Learning how enlarge on the photocopier is new to me - as is knowing how much spray adhesive is required to stick a template to wood.

But I'm slowly ticking off the list of possible stuff ups - ( just noticed I missed a cut on the gill plate - also might broaden the head, round off the tail and tweak the mouth, so it doesnt look like a trout)

I dont think the coffee based stain is going to make the cut - But mounting the half sized prototype on a mirror may get a run

Just googled up some "tight arsed" diy wood stains - seems like I better add steel wool and vinegar to the shopping list

So the vinegar works out to be 15c a cup and the Steel wool is 13c a pad - They only had soapy steel wool so I peeled the outer layer off
I went with 1 - Coffee, White Vinegar and steel wool 2 - Balsamic vinegar and Steel wool. 3 -White Vinegar and Steel wool Should be able to mix and match those colours to get a variety of stains Last edited by yellow door 1; 21-03-2017 at 07:25 AM. |

Another tight arsed option is watering down acrylic paint for a wider range of colours.

Or theres the store bought versions which are a bit more expensive.
So vinegar and steel wool costs about $1 a litre (limited colour range and you still have to seal it) Acrylic paintmixed with water would be about $18 a litre (unlimited colour range but you still have to seal it) and Store bought is about $50 a litre (limited colour range but it already has sealant in it) Last edited by yellow door 1; 21-03-2017 at 06:05 PM. |

The whip cast - I like it. Could be very useful for fish on the surface that won't touch anything....just dong em on the head with a sinker travelling at 1000fps.
