air gun ant 1,666 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 I decided I needed a lure machine for the lurcher pup so had look online and they are silly money to buy and I decided I couldn't be arsed with the usual starter motor and heavy car battery things, and I'm terrible with electricity lol so I decided I needed to think outside the box. A few days later I was cutting the grass when my old inherited electric strimmer packed in and I thought "f*ck it I need a peterol one! Lol then the penny dropped! I could buy a new strimmer, finish cutting the grass and then Frankenstein it into a lure machine! It was actually really pretty simple and I now have a variable speed, fully portable lure machine that can be turned back in to a strimmer in 5 mins I just turned a wooden spool on the lathe and drilled it for the shaft of the strimmer, made a guide from a couple of old bits of angle and loaded it with 30lb fishing line lol made a lure from some string and it works a treat turned a couple of pegs to get some turns in for the dogs and I'm off to try it later. Had a Quik spin on the back street and it's deffo fast enough! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

air gun ant 1,666 Posted June 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Well that worked even better than I expected! I did get a video but in not sure how to post it? And some how the actual running is in slow-mo? How do I get rid of that? iPhone 6? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxy 617 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Looks a tidy job mate. Not sure about the slow mo. Must be a setting you've not put in on your phone? you may have to upload it to photo bucket or you tube then post the link. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm happy with the attempt lol I'm only feathering the trigger but W O T would test any dog lol mine couldn't decide wether to chase it or piss on it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
