Lure machine almost complete (need a little advise)

[ihatealiens 0]

Below are a few pictures of my almost completed lure machine but there 1 thing missing, the spool that holds the line! just wondering if anyone has any ideas what i could use as a spool and how to fit it to the shaft?

 

i also got to add a switch but im gonna use a scalextric controller for that!

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for any help

Alright mate. I have a lure machine of my own and I am willing to email some pictures through to you. Just abit of advice. do you think that the wood is strong enough. The spook spins bloody fast.

i race dogs mate,,,,last one lasted 25 years,,,

 

i must addmit looks rough,,,but it works,,,

 

 

one at our club,,,i think it was a blacksmith job,,look,s better,,,,both lures been used at club,,,,( as long as there secure,,,and starter,s end is bang in the middle off spool,,thats the real important part,,,or lure will vibrate too much,,,

i dont think the wood is strong enough mate but a good job either way i'd of used 12mm ply and treated it that wood will soke up water. be carfull it dont break up in your face or something that wood is very splintery

Good job on the wooden frame but as said it wont be strong enough mate. Do you not no any welders. good job all the same. you can use a big extention lead spool they hold well

Just out of interest,

How do you stop your dog from running into the lure lads?

(so the lure machine is sitting at side )---

 

u build a spindle,,,,usally use the centre off a bike wheel,(i think thats called a spindle also ?),,attach it to metal pin,,,

 

or go for cheaper option,,,use pegg with circler head (decent size as it takes abit off strain and need to be well pegged into ground),,,put string threw there,,,,and have couple off smaller ones coming off the spool,,,,helps to feed string on spool,,,save,s alot off tangling

 

if unable to use a spindle,,,,people just make sure they stop lure,,,plenty off time before lure machine,

 

best thing if there,s a track near u,,,best going along to have a look at their,s,,,,they come in all shapes and sizes but the princable is the same,,

where did u get the motor what car is it from

 

 

the starter motor,,has to be a certain type,,,,,( now here,s one for the mahnic,s on here,,,cause i cant remember which is which,,,,,non pre incanged?? starter or pre incanged ???

 

mine was out an old landrover,,,easyier to fix on to spool,,,,( not sure if both types ,,,nowadays can be fixed on to spool?,,we just used old type off starter from older cars e,t,c,,,cause thats the way we did our 1st one

 

hope that helps,,,,guys,,,,they dont cost much to build,,,,dearest part if u have to buy it new is the battery,,,and off course the battary charger if u dont have one,,,,few years back starter i think cost £15,,,i think

Heres a cuple of lures which we use with the dogs.. We use pre ingaged starter motors from the old metero, never use a battery just connect straight on to the car with the leads. Found the best spools are the ones which are used around the wire fences of sheep fields.

 

Good luck with yours
