How to make a hand made wooden topwater lure on a lathe. See much more detail at www.woodenluremaking.com

*Altogether a well made lure **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s the skirt seems to stay on well and the whole thing is bigger than I thought it would be. The 2 metal have a nice plating on them as well.*

[@TheNick508]

I think I've watched this video 100 times. Still one of my favorites!

[@MichaelCraig-bi3wj]

I have followed your instructions to the tee ever since I bought your e-book, best $20 I ever spent. Thanks Kermett!

[@kluremaker]

+Michael Craig You are welcome Mike

[@WestonTobacco]

Just bought his book, the second book I purchased. I could have saved some money if I had gotten his first. It is worth the money!! Thanks!!!

[@240SSONLY]

its amazing what the proper jigs and a lather can do combined with the hands of an expert like this... great job keep up the good work... i can tell you hands have taken a beating over the years through the fishing and fabricating you put them through... i respect that and your artistic craftsmanship, i take my hat off to you... id love to have some of those basic wood working tools in my garage, i think ill try and find a cheap little lathe to start testing some lure designs and painting

[@paulbeach7129]

Wow, thank you. You made this look really easy.

ミツキ. 。 LOL 😄

[@kenychowsf]

Great video, what kind of chuck is that.

[@kluremaker]

@UnitedPonys The wood is eastern red cedar

[@kluremaker]

Yes you can but the hardwood is best for lures that are intended for use beneath the surface. It may not work very well for top water lures.

[@whitetailontherun]

great video i dont think you can make em as fast as i can watch em whos sells laiths and how much do they cost?

[@tbsomerville5798]

I just access to a lathe & I’m looking forward to learning something new in woodworking. What wood is mostly used in lure bodied? Cedar or basswood?

[@jannassary]

hi very informative but I have a Q. how do you put the wire through or do you just use screw type hooks thank you

[@MrCrazyfish99]

nice vid is the torpedo shaped lure the only tipe u can make on a lathe because after waching youer videos i made one and wonted to know thanks

[@kluremaker]

The next step is to drill a hole in the belly to attach a swivel to the wire. This is how you attach belly hook and the tail hook is attached with a wire wrap loop.

[@ShirtRIPPA83]

Kermitt, this is amazing. I wish you had more videos that showed the entire process from start to finish. This is really something I want to learn to do. I already tie my own flies, but now I would like to get into lure making as well. Where would you suggest I go to start? What kind of wood do you use? Know any good books or websites that would help get me started? I would greatly appreciate any info you can give me!

[@kluremaker]

Hi, I mostly use eastern red cedar. You can get a lot more info on how to make wooden top water lures at my site;www.woodenluremaking.com/ This will take youi from A to Z on making wooden lures. Have fun,Kermett

[@firewoodguy2009]

can you use hard woods to make fishing lures just asking becasuse i have accesse to lots of klim dryed hard wood scraps

[@evacaballito4174]

que madera se usa para hacer señuelos? la madera balsa parece que flota mucho pero teniendo en cuenta los dientes de algunos peces me parece demasiado fragil la madera balsa

[@kluremaker]

The tool I am using to remove most of the wood is a skew I believe. The bit in the other video is 1/8 inch diameter by 6 inches long.

[@kluremaker]

Then do a search for a video;"Buildng a Lordship A40 fishing lure".This wll show you most of the steps to build a thru wire constructed lure.

[@kluremaker]

@THEAMAZINGTJ Eastern red cedar.

[@TheNick508]

what brand of lathe do you use in this excellent video

[@kluremaker]

+TheNick508 It isa Grizzly mini lathe that is no longer made. I now am using a mini lathee sold by Harbor freight

[@itsunicornsandkaylahrainbo7118]

yes sir i have a harbor freight 8x12 lathe i was wanting to know can i use a tail stock spindle on both ends of this lathe to make both ends of lure the same without having to stop and turn lure around thank u for any suggestions

[@kluremaker]

Yes, you can do that. I flip the lure simply because I like to work the cutting tool from the center to the right of the lure as I am finishing it. I just have a better feel for the cutting tool by doing it that way. Good luck,Kermett

[@Bulldogfishmaster]

Thumbs up man!

[@jackthegamer5916]

wow! is that a bass in your profile pic?

[@Bulldogfishmaster]

+jack the gamer yes 12 lb 3oz

[@jackthegamer5916]

+Bulldogfishmaster no way that thinfs frickin huge what did you catch it on?

[@Bulldogfishmaster]

+jack the gamer I believe a zoom dead ringer (June bug color).

[@itsunicornsandkaylahrainbo7118]

mr. Adams do u pre treat ur lures with any sealer the reason i ask that some people dont do it they just put 2 ton expoy on after they prime and paint the lure whats would u suggest thank u for any suggestion

[@kluremaker]

Hi James, About the only lures that I treat with a sealer are the ones that I drill thru the center for thru wire constructed lures. I use MinWax Wood Sealer in the Natural color. I submerge and let the lure soak for about 30 minutes. I wipe completely dry with I take the out. I then let hang and dry for a day before I apply the base coat white. Good luck,Kermett

[@tylerendicott311]

What size of lathe are you using

[@kluremaker]

Harbor Freight has a mini lathe on sale for $125.

[@kluremaker]

Lure making on a lathe

[@THEAMAZINGTJ]

what kind of wood is that?

[@rolandr.8328]

I heard he will pusblish it online soon, so you might want to grab Hyezmar's Woodworking Bible. Even though it's not 100% complete it has some great plans and ideas.

[@robertcornelius3514]

Nah. Stay away from that crappy book.

[@seanshields86]

What kind of wood are you using?

[@kluremaker]

Eastern red cedar

[@garzonlaperle9403]

Woodprix is a solid company with solid woodworking plans.

[@janeromnicki6598]

I recommend woodglut to every beginner and not only.

[@darnellsprmla47]

On the Stodoys site you can find many plans for this type of thing.

[@tiheenmatthews8855]

Kool look at his subs he has 1234

[@swordsman51]

this guy is definitely not a woodworker there is soo much wrong with what he is doing

[@juliantaverner4627]

Sorry, but this has got to best the best example of how NOT to use a lathe. So many things wrong, least of all you keep hitting the tail spindle with your (regular flat not a gouge) chisel which is really bad for it, not to mention really dangerous.
