Morning All,
Hope everyone is going Ok.
Sometimes we have to take the positives out of the negatives, even though my hands/arms/shoulders are still fu$ked it’s forced me to slow down a lot with the lure making, and with that I feel as if the quality has stepped up a notch or 2.
For those starting out on your lure making journey I get that the excitement takes over, but sometimes it’s good to take that step back and assess what can be done better, whether it be extra sanding of the timber, or that extra coat of primer that needs that extra sand, or even that extra coat of clear to enhance the finish, or taking that extra bit of time when painting the eyes on etc.
For me I’m always learning and looking at doing things other ways to make those improvements patience is what I’m learning with this PTS…as patience definitely wasn’t/still isnt one of my strong points, just ask my wife 😁
These 2 lures I’ve just finished, I feel as if the finish is right up there and I couldn’t be happier with them.
Believe me, not for one minute am I saying I’m anywhere near the level with my lure making as the top makers…but the consistency is getting better and better, albeit still very slow going lol
The biggest part of making lures is to make sure you have fun👍👍
