    this is the epitome of someone perfecting their craft by consistently challenging themselves. Truly. There is not another human being on this planet who is making this diverse areay of different types of lures that are this highly functional. He pulls off every lure he tries.

    I think it would be awesome to see you make a koi fish lure! There are so many different varieties with really cool color patterns and I think you would do an amazing paint job on something like a kin gin rin koi with the translucent scales.

      I was thinking this same thing when the video started. Could make an entire line of them in different colors and shapes.

    You are the Bob Ross of lure making. I thought you had screwed it up an 2 minutes later it looks like gold.

    I gotta admit, when I stumbled across this channel a while ago, I thought it was just another guy doing what he loved to do...I didn't know I stumbled across a master of his work. The stuff that this fine gentleman does is immaculate. Even from the beginning his stuff was good. Would love to see him carve something huge, like if he carved a bigger species, like a "near to scale " shark head or something.

  • @davidg375
    @davidg375 Před rokem +4

    An untried suggestion for your brush problem; maybe a little super glue where the bristles go into the metal would keep them from falling out. Also, I've found gluing two pieces of sand paper back to back make a great tool for sanding carved gills. It makes it stiff enough to get right up next to the next gill without having to force it to keep it's shape, the corners are great for sanding those tight spots, and when the edges wear down it can be trimmed for a clean edge.

    I've always widdled walking sticks with random pocket knives but i gotta be honest your artistic ability has made me go out and buy a set of flexcuts and some basswood blanks. You've inspired me.

    I know you have convinced yourself we don't want aaaaallll the little details... But you sir, are wrong. Even when you think you are rambling. Even when you think that you may speak too much.
    There is a damned good reason we stay subscribed. As always, your work is exemplary.
    Truly I must say you are being freer, with the whimsy and general feeling of where you're putting colors.
    Especially how you layer them! (Thank you btw)
    Every bait, every project, EVERY TIME... AS ALWAYS... LOOKS FANFUGGINTASTIC.
    Don't overthink.
    Just do your thing man.
    Teach us and quit holding back!
    We want the little details, and to hear you talk about why they are there!
    We have been with you this long and we will be here til ye can't move your knife.

    Your creations are always great. I'm not a bait maker but I fish a ton and recently got into freshwater fishing. Just a bit of topic, the way you straighten coiled wire came in handy for me when my daughter asked me to make a big whisk for the school play that she's in charge of.

    I once made a Barbie head lure, but that was pretty simple. Ended up catching my biggest Largemouth ever with it(7lbs). I’d love to see you try weird baits haha, Barbie heads, action figures, boat, human buzz baits or something crazy haha!

    Still waiting for a cuttlefish the body wood or resin with plastic worm like tentacles on the head. And allow it to swim backwards as a cuttlefish does. Because of the body shape it would be a diving bait. Using a stop and go method of retrieve to mimic the movement of a cuttlefish during the stop the tentacles would hang down the flow out when it moves backwards. If you make the tentacles out of would they would have hinge to hang down in the stop. Then flow up during the tentacles dutrong the retrieve so it would just a little heavier than neutral bouncey so the would fall down in the stop. Enjoy watching you make the lures with so much authenticity and attention to detail. You truly have a talent and skill.
