First things first: Welcome aboard! It's great to have you here. I know that many of us keenly appreciate reading first-person, "I was there" content, especially when it's related to a builder from decades ago who was respected by so many. As Bob's son, however, you bring a level of intimacy that we very rarely witness (I'm talkin' just this side of The Unicorn Ranch). Thank you for jumping in and commenting so freely. On to Blueburst: I don't know what that pattern looks like, so I can't say that I've ever seen it or not. Is the plug that Looney Tunes shared in pics 3-5 on Nov. 19th an example of Blueburst? If not, does it appear on any of the plugs shown on the three salesman's display boards that tvan shared on December 17th? Thanks for your help.

Q's about building a spinner/drying rack
Southcoastphil replied to Livefreeordie's topic in Lure Building
I've scavenged a couple of those from free* MWs which I plan to deploy in a spinner/dryer. Although I hadn't considered @Punch63's approach until seeing it in this thread, I see several benefits--in addition to the increased capacity already noted--over the horizontally-arranged, enclosed design I'd envisioned. Open (i.e., not enclosed) design looks like it would be a lot easier to both attach plugs for drying and apply epoxy (for those who like applying it while plugs are already in the spinner). Attaching the plug holders directly onto the axle seems much simpler than attaching discs at each end, to which the hooks and/or springs are then attached. For dust protection and temperature control issues, I'll still need an enclosure, so I'm now thinking of a two-piece dryer/spinner: Open base (probably plywood) for the motor, axle and vertical plug holders. Separate, five-sided, enclosure with light bulb socket(s)** and clear front panel that can be lowered onto the base from above and secured to the base. Clear front panel c/b hinged or simply slide into grooves, from above or from the side. I can see adding a pair of handles to facilitate moving the whole thing. If it's large enough, I could use the metal enclosure from a MW for three of the sides. If not, I could enlarge it by adding panels from other MW enclosures. The MW cabinets already have holes that are tapped to accept various sizes of screws and/or machine threads, many of which are on tabs or lips at right angles to the panels, so attaching other pieces to them shouldn't be very difficult. For the holders, I might simply cut strips from the MW cabinets, drill them and bend the ends up. The springiness of that metal might be enough to hold the plugs in place with just hooks of various lengths. Making those bends using a mandrel (maybe 1/2" or 3/4"?) might help to not fatigue the metal as much, compared to making sharp right angle bends. Attaching them to the axle might be as simple as sandwiching the axle with a pair of them that's bolted together, back-to-back. * Free MWs: I posted an ad on my local Free Stuff FB page for used MWs and toaster ovens and had more than enough offers within two days. ** @Antagonizer, what size bulb are you using? Does one bulb heat everything pretty evenly or would you suggest using two, lower-wattage, bulbs? -
sure does
