    That is so cool! Very nicely done, I'm a woodworker myself. There's a certain satisfaction that comes from making something out of nothing! I make beautiful things out of pallet wood! Thanks for sharing!

    That's how they would fish in the early 20th century, and it worked. I recommend modern fisherman try it!

    I have used corks in the pass but all I did was to use a sewing needle and put it threw the center of the cork and after gong threw the cork simply pull the line from the needle... and you got a float. thanks very nice ...

    Its great idea i stumbled onto old tackle box with float like this and used a lurh genson flatfish behind it so you can stay on the stike zone or skirt the edge of the themocline parallel to the shore along the drop off floats a great and this is great way to make your own bobbers thanks so much

    Great idea! Great DIY tools! Going to make the lathe ASAP, perfect for my needs. I made some using coffee swizzle sticks for pass thru bobbers. Thought...maybe seal secure the thread w/Super Glue before painting. Purely for strength. No, they didn't look well... they look great! THANKS!

    I have done much the same with bamboo skewers and balsa wood, but use small o-rings to attach the bobber to the line.

  • @BlackWarriorLures
    @BlackWarriorLures 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Good work! It's amazing how such a simple device has so many ways to individualize it. This is pretty much how bobbers a were made 100 years ago. I've always made mine super functional with long 18 inch dowels to telegraph anything that touches it.
    If anyone is pressed for time, just skip the shaping, but shaping gives a more custom look. Leaving the cork in base configuration makes for a more rustic look.
    I used to use boat builder's epoxy on mine, but it's too much trouble. Spar varnish is right on. Nice drying rack. Would have never thought of clothes pins.
    My floats are so long I could never dip them, but I think filling a 1 inch * 20 inch long PVC pipe full of varnish would do the trick. I think that's how bamboo fly rod builder do it.

    • @Makify1
      @Makify1  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Wow, thanks for the compliment! Your videos were a huge inspiration for these bobbers.

      The Titebond II works very well. Cheaper that boat builder's epoxy. This will help me get more floats out faster.

    I've been cleaning a local river and found a bunch of corks washed up on shore and now I'm gunna use this vid and make some bobbers hopefully. Found a fishing line and a hook too so I was thinking about crafting a pole and a bobber from just stuff I find on shore.

    When I was a young lad I would just tie on a piece of corncob. No time involved and usually free. And quite stealth it hides in with the rubbish.

  • @watermelongrin
    @watermelongrin 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I made some floats last year using your method. I wanted to make some more this year and forgot. I turn mine on a Jet mini lathe. I Super Glued my dowel in place and filled the cavities with SG. After turning, I sealed the cork with SG. It is time costly, but what the heck, I have a bobber that is just as good if not better than the number one selling cork float. If I loose it, no big deal. I just make another one. My friends are always asking where I buy these floats. When I tell them I make them, they say, "NO way!" On another note. If someone want to use a tube and plan to dip them. they need to plug the openings with modeling clay, so the dip will not go inside the tube. I do this with my brass tubes when gluing them for making pens.
