Plane Ol Every Day Work
« on: November 11, 2023, 02:58:38 am »
Just more of the same... My interesting projects are more hand tools and manual machining these days.
Getting started on CNC?  In or passing through my area?
If I have the time I'll be glad to show you a little in my shop.

The prototypes worked just fine, so larger versions are prepped to cut.

I've got to ask this:  With ALL the 'rubber worms' that are out there for sale, are you able to sell these, or are they for your own use?

(Or... Perhaps YOU are one of the guys providing all those rubber worms! <grin>)

I make and sell the molds.  Other people make and use/sell the worms. 

These two are my designs (inspired by but not copies of others), that I made because I just can't bring myself to fish with rubber baits that didn't come out of molds I made.  Of course the molds are for sale. 

Here is another I made somewhat recently.  A buddy of mine had a good day with them.  I haven't even fished with them myself yet.

There are a handful of companies who only produce baits for other bait companies as well, but I'm not one of those.  I certainly could be.

That's neat, Bob; good on you!  I'm also in a 'niche market'.

Ay-Yup.  Me fishing with a Zoom worm would be like you buying bottle rockets at Apollo fireworks.  (Yes, I know they burned down a long time ago.)
