth your while you need to have 6-10 cubes(do to cooling) and you need to inject them. the cooling off takes a very long time, I built 2 for a guy in upper Ca 3 years ago, he ended up buying extra sides so he could use them with only one middle section. basically have 14 cavities 7 per row. He has all the pieces still and the last time I talked to him he was thinking fo water cooling the mold with some runners to get the plastic cool, but it just wasnt worth it. we used drill rod to align them. Its very time consuming to put them all together and the molds get extreamly hot, they need to clamped with clamps ( quick clamps). then to top it all off you have alot of weight and when full your probally talking 50-100 lbs per block. plus when its heavy and that many piece's they get dropped alot, this will ding the sides and you have to sand them.

One Sock Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hmmm, I like the 20 cavity cube idea., with a pouring pot you could knock out quite a few really quick, while they are cooling i could pour frogs and stuff. Heck make me 5 of them!!!!!. make a sliding track under the spout that goes left right/up down, open the spout then move the cube and fill the cavity's...got the wheels turning that's for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Bass Baits Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Looks nice, you should make them with longer sprue holes as the others do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyfisherman Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 to answer all questions yes i will be selling them and can do any bait you can think of. del i didnt think about the heat factor thanks for bringing that up. maybe a few 10 or 12 cavities(2 rows) would be better. jmik send me a pic of a paca craw i have a few here but want to see what you are talking about. sock i have the big 12 cavity on a roller under my pot it works nice! also what are longer sprue holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACHINIST Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hi guys I am the guy that made the molds.I made them from dimensions out of my head.NYFISHERMAN is going to come and pour some plastic in my molds sometime this week and I will let you know the results of that I or he will post some pics.I will be offering any mold that you want withing a few weeks,I just want to get the first ones ironed out before I make a bunch of molds that I will have to rework because of something that I left out.So let me know what I can do for you and I will give you a price and availability.Everything is done solid models and the repeatability of my machines are within a millionth of an inch,so you will get a quality part I GUARANTEE IT.The first few that I make for customers will be sort of a tester to make sure everyone is happy after that I will go into production.

jmik26 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I would be glad to do some testing on any baits your need, I can inject or hand pour. Are you gonna have a web site for your molds or do stuff by email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACHINIST Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I am just getting into this so I dont know how I will be selling them,if it will be word of mouth on this forum or if I will do up a website for the molds.I guess time will tell.

Vodkaman Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I assume DXF files ase OK. Do you want models of the mould with cavity, location spigots and sprue etc or just the model of the lure, or both. I can put together a model in the next week or two for testing.
