Leecher Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) Hope you guys and girls had a good Christmas and that Santa was good to you. For me was all about my family, good company, good food and a few drinks Did manage to hit the hard stuff on the 24th in the afternoon for a couple of hours but did not get sniff Had a good time and felt great to be back at it Weather wise is not the greatest up here so I kind of refrain from going fishing..... but later in the week will certainly give it a go Had a lot of rain and freezing rain coming down on boxing day so decided to remain in doors and tackle another wooden project.... this time wanted to make crank baits similar to BigO's, but not the same I did last summer..... wanted to make it a copy cat of the original..... well I came close.... here's the results: Now needs a coat of color and they are good to go!!! Will keep you posted on the development Hope you enjoy! Leechman ******************************************************************************* @@@@@@ UPDATE @@@@@@ ******************************************************************************* After a few coats of color..... here is the transition results Under belly orange Chartreuse on top Not quite finish.... but almost Got some little details to work out.... will keep you posted on the development Leechman Edited December 29, 2009 by Leechman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leecher Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 looks great! well done...how does one get started in doing that right from the start? thanks Thanks ColdH20guy!!! To do this right, you need the proper tools to under take such project (i.e. bandsaw, press drill, jobmate with dremmal etc...) otherwise you ain't going to achieve the results that you had anticipated.... also, time and patience is another factor and that's about all is required.
