    I am very serious Senko, I'm looking into purchasing a CNC soon. My hope, is to have things up and running within 60 days. I will certainly keep you informed. I'm also moving in a couple of weeks, so I'll PM you as soon as I relocate. Thank you, thomas

    SENKOSAM, I purchased one from Del, that is why I've been thinking about another outlet. Del does wonderful work, but very slow to get. And being in the machining business, I know it's not always his fault. Also, he may have a lot of orders to fill. Which makes me believe there could be room for another outlet. thomas

  8. bassmasta, So how's the worms coming along? Caught some nice smallie's with some of my own worms. Pretty exciting when catching with a worm you hand poured. Enjoy. thomas

    To all you plastic lure makers, my name is Thomas, I'm a machinist and I'm thinking about making alum. molds. I'm interested in some feed back on whether there's that much call for a nother outlet. They would be on the fine workmanship order of a Del-Mart Mold. thomas
  11. I to would like to know. thomas
  12. Keep in touch, let me know how the work for you. I just may try out your formula. thomas
  13. bassmasta, It also helps to heat plastic as close to 400 degrees as possible. It pours alot better. thomas
  14. Bassmasta7, Let me know how it turns out. :-?

    Whittler, What would you suggest for a airbrush compresser? thomas
  16. Bassmasta 7, This is my formula for my senko 5-1/2" Del-mart mold. 8oz. of plastic, 3-1/2oz. of salt and 1tsp softner. let worms set out a couple of days and you will have a senko with the consistency of a Yamamoto Senko. Worked for me. thomas

    Great looking work Whittler. I'm a 63 yr. old man looking to make mine own lures. Here in Michigan we have a few months of down time on the water. Seem's I could enjoy making lures in the winter months. May make the time go faster. At 63, times seems to fly anyways. Again, beautiful craftsmanship. thomas
  23. Thank you, I've noticed that whittler makes some pretty awesome lures. Wouldn't mind getting some instructions from that young man. :-? thomas
  24. I would like to look into making my own crank baits. Would anyone be interested in helping me out by informing me where to look for the materials and books on making lures. :-/ Thank you men thomas
