A wobblerMy latest fishing lure. It's a wobbler or sometimes called a crawler. It's very cool in that it makes a bloop, bloop sound when it wobbles across the water, hence the name 'wobbler'.It was a bit challenging as I only had pictures of some and videos of them being used. I guessed the structure. It has to be balanced just right to work as it should. Made of pine and aluminum Everything is hand made, blades, body, eyes, eyelets, everything except the hooksThere is a video of it here should you want to see how it was built from a piece of pine from a tree I cut down forty nine years ago when I was seventeen.

Negative Rake Lathe Tool

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Negative Rake Lathe ToolSo I wanted a negative rake lathe tool for turning acrylics and really hard wood, They're like $80-$125+ but you can buy a replacement cutter for $15-$20… I'm not cheap when it comes to buy tools but what makes the handle worth all that money? So I bought a cutter and shaped the tip of a 3/8” stainless rod on the grinder, Drilled and tapped it and screwed the cutter on. Then I turned a mahogany handle on my lathe with a tenon for a band and drilled it out. For a band I used a 1/2” brass adapter that I put in the metal lathe, Cut off the male end and drilled it out for the stainless steel. I used JB Weld 5 minute epoxy to put it all together. To see if it was worth it I timed myself… It took me less than 45 minutes. I'm calling it a win… Oh.., And there's a cigar style pen I made from a Jameson whiskey barrel stave and the top I printed the label and cast it in resin.
