Bennie awesome post there!! I love reading your DIY posts!! Now to stop being so lazy...
Thanks, with this step by step may even give a try.
Awesome Bennie, you need a scroll saw.
On the wood dimensions, if you deep cut a 38mm you will get 2 x 14mm out. for your sizes they are probably just planing a 25mm to 15mm, big waste.
If you change the width to 44mm from 50mm you can cut slices off a 50mm plank of 15mm which will give you 30 - 40% better yield. you could even do thinner slices as you cut quite a bit away.
where's my ss bars email / post - cost transport - garage sale eh? eh

Mmm my bad, will send your goodies asap!
I do have a scroll saw! Thing is I wanted to show guys how easy it is to make your own lures with minimal basic equipment. The biggest problem I see is people think they need tons of machinery to be able to make a lure.Thanks, with this step by step may even give a try.

Shot Bennie, Know the wood is small % but 44mm would be more economical, from rough 50mm dimensions.
All am saying if one ordered by me 15 x 50 and it would come from 25mm thick planed to 15mm, if you order 44 x 15, would come from 50mm planed to 44mm and sliced to 15mm. major difference in materials, though not major cost nor concern it is less raw material waste.
Was bit concerned with the jigsaw use on the small pieces, bounce, rattle etc. sander better, or scroll first prize.

Nice action on those lures Bennie!
I think a new thread for airbrushing? It will just make future searches easier...

Hi Bennie, not to take anything away from your great post on how you make your 3d lure eyes, but thought i'd share the method i'm using for what its worth. I either couldnt find stickers like you used small enough for the eyes i wanted, or they didnt have a base that could peel away after putting resin on.
So i found these pre-made epoxy "eyes" in a Paper Paradise store. I think they are normally used on coasters or photo albums. They have a sticky back when peeled off, and they come in various sizes. These were the size eyes i wanted.

Then with a bit of trimming you get 2 beady eyes. i guess you could use round stickers that are the same size as the eye, then no need to trim. Next i want to try some airbrushed paper stuck on the back. Sorry for the poor quality of the photos - at work with my cellphone.

That is brilliant Patrick! In the early days I painted drawing pins. But at the end of the day its about being creative and finding solutions.
Well done!
