This is insane, Mikko. I somehow knew this couldn't come out of a cutting plotter, yet I couldn't believe my eyes when I was watching you cutting every single scale by hand. Outstanding work 👏🏻
Mate watching you carve and paint your lure creations is nothing short of amazing you've got yourself real talent I've watched this clip along with others many times, the realism in your painting skills brings your lures to life so realistic. Brilliant work keep up your fantastic work
It honestly doesent take that long to do, you should give it a try. The first one is always the hardest but once you've done a couple it becomes easier.
Awesome lesson Mikko. The lure master strikes again. The lure turned out beautifully as always. Keep up the awesome work. I look forward to your next one.
So I've been building lures for a few years now learning Lots from different builders must say you are the master I hope to be able to compete with greats like you one day
Wow! I hope people that watch your videos appreciate the level of skill it takes to accomplish results like yours. I have pretty good skills and teach Indstrial Technology for a living, my students often say "you make it looks so easy" I guess now I can relate 😀
Very nice and detailed work on the scale stencil. I have done some similar work on the dragonfly’s wings using a 3D printer. I think this would be a good application for a 3D printer too.
I've been using mesh bags that onions come in, but your way is much better! Thank you for showing, I'm definitely going to make a set of these stencils.
You are unique. In a good way! Nobody else would ever carve a scales stencil like that, except you haha. I would love to see on video where actually makes a misstake and screams: PERKELE!!
With love from Japan🇯🇵 This work is very difficult or convenient because it can be used many times👍 I am also making a big lure by referring to your video now❗
Wow your attention to detail is second to none , i am never dissappointed with your work and learn so much from you , but have to say you have more patie ce than i do , i would have done the scales in the cricut cutter hahahah. Beautiful bait brother .
That scale work reminds me so much of some of the old Pawpaw plugs I have that I like so much Still fishing the Pawpaws and catching fish ... some of them are 70-80 years old I think
man I do the odd carving for lino printing and cutting paper stencils for silk screening but this to me is WAY too much work for me .... kudos to you for your persistance as the finished product is fantastic
Beautiful work as always Mikko! A timely video for me... I'm just getting into lure making and was thinking about stencils. I like how you reinforced the paper with packing tape but that would still leave the cut edges exposed to moisture. Do you think that there would be any benefit to treating the whole paper (or maybe just the exposed edges) with something (like Minwax Polycrylic) to fortify and waterproof to paper?
They make a half round corner punch leather cutting tool that might work well for cutting out the scale holes. It might require a bit of modification but it should speed up the process for you.
Beautiful lures, but for some time I have discovered that in some fishing spots the metal parts (those related to the line and treble hooks) act almost as a repellent for fish
I'm in awe! My work looks like a kindergarten project compared to yours. Can I ask what brand of airbrush you use. You seem to get so much colour with each pass. I have to water down the paint so much to get it out of the airbrush I get almost no coverage. Also do you adjust the pressure and needle size when doing the fine work such as the fins?
I use iwata highline and iwata custom micron. I do usually limit the amount that the needle can move when I do some precision work but that's not the case here.
I just watched the pine bark and bird feather clip. Very creative and beautiful results. I enjoyed watching the fishing part of it just as much. A bit different from the salmon fishing we do on British Columbia’s west coast. If you’re ever in this part of the world come and stay. We’ve got a piece of paradise here. I’ll take you out. I fish almost every day during salmon season.
I admire your work. Each of your baits are unique and beautiful pieces of art but you use simple things like paper and packing tape that everyone has to achieve these results. Really inspired by your work. I’m curious how many uses you would get out of that stencil?
Это очень красивая и настойчивая работа 👍👍👍 я сам из России , не знаю ваш язык , но всё равно подпишусь на ваш канал . Многое можно узнать от вас информацию интересную. 👍👍👍 хорошо что в Ютубе есть письменный переводчик для чтения !!!
what brand and model of the aircompressor and airguns are you using? what do you recomend for a final one time purchase investment so i can also do this and for other arts and crafts projects?
You have an excellent paint spray gun which I could not find any where. I would be grateful if you would tell me about its name and if I can get it in Canada. Thanks
Hello, i bought mine from www.mapleairbrushsupplies.com/collections/iwata-airbrushes they have a pretty nice selection of stuff and the on top of that the staff is very nice and helpful.
Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, ru-vid.comUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.
