For me that is. Round one of supplies have come in. I will be in the lab the next several months or so melting, pouring, mixing, painting, tying, developing and plotting in hopes of getting Thump Huntin' Jigs up off the ground sometime soon. I am a total noob at this and will be in contact with several people along the way in hopes of reducing the learning curve. I still have many more jig and plastic molds as well as other various supplies to purchase. Stay tuned. :)

Man, you have gone all in looks like. Hope you have great success.
Ah, there it is. Thump Huntin Jigs. Wondered when you were gonna reveal the Super Secret Name that you teased us with months ago. I like it! Good luck.
So I guess " Nip It Jigs" is still available then- with an endorsement from Deputy Barney Fife from Mayberry. You're gonna have to be a geezer to follow this one.
:biggrin
Haha I like it. Nip it Jigs. Should have got with ya 1st.
Good luck DRNip! Look forward to trying your baits.
Thank you.
Man Nip, you're a sic dude. I'm hoping for a slow recovery!
Afraid not bro. Already got stuff picked out for 2nd round of supplies. Also have to build a bigger shed for the new zero turn mower and wife suggested I build an additional room off of it for my shop. Will have plenty of ventilation too. Lord I love this woman!
Take her suggestion, but build your room twice as big as you think you will need.
I have an 8' x 3' workbench in the garage that feels plenty of big for anything I did on it that I had to cut down to 6' x 3' yesterday because navigating it with the boat in was very difficult. Pretty sure I won't be going anything under 8' x 3' for the main work area as the 6' x 3' seems tiny now! Maybe I can go smaller if I do two designated work areas. One for jigs and another for plastics.
Yeah, but pretty soon you gotta trade in the johnboat for something a little bigger then what. Plan ahead now for the ark you will build when Thumper's Jigs takes off!
Got the temporary station built this week until I get the shop out back built. A little small but is all the room I had in the garage between the boat and cars. Also got out tonight and practiced for the 1st time shooting some plastics. Took me several tries but finally got the groove of it. Still have miles more to go before I am up and running. Just thought I would share. :)
