Nice! I too have been thinking about building-the kits sound like a good starting place (recommendations?). A family member is going to give me a mini lathe he's not using, so I'm running out of excuses. There's something special about catching a fish, or better yet someone else catching a fish using one of my homemade flies-I imagine the same goes for these plugs.

By the way-I like the DVD/CD in the picture.

Hookem, I purchased a load of bodies from an ebay seller this week, they were cheap averaging less than $1 each w/shipping so I won't feel guilty about wrecking some while I come up with paint schedules and other experimenting...they range from 4-7+ inches...the seller seems to put them on fairly regularly in lots from 5-70....the name is "budumbudum" if you want to keep an eye out....but if you get that lathe...gidayyup!

I haven't used a lathe since junior high shop class (not sure my kids will get the same experience-liability and all). Nonetheless, the lathe and router make for some of the coolest woodworking experiences-gotta love the sights, sounds and smells.

The last thing I need is another hobby, but I owe it to my uncle to put it to use.
