This is my first attempt at turning something different than rod components on my lathe. Although they have a quite ways to go before I would be comfortable even considering selling them, they are perfectly fine for my own use. I'm going to poly clear coat them and then set them adrift.

They look good to me, and it is nice to be able to build them to your own specification.

Now for the stupid question. How do you attach them to your line? surgical tubing?

some guys use surgical tubing, but I've found them to be a bit bulky...Can't beat drennan's "float caps" which are rubber band thickness sections of various sized tubing diameters.

Here's the second round. Getting a little better at the painting...Got some sweet model pin striping for the stripes.

Nice!!

They are looking good. I would just spray paint them all one color as the base coat. Then put them back in the lathe and use paint markers to put the hightlights on them.

I appreciate the suggestion. I'm willing to try them all to get these puppies up to speed and looking good!

good job! you might even be able to make these slip bobbers if you could find a hollow tube that is sturdy enough
