[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Let me know below if you plan to make your own! If you do, and you take a picture for social media, tag me! I'd love to see your design!

[@Bbarrow79]

I made my own out of 30 series extrusion. everything else is basically the same. I didnt have enough height, and have been trying to figure out the best route to get that accomplished. I will now be converting over to strut. Thank You soo much.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

@ my pleasure man!

[@douglasmcgraw1572]

Works Perfectly 🤩 Yes, Assembly Line is about to Begin, Don’t You just Love it when a Plan comes Together, Excellent Build, can’t wait to see it in Action, Thanks for Sharing

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Yes indeed, thanks Douglas! Looking forward to stretching it legs for sure!

[@lroyson]

What a nice build. It is very satisfying to hear it open and close. Great job, Adam.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

100% agree, QUITE satisfying 😁. Thanks Lee!

[@stevefix5800]

Another great build. Something to look forward to building in the future. Definitely budget friendly. Looking forward to future projects and builds that are buried in your mind. Keep up the great job.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Steve! The recesses of my brain… that’s a scary place!

[@bjornedqvist7240]

An educational video, it turned out great. Congratulations on a nice build, fits well with the shooting star. Have a good day everyone.👏

Awesome build of an automated finger eater!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

LOL! I’ll do my best to keep em Clear!

[@JoeHazlet]

Great build for your community. You are always thinking of us. I'm sure you are going to use it for more than just your molds. Looks very versatile. Thanks for the video. Be blessed. My friend.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks for watching Joe! I always love to read your comments!

[@tonymcnatt5077]

Awesome job! You made that as simple as possible and a great job explaining the build. Thanks once more for sharing.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Tony! That was the goal!

[@baitchuckin]

Awesome build Adam!! Just be careful of that lever, I was worried when you leaned over you were going to engage the vise again by pushing the lever forward. We definitely want you to keep all 8 fingers!!! 🤣

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

For real! Can’t move too fast around it, that pressure is legit! Thanks man! My fingers and thumbs thank you too!

[@TheBaitCave]

Adam, this is a stellar video!!! I love build videos like this!! I dont need an air vice, but i really want to build one now!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Nick! Glad you enjoyed it!

AWESOME JOB Thank you! I see my GoTo mold will arrive tomorrow can't wait to use it. 😊

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thx man! Hope USPS makes good on their estimate! I’ve had a few molds that were 2-3 late, killing me!

[@T_J_Fishin]

that was extremely smart. please remember that imitation is the greatest form of flattery

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Yes indeed! Share the love - Thank ya much!

[@michaelbarbieri9871]

Your amazing. I learn so much from your channel. Where do you get cooling plates and the blanks. Never have seen a cooling plate.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Michael! Those weren’t quite done… tubing connects them so I can run cold water through them to keep the molds around room temp. I found them on a bait making/mold related Facebook group. The blanks, surprisingly, you can find either by going to metal providers online or… I was surprised to see how many plates were available on Amazon! Lots of different sizes, go figure!

[@CatfishWeekly]

Dude!! I have no need for anything like that, but what a great video! Job well done. Very entertaining and works perfect!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Glad you enjoyed the journey! Thank ya sir!

My pleasure, thanks Jeffery!

[@travislovelace44]

That's awesome brother I made my own a few weeks ago with some aluminum plat plates and a old hydraulic system I cleaned out all the oil and got the valve off Amazon I think I got $15 in it lol thanks again triple j baits

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Sounds fantastic! Thx man 🤜🤛

[@mr.shakyhead5878]

Love it! I may have to use this in the future.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thank ya much! Totally worth it!

[@kyledunsmore321]

Great job! Pretty neat to see my website on your video!! I seen a comment of you saying something about in air pressure, all mine come with their own regulator and are preset to 80 psi! Now mind you I use twin cylinders but at 80 psi my vises will apply 327 pounds of force!!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks man! Quality stuff on your site 👍👍. Good to know about psi as well!

[@kyledunsmore321]

@ thank you sir!

[@IkeOwens-o7w]

Nice Job!!!! Yes I will be building myself one and will take pictures and will tag you in on the build. And where did you get your cooling plates? Keep up the great work and my GOD BLESS.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Sound great man! I look forward to see it! Found the plates in a Facebook bait/molds group - a guy CNCs them and sells them with the hardware. 👍👍

[@DavidMorgan-vj2rf]

Great job that looks awesome where did you get your cooling plates from.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks David! Cooling plates came from a guy on Facebook, he CNCs and sells them with all the fittings 👍👍

[@DavidMorgan-vj2rf]

@SDGCustomLurecraft you wouldn't happen to have his contact information would you.

Thank ya much!

[@ChrisWaldon-qm4mz]

Cool video, bait question from a newbie. How well does triple lamination do on larger molds 5”-7” etc. Thanks

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

@@ChrisWaldon-qm4mz thanks man! Regarding the triple, it really depends on the bait (body shape, etc). That said, I’ve successfully tripled a 7.5 Swimbait and even 7.6 Whip Wad.

[@jordanrock5657]

That is awesome. It looks like you could remove the inlet tube fitting on the switch to just a 1/4npt air fitting. Air fitting to make thread. Assuming it’s 1/4 inch.

[@jordanrock5657]

Air fitting to male thread

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks man! That may be possible, yeah. Not sure if its 1/4" (certainly is for the tubing), but a definite possibility (also assuming there's room between the two "outlets" on either side.

[@kirkamerson1251]

Yes it's 1/4 " male disconet would get rid of access air hose

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

@ 👍👍

[@tedbumbalough8151]

Thanks for the video, as always a big help. One question, what hp and flow is the air compressor did you hook to the air vise? Keep up the great videos.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Ted! In the video the tank pressure was a bit over 100 and the regulated/line pressure was 50. I’ve heard from more experienced vide users that may not be sufficient when clamping a lot of molds for a big run… they suggested a regulated pressure of 100 as well. I plan to experiment a bit as I don’t want to risk pinching any super low tolerance vents.

[@mr.chadwick1049]

Nice work

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks man!!

[@MartinShurina]

Nice build video! BTW-has the Lure Works brand of colorants gone out of business or sold to another company? They seemed to have disappeared from the Spike It website.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

@@MartinShurina thanks man! No, LW is still in business. They have a new site: www.shoplureworks.com

[@Bbarrow79]

the new site is nice but it is laid out a little different. I was confused when I went to the site today because I had just placed an order last week. and I was confronted with change

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

@ yup, the new site just went live last week.

[@mikelabelle420]

Love it!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

@@mikelabelle420 thanks Mike! Glad ya dig it!

[@kirkamerson1251]

If you want the valve to work the way you thought was the directions you first mentioned -swap air hoses to cylinder

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

No kidding?! Well dang, I’ll try that, thanks!

[@ZAZUBAITS4U.]

LOL I had the same reaction when mine worked!!!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

LOL, it’s a special kind of joy!

[@georgedolak8120]

Nice.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks George!

[@kirkamerson1251]

How much air pressure you running at?

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

This was 50psi (regulated/line pressure), a bit over 100 in the tank. Word is it should be higher, closer to 80-100 in the line, so I’ll be adjusting for the first official bait run.

[@kirkamerson1251]

Ok thanks

[@edgarwright8288]

I am 66 years old and i want to make crappie baits. What size dual injectors would you suggest from your website?

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Crappie baits only, you can get away with a 4oz dual. That said… if you have multiple molds that you’d like to shoot at the same time or you think you’ll ever get into bigger baits, a 6oz would be better and isn’t that much more expensive. I ran a 6oz dual for a LONG time, it was great (have dual 8’s now). Highly suggest N2 Manufacturing as they make top quality stuff! You can find them at the N2 website or at Barlows: barlowstackle.com/n2-dual-injector-kits/?afmc=et

[@djradrs199]

Don’t ever sell yourself short brother !! …coming from a seasoned fabricator / maintenance tech of 30 yrs who’s made his own tools out in the field ,, adapted parts from scraped equipment, hooked together 4 different sized fittings to make something work … cross threaded a metric bolt into an sae nut because you had to make something work in a emergency(because Home Depot and Amazon don’t deliver in the field ) I say YER AH PRETTY HANDY DUDE !! That’s a Super Sweet Set Up Mr Sir ❤ 👊🤙🏆. ( only thing I’d add ) at the back is a thin piece of teflon between rails and the clamp that slides … drill a hole in it run the bolt back thru .. the teflon shim will help it slide up an back better than the metal on metal… ( just a thought )👊

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks Dan! Took me a minute to follow the Teflon comment but I finally got it - fantastic suggestion, thank ya sir!!

[@djradrs199]

@ HEY … I have YEARS of useless info share lol. Lol 😂

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

@ 🤜🤛

[@TheZaphros]

Made my own as well, t extruded, wood issue i have is the 116 psi from the lever. Same one you have there. But like what u did there..

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks man!

Can we take bets on how long it takes to pinch a finger

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Hey now, don’t you be puttin that nasty ju-ju on me! LOL

[@TNtreasurehunter]

@ love the videos just messing with you looks like it could bite you pretty good though.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

@@TNtreasurehunter all good man, I’m with ya!

[@darrylshepherd5057]

Been thinking about making one but I can do it even cheaper because I do construction and I can get almost everything but the air valve from work

That would be fantastic! Hope it works out for ya!

Same here

Another name? Good to know if so! I just went with what Lowes called em!

[@brandonsmith606]

@SDGCustomLurecraft Yeah that's what we in the biz call them lol I didn't get to finish the video yet but I will tonight it sounds like you have a good idea I build and maintain things like this for a living

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

@ nice, hope you enjoy the rest of the build!

[@brandonsmith606]

You couldn't have done it much better. The only minor thing I might change is totally eliminate the inlet hose and get a male to male quick disconnect and plug the compressor hose directly to the directional control valve. Great build for guy who says he's not handy lol 😂

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

@ thanks man! A couple folks mentioned that - have to check it out! Thx again!

[@ReelyHooked]

I wish the video was just a tad bit longer with you filling up the molds

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

I considered shooting them, yup! Decided it was best to “stay on topic” though since it was a build video. We’ll use it soon!
