    Finally built a drying wheel...

    Sorry for the bad pic.. It's a 2 rpm rotisserie gill motor, square shaft hammered into a round hole through 2X4, cut square. Velcro on the wood and soft side velcro on the hobby knife.

    This allows me to hold, paint, clear coat and just stick it on the wheel as I go.

    Looks good Mike
    I built a small one and boxed it in to keep dirt out,I used a cheap 4rpm motor


    I made a coupling out of 1/2 rod drilled and tapped it, then welded some 1/4" rod, it will hold 8 baits or 4 large baits using alligator clips epoxied on the arms(and taped)

    I like the boxed idea. I just wanted a way to coat the lure and hurry it to the dryer. Having mine open allows me to stick it on in a second or two. I see that you could easily add a small light bulb in you box to hurry the drying time. I might just do some more to mine... I'm just playing around...

    I think that the Exacto kives at wal-mart in the craft section are better for $2.29...
