Few pictures of this boat I am cleaning up and detailing for Mike. I did finish wet sanding and washing this boat yesterday. Was later yesterday evening when I got it put in my shop. Got to head to the VA in just a little bit to visit and eat lunch with my father but wanted to get a little bit of this boat buffed before I leave. Just got done buffing the top cap on the passenger side. Will try to get the drivers side down when I get home later this afternoon. This Ole Kitty is starting to PURRRR again. Going to really POP when I polish it !!

Had another boat come in yesterday to detail. After spending yesterday evening and this morning on my back cleaning 4 years worth of lake scum off the bottom of this boat. I am now done wet sanding the top cap. Every scratch and smudge mark that would come off the top cap with a light sanding has been taken off. Going to take a little break and then do the sides of this boat. Hoping to finish cleaning and wet sanding today so that I can put this boat in my shop this evening or tomorrow to start buffing and polishing !!

Little project I knocked out this weekend for a good friend of mine. Poured him up 20 darter head jigs on 1/8 oz with a 1/0 hook for crappie fishing and poured him up 20 each in 1/4 and 3/8 oz with a 4/0 hook for throwing some small swim baits with. Suppose to swing by later today or tomorrow to pick them all up.

Back working on another order for Tackle Warehouse. Got 54 packs of Senko Flash Rigs to do on this order for them. Build a crap load of these every year for them. Without looking at the numbers, bet I sell them close to a 1000 packs of these every year to them. Maybe a little more than that. Do them in Gold and Nickel Willow and also Gold and Nickel Colorado Blades. Will have to excuse the wooden floor. Just finished remodeling this room and in the middle of doing another room. Soon as I finish it, will have some carpet laid in both rooms.

Been a while sense I built any of these. Had a friend and customer call me from Kentucky this morning right before I was leaving to cut wood and ordered these. Also invited me to come stay with him to do a little deer hunting on his family farm. Sure wish I was in a position to take him up on that offer. Fixing to epoxy the eyes on them and will get them built tomorrow so that I can ship them to him on Wednesday. All of these are getting single nickel blades.

Been a busy week trying to get this order completed for Tackle Warehouse so that I could free up my weekend. Will get it all boxed up later this afternoon when I get home from visiting, eating lunch and playing BINGO with my father down at the VA.

I got another email from BASS yesterday. Looks like the article they were going to do earlier this year featuring 1 of the baits I build and sell on my website and to Tackle Warehouse got pushed back a few months. The email I got said they were going to do the article in the October or December magazine and they are wanting me to send samples of the bait to them. Told them I would either send them tomorrow or Saturday. Soon as I get a link and a copy of the article, I will share it with everybody here on Face Book.

Thanks
