I ordered my set of 4 this morning. I have been looking for some planer boards, these look compact easy to store and are about the same price as 2 of the more bulky style planer boards. Besides Made In The USA. and money back guarantee. The price has dropped from what is stated in this quote they are now $38.50 for 4 DualFins.

You need a 1/4" thick piece of pine or cedar, some outdoor wood glue, a WD40 spray tube and a toothpick or a split-shot for slip-rigging. You'll need a scroll saw and a drill. Put on a coat of water proof paint or deck sealer by spray or brush. I made my first one in about 40 minutes.





You can print the pattern to scale and paste it on the board (with the grain) and cut with a scroll saw. Drill the hole to press fit in a piece of WD40 tubing.

If you want to make a large size you can print the pattern twice scale and use 1/2" pine.

I have a patent and make some out of plastic called the BulletBobber in 4 sizes 2", 2.5", 3" and 4". I also have some 6" long called the DualFin made out of a tough foam that only weigh 1 ounce. The DualFin is a clip-on in-line planer board where as the line needs to be threaded thru the BulletBobber. It is OK to make them for personal use or to give away as gifts but please don't sell them - it is only fair considering what I have put into it. But giving out plans to make them during hard times is only fair too. I know some folks must fish to eat - been there done that - and could be there again!

I am running a special thru Fathers Day - 4 DualFins for $50 and free shipping!
