I know what you mean about not making any money on your time. I have sold some soft plastics and I only make enough money to really cover the expenses of making them and maybe a little change to buy a few more supplies, if I add in the time it takes me I am losing money. Your cranks do look very nice though. I have thought about buying me a wooden lathe and turning my own baits and then painting them, maybe I will get to in the future.
