Hand made helper tool, I can make lots of bends with this one.

In the second photo you can see just how close the nails are together, a wire width. The short wire has to be put in far enough so you can wrap the wire totally around the tall nail.

Theses are homemade beetle spin frames, the line tie and bend for attacheing the the crane swivel are made with the handmade

Nice work with bending wire, it's very professional looking.

Very cool stuff.I'm getting for my next tool a "Poulsen Twistech" from Barlow's.I try to limit 1 major investment a month,but that has'nt been the case as of lately,lol.

The only thing I haven't seen with the Boggs or Twisttech is a way to make coiled closing springs. With the Netcraft one I can.

looks nice do they work same as normal

They sure do!!!

Making a "coil" ,, outside of using round nose, has all ways been a problem with me .. Trying to get my "Head Around It" ....

It's not too hard once you get the hang of it. Netcraft includes what they call a wire mandrel which is how you make them.

Another box of stuff

What Netcraft calls it's wire mandrel, this is used to make the coils

Wrappping the wire

Finished coil, cut off what you need and save the rest for another time

Another cool thing you can make once you learn it is crappie spreadder frames, it's way cheaper to make them than buy them

Look at the clock...... you are getting sleepy.... very sleepy........ on my comand you will get 10 aluminum molds, 4 injectors, and more colors than a bag of skittles...... when you awake you can blame me for eeeeeeverthing :D

plastics are a ton of fun I told my self I had to slow down a bit I was going though a gallon a month and getting molds ect. so I had to slooow it down lol its a blast! I would love to make my own spinners for them but maybe next year.

Thanx FM .. I get the idea

I'll bite - what are the coils used for?

UG

If you think of how to close a beetle spin form once you put the jig on it, the coils do basically the same thing

Lindy® True-Spin Spinners : Cabela's

You push the coil up and put whatever you want on the spinner the use the coil to close it.

Well I never,,, Learn something new everyday....
