How do I make A crankbait hook harness? and what do i make it out of?

Are you talking about the hook hangers?  All the crankbaits I have seen either have screw in eyelets or whats called thru wire which is a single piece of wire.

The "harness" you are refering to is the through wire method that Munkin rerefered to. You can also use a basswood balsa laminate that will hold a homemade hook hanger made from a piece of stainless that is twisted into shape. The basswood acts as the "spine" so to speak.

If you are making bass cranks, forget about the thru wire harness.  Get some 19 gage stainless steel wire and twist your own line ties and hangers.  Pre drill a hole and glue in with 5 min epoxy.  Those will not come out.

Thanks for the posts, I was completely lost in trying to make my own stuff.

I haven't had one pull out yet.  If you're dealing with bigger fish (like muskies) you might want to go with a wire-through.

I have been using thru wire on my crankbaits because it is just easier but mine are not made of wood.

That what i was talking about i forgot to mention  plastic cranks.

THe cranks I have been making are poured out of Aluminite urethane resin and microballoons in a silicone mold.

I have the same kit, but what are micro balloons?

They are what you add to make the bait float. Straight aluminite will slowly sink and the micro balloons are a filler that adds bouancy.
