    Franco, I'm a maker, therefore every test, mistake and insight you may give us it's a highly valuable piece of information.
    Thank you.

    I specifically subscribed to this channel because I learn things here that are edited out elsewhere. Love it. Also love the science and math, even though I usually avoid it whenever I can.

    Leave the mistakes in we make them, it is good to see you make them also. Leave the nerdy stuff in also. I have been building wooden lures for about ten years but still learn from your channel.

    I agree, keep the trial/error experiments in as we are always wiser after the event. Excellent video Franco

    Knowing the problems that can arise helps to learn not only what to do , but also what not to do. Most videos don’t show any problems or failures, so you don’t have any idea of what could definitely go wrong, or what you can do to correct it. Having some engineering background, curiosity about how things work, and a love to build them myself makes your videos so much more informative and enjoyable to watch. I admire your desire and ability to explain your thoughts and calculations in the process of building lures. Thanks for not being afraid to show the world you are human; keep up the great work.

      Thank you so much for your comments.. I really enjoy all the experimentation and sometimes the failures are just as fun as the successes. It's great to hear that others are getting something out of my videos. Cheers.

    Keep the killer videos coming Franco, love them! And definitely keep the goof ups included. We all learn from our mistakes, and watching yours help reduce the learning curve. Can't wait to see how they swim.

    Leave the goof ups in. Great learning tool and the engineering approach of troubleshooting is very relatable! Awesome showing that you can do good plastic swimbaits without $1,000's of molds and injectors!

  • @Neubs_Fishing
    @Neubs_Fishing 2 роки тому +3

    Love the videos! I’ve really learned a lot from you over the years. I say leave the mistakes/trials in. It helps everyone. If someone doesn’t want to watch that they can fast forward through it I guess.
    Also the swimbaits remind me of shrimp with the big bulgy black eyes like that. You could probably modify the last toothbrush to make a shrimp lure for inshore fishing pretty easy.

  • @hankvana2149

    Great stuff Franco! Please include ALL the details, the math, the nerdy bits, the successes and the fails in your videos! The way you analyze and test the problem is xcellent - thanks for sharing that. I used to make a mold-release when I was doing a lot of plaster casting that you might want to try. It was made from a bar of yellow laundry soap (think the brand was "Sunlight") melted in a double-boiler with a tablespoon of cooking oil and a bit of water. The mixture is firm (like butter from the refrigerator) when set. The mold-release is applied by working the surface with a soft damp brush and painting the foam on to the surfaces to be protected. The foam dries to a thin film that allowed good detail and let the mold halfs and the pattern separate easily. It worked much better than Vaseline with plaster and wood, don't know how it would work with silicone. Stored in a plastic container with a lid (like an old margarine tub), the mold-release keeps forever.

    I have to agree with the folks saying they like the errors and fails. I have an idea for a lure nobody sells that would catch fish from the surf out to pelagics offshore. I think soft plastic would be best and I tried a couple times to make molds but failed. I need the right blank to start with, that's my biggest hangup now. So I appreciate seeing your problems because I might avoid my own. So thanks for the lessons!

    I have been waiting for this video. So happy it finally hit. And I know it hasn’t been that long since the first. But I don’t do well with things left undone lol. Also. I love how the video is put together. I forgot we were making toothbrush swim baits and all in on the experiment. Great job. Can’t wait to see how it does in the water and see some fish caught on it

  • @AAE-cg1il
    @AAE-cg1il 2 роки тому +1

    From the comments so far (50) it's unanimous, keep the mistakes, foul ups, side experiments and materials testing. The bloopers are pretty funny as well.

    Hippy vomit clay - is that a trade secret Franco?
    I like to "paint" with the mica right on the silicone mold before pouring.

  • @stripermanly
    @stripermanly 2 роки тому +1

    I purchased some of that silicone to try. Before pouring my first mold, I was wondering if you figured out what type of clay to use to avoid the gooey contact area from the clay you used. Was the first time I had heard there are different types of clay that need to be used

    How about making a fail video? What misstakes that can come, when they come how to correct them. When is a misstake to much and just start over.
    Im gona TRY to make a lure with a couple of your ideas in it. But in the back of my head its "what if after 3 days making the lure such and such happens" so i postpone the start... realy enoying 🤦‍♂️ great film again
