After getting great advice from the members of this board on my last wooden project (the Jointed Spook) I got thinking in adding some additional feature to the next one. The general consensus recommended that the back hook be located more at the back. Another suggestion was to add rattles to it. The easiest part was to relocate the hooks position but the rattles..... well had an idea and proceeded to making it. First I cut a piece of 1"x 2" of pine to 5" then cut it again length wise to 3/4" so that it gave me a square piece. Was able to get another piece out of that. Cut it again length wise in half, both of them. Then I carefully marked the hooks position, 1" from the back and 2" from the front. Then created a groove in between where I had marked the hooks spot. See pic below: Another angle Then I used split shot sinkers and with a good pair of pliers, made them round. Dropped two of them into the groove and glued the pieces together. See pic below: I let the glue set for an hour and then started sanding to round the piece. See pic below: Then finished both. See pic below: Added the eyelets for the hooks. See pic below: Got a coat of white on it. See pic below: Here is a short video of the sound it makes This one is going to be heavier at the back because of the split shots and the hook position. Now all it needs is a coat of chartreuse, dot pattern and a couple of coat of varnish and it's good to go Hope you enjoyed Leechman
