Making progress on workshop upgrades and new lures.

[@fieqakim]

I thought you have a huge studio or warehouse but watching this video i really amaze with how limited the space your working with but everything is well organized and the footage made it look like inside of massive studio set up

[@zimmtex]

Nope, it's just me in my garage. Thanks for commenting and for your support!

[@bucktalesoutdoors7566]

I would say go with the tan on the Spotted Bass…. I have to say, your craftsmanship is amazing !

[@zimmtex]

Good choice and thanks for voting!

[@PENFOLD1962]

Nothing wrong with 'Organised Chaos', as long as you know where what is then why worry. Your latest pieces are looking amazing can't wait to see more of them. I can't relax in a pristine workshop I'm always worried about messing things up. Great to see you no matter what, I always end up really enjoying the video whilst I'm sat amongst major turmoil, no serious craftsmen have time to tidy up 🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣 Take care until next time👍😷👍

[@zimmtex]

So true! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@BOSN_BAITS]

Love the extra format

[@zimmtex]

Thank you for watching and letting me know!

[@FreedomFishing]

If you can achieve a gradient moss green to black at the end of the tail fin, it would look more bass like. And with silicone if its thin enough, helps make it more translucent.

[@zimmtex]

Gradients I think I can do. Thanks for your vote!

Good choice on creating this vid. Keep this type of content going!

[@zimmtex]

Great! I'm glad you like it!

[@guyhallam5023]

Love the vids,i started of my casting in resin using your techniques,its been so succesful my lures have now gone on sale in a retail tackle outlet,they wanted to promote hand crafted lures and picked mine,only problem is supplying the demand,,,obviously a hand crafted lure takes time but was hoping when you streamline your workshop maybe y9u could give some thought as to how you would go about upping the priduction rate without losing any quality issues or raising stress levels 😁 keep the creative juices flowing pard!😁👍

[@zimmtex]

Wow that's great, good for you! Since I haven't been selling lures you should take my advice with a grain of salt. But, I would start by making multiple molds so you can cast more at once. There's a lot of time used switching between tasks so if you can do several baits at once you will be more efficient with your time. Especially when painting, do all of them with the same color before washing out your brush. I would also think about minimizing hand painting and use stencils wherever possible. Just a couple of ideas for you! I'm sure some other makers have more ideas and could chime in. Keep up the great work!

What kind of airbrush would be a good starter gun? I got a cheap gun but I want to upgrade a step or two so I was wondering if you had any recommendations on a good starter airbrush

[@zimmtex]

My first airbrush was a Master off of Amazon. I still have it and just used it yesterday. I also have an Iwata Eclipse which is really great. I've got links to both of them on my website if you are interested. www.zimmtexlures.com/productlinks

[@Cavanpikefishing]

Brilliant 👍

[@zimmtex]

Thanks!

[@JonJonsOutdoors]

I need you to do a shop design for me! Man, I just can’t get my flow right!! My brain just doesn’t work that way. I have piles and boxes. 😂

[@zimmtex]

I hear ya! I'm one inch closer.

[@raymondpennington4037]

where can I find those swivel hook hangers?

[@zimmtex]

I think I may have picked these up at the tackle store. I'm using Owner micro hyper swivel-barrel type, #2, Model No. 5081-021.

[@magcolor]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@zimmtex]

Thanks!

[@turdferguson5300]

Bud I feel ya. I've kicked around the idea of starting a channel but enough content is a problem. I think KZbin will also be a problem so I've shelfed that idea. Too many negatives upfront.

[@zimmtex]

It's definately more like a journey than a destination. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@Darryl.M]

You can make a start on my workshop when you are finished.

[@zimmtex]

Ha! At this pace it'll be about 5 years!

[@JohnJonelis]

Seems to me that the solution is not to change formats, but rather, to split up your regular videos into many short ones (10-15 min).

[@zimmtex]

These will have some overlapping content as I will show whatever part of the process I'm working on. I really haven't had a lot of success with milti-part videos. But, I think I will be able to get into more detail with this new content that usually gets cut from the full build videos.

[@Straight0uttaCrofton]

my garage is my living room / =

[@zimmtex]

You work with what you've got. The cool thing is, you don't really need much to make lures. Keep grinding!
