Seems the forum has died down a bit. What does do during the "off season" to keep busy??? Post pics of what you do in your spare time, I have a few things I'm doin', I'll post some pics later.

As one fine gentleman once said eons ago "There's other fish in the sea". Well, the mack fishing at the Gorge is just now starting to get pretty good and the weather is fantastic. Here's a pic of a friend from last year in MY boat.

Thanx! I don't even want to think about how many hours I have into this! It was fun to do tho. Heres a pic of the pieces after they were cut and as I was painting it. The time was painting a little, waiting for the paint to dry, painting more etc.

This set took a span of 5 days including paint to build. It's the display piece I used at our last show. No CNC either.

Solid Hickory heart wood.

Very nice MMM!! That would have taken me months to do and it wouldn't have looked that good. I just work in the shop a few hours most days (and on weekends when I can get out of yardwork).

Thank you Pogue. I really enjoy you sharing your great creations and skills in the plugs you post here. I have an infinity for all those who work with wood. Lately I've dabbled into the world of metal and glass as you've maybe seen on other threads. It's still a huge learning curve.

BTW are you also on SOL?

Thanks again,

Don

SOL is the business when it comes to Plug building. i have a really good friend that goes to the Ashbury every year to show some fine woodworks.

I think Winch moved to Oregon last time I spoke with him. Some came directly from Winch and some from the Bug_Spin_Docta. West Coast stuff from the some of the best out there.

I have had it a little over a year, and it has affected my fishing & pocket found somthing more $$$ then Kokanee; still waiting for the front fenders (Paint) just hanging for almost 5 months on them.... here is what I started with very lucky, and a mid step. TL

I just recognize the names, and have seen some of their work - very nice! I think there are only a few from the west coast there. I always felt more like an outsider on SOL. Not for any other reason than different types of fishing styles/lures. As far as I know, there is only one other person from Wa. state there.

That truck was in pretty nice shape to begin with!

I did say very lucky! But when it was moved it was hard to push & it came from a time when there was dung on the dirt roads and there was plenty stuck to the bottom. Nice sketches

Fantastic job with the sketches Rob, I didn't realize you liked to draw too.
