Posts: 235 | Hi there, just thought I would show everyone the drying rack that I made. I like mine turning end over end. The pictures are pretty much self explanitory. If anyone has any questions please ask and I will try to help you out. The motor I use is out of an old micro-wave turntable. Just make sure it is 120 volt. Some are much lower but are marked on the back. I glue a few 2 x 4's together, mark the center and then cut our the circle to whatever dia you want. Then measure around the circle and divide by the number of holders you want to put in the wheel. I use 1/2 inch pvc pipe caps, drill them in and screw off center so they don't turn on you. The holder are made with allagator clamps or nails which go in the tail end of the bait. Just epoxy that one eyescrew in after the lure is clearcoated. Hope this helps you out.

How are you attaching that nail to the end of the pvc section? Edited by BALDY 3/2/2007 9:52 AM | ||

Posts: 235 | I cut a short piece of wood dowel. Break the edge on a belt sander or belt grinder and drive the dowel into the pvc pipe. Then drill a small pilot hole in the center of the dowel. Put a finishing nail in a drill and taper the nail head while the drill and the belt grinder are running. The tap the tapered nail into the dowel. This works great for me. I will show a picture of my holders. Thanks. and I hope this helps.
