Hey! I looked on your website, hoping to find a photo of either you or
the anti-Christ. Nada. Whatsa matter, you shy?


ROTFL!!! Me? Shy?

Well, it's a work in progress. I have several pictures of fish and
stuff, but I haven't had the time to finish off the rod page, add the
resource page and a ton of other stuff. Another couple of weeks until
I get all my ducks in a row and can spend a day or two on it. Maybe
I'll do some today.

Thanks for taking a look around. How did you find it anyway? I
haven't exactly promoted it much at all.


You posted a hint here this morning. Did you carve that lure? If I tried
that, I'd be missing chunks of fingers.


I did? Oh, the email thing. Very good.

Well, thanks for visiting. I would appreciate any comments you may
have about the site and it's format, graphics, etc.

As to the lure, yes, I made all my wood lures and a couple of plastic
ones from blanks that I purchase - Bill Lewis clones usually.

Carving is a waste of time when making a lure. I do carve an
occasional lure if I'm looking for something more artistic, but most
of the time I use a band saw, bench belt sander or a lathe. I prefer
the lathe approach for small lures - I have a mini-lathe and it's much
quicker. For that particular large lure, that was done on a belt
sander after cutting out the form on a band saw.

It's a ton of fun and I make a bunch every year for friends and
aquatainences. They work pretty well too.

Later,

Tom
