I made these up from some free wine corks I got from a local winery a couple years back. Put in my tabletop drill press and shaped with sandpaper. Latex craft paint and varnish. May need to drill out the tube and put a slightly bigger ones in...Attachment 482999

Looks good BUT................you got too much free time on your hands. You NEED to be fishing!;):)
Look great. Coffee stirrers might do the trick. :dono
Look good.
I tried coffee stirrers on my first ones. The tube cuts real easy from the line, then don't slide up and down the line. I tried these tunes from an can of air. Dry they work great. Wet, the line won't go through with 1/32 oz jigs. So I found these at HobbyLobby. Hope they work. Will see if I can get them done Thursday. Tomorrow I got to run momma, Ms Joyce, up to a Dr. Appt in Lebanon, Mo., No telling how long that will be.Quote:

Next time at hobby lobby pick up some 1in x 1in square stock of balsa wood and try it.
I was looking at the balsa wood supply at my local HobbyLobby and all they had was the bags of assorted blocks. I left them as I have no way to cut them down right now. May have to order some 1"x1" stock. Thank you for the suggestion though.Quote:

I bought one of these and it works amazing well with the right lathe chisel.
Before and after photos. Red straws are tube off canned air, and white straws are the 5/32 tubes from HobbLobby. Used general purpose epoxy to hold tube in place. Put tube where you want it then mark ends of float on tube. Slide tube toward top, then smear epoxy about 2/3 the distance from top to bottom. Slide cork down tube with a twisting motion to bottom mark. Wipe off excess. Let dry. Once dry, their ready to get wet.Attachment 483290Attachment 483291
