Making wobblers.

Doing wobblies with their own hands is the same as the sculptor doing his sculpture. You just need to remove the excess from the workpiece that would show everyone that inside is hiding.

In general, the production of wobblers, I started relatively recently only a couple of years, but it has already gone a long way with big barriers to working copies. I make wobblers from wood, namely from a lime tree. It is lightweight, soft and dense material. In addition, I like working with wood. I learned a lot of literature on making "pinworms" and took the most necessary, in my opinion, to its designs. My way has already safely reached the manufacture of deep-water wobblers.

I want to share experience as I actually do it.
The very first thing I start with, it's natural to estimate the size of a piece of wood. I use any lime slice that I get, it's a board, toli it's a little bit, in general, that is. I cut out a rectangle, so it's easier then to sketch the dimensions. Further on the workpiece I draw the desired "pinworm" (Photo 1).

For further convenience, I immediately cut the hole along for the wire frame of the loops (Photo 2).

Then I take, like a true "Papa Carlo", a knife in the handles and forward to the processing. The main tool I have is a slanting knife for wood carving and a simple knife. I have been working with wood for a long time, so I do not care what to cut, the main condition is that the knife is sharp. I already managed to cut with a clerical retractable knife. And that, sharp, and that's enough. I process gradually removing the corners and planes (Photo 3).

In general, it turns out for example such an option as depicted in Photos 4, 5, 6.

Caracas make of stainless wire. I bend the pliers as seen in Photo 7.

Then I smear the propyl and the frame with epoxy glue and paste it. I pour propyl epoxy to the brim to match the main body (Photo 8).

As practice has shown, it is better to use epoxy with a filler for example from the same sawdust, or you can add lead shavings instead of lead inserts for balancing. Then I clean it all with an emery and prepare it for painting.

I put a layer of the main paint, usually light colors - white or yellow. I use either ordinary watercolor or paint in compressed air cylinders (Photo 9-10).

Painted, dried, put the name of our "drill"? (Photo 11-14) and then varnished several layers.

Here, in principle, there are such voblochki (Photo 15-16).

Well, in principle, that's all. Oh, yes, these pikes are caught by my self-made wobblers.
