How to make a doll with your own hands

Today you can buy in the store almost anything your heart desires. This can not fail to please the avid fishermen, who always need a lot of different devices for fishing. However, with increasing experience, most anglers begin to prefer to create fishing gear for themselves. Below is an example of how you can make a doll with your own hands and save money.

Necessary materials

To make a doll, you need the following materials: a cushion (2 pieces of 29 mm), a swivel (the number depends on the number of fasteners), a sleeve (2 pieces per clasp), a ring (1 piece), a carabiner (1 piece), a nylon cord , Wire (stainless steel). All of the above materials can be purchased at any nearby store, however, their variety can be confusing, and making a Cucana with your own hands will not be a pleasure, but a flour. Therefore, it is necessary to roughly characterize the materials, the necessary sizes and components.

The kapron cord should be braided and not twisted at all, its diameter should be four millimeters, and the required length depends on the conditions and specificity of the catch. It should be mentioned that seven or eight meters are used, no more. If fishing takes place where there are no high and large waves, then three and a half meters of cord is enough.

The carbine must be of stainless steel. The stronger, the better. It is better to take medium sizes, so that they can be reliably secured to the bush by a bush, a reed, a peg on the shore or the side of a boat.

You can buy the koushi or do it yourself. They can be made from a copper tube, the diameter of which is from four to five millimeters, and the length is from thirty to forty millimeters. If you cut along such a tube and bend as necessary, then there will be two full-fledged caish.

A swivel is a very important element in order to make a doll with your own hands. It should be very strong, its length should be forty millimeters, the ears of the swivel should be large enough for them to slide easily over the nylon cord. It should also be noted that the middle ear needs to be bitten off.

The bushing is also an indispensable element, with its help the clasps are spread in opposite directions. The bushing must be twenty millimeters long and twelve millimeters in diameter. Usually they are made of fiberglass, ebonite. These sleeves are reliable enough and slide well over the cord.

Rings are made of wire, the same as fasteners, the diameter of each ring is usually eight to ten millimeters. After the rings are installed, they need to be processed by soldering the joints. In the event that the ears of the swivels are too small and do not slide freely over the nylon cord, then the rings will be needed more.

Wire should be selected stainless steel, a diameter of two to two and a half millimeters. Do not use an old wire, as it will not have such a characteristic as elasticity. It is necessary to choose a wire of medium elasticity. The best option for making a doll with your own hands is wire for argon welding semiautomatic devices. It will take about five meters.

Manufacture of fasteners with own hands

In order to make fasteners, you need to take a piece of wire, the length of which is 65 cm. From one end of the wire to measure 23 cm, this will be the point of bending. After this, we tighten the rod with a vice and wrap it with a 10 mm wire. Then the ends in the opposite direction are bent to make a ring of the right shape.

Next, take the short end and heat it on the gas, then put on the swivel and wind the turn to the turn a long end - enough two turns. After completing this step, you need to straighten the short end along the long end. The next thing you need to do to make a doll with your own hands is to measure 55 mm from the edge of the ring and make two tight turns around the long end short again. As a result, it should come out so that the short end is perpendicular to the plane of the ring.

In order to form a loop, the short end of the wire must be folded in the opposite direction with the help of round-nosed pliers, the loop height should not exceed 40 mm, the inner loop must be of the necessary size so that a wire can pass through it. After that, the short end that remained, you need to make a few more turns around the long end, this is necessary for rigid fixation. A piece that has remained superfluous, is cut off and processed by the file. The long end is leveled and with it a clasp is formed. Everything, the clasp is ready, and the kukan with his own hands is also almost ready.

Collecting the Cucana ourselves

Having the above materials, and also making fasteners, it remains only to finish the work and rejoice at the result. First of all, you need to pass the end of the fastener through the loop, then you must hook the hook directly behind the ring. When the hook is hooked - we have a slammed trap.

The next step is to collect the lower node of the Cucun. Given that it is the lower node that carries the main load, it must be made very durable. To do this, attach the lower (first) clasp to the loop, which was made with the help of a thimble and cord. Through the ring we connect the swivel of the fastener with a loop. After this, using a pair of pliers, we squeeze the ring, and the resulting joint qualitatively soldered. The cord is sewn with the help of braids.

Many anglers recommend additionally winding the turn to the turn of the cord after it is sewn. Having done the above, it is necessary to thread several bushings on the cord, then clasp, etc. It is recommended to put from seven to eight buckles, this is enough. At least not more than ten.

Having thus assembled the lower node of the Cucumber, proceed to harvest the upper node. It is collected according to the same principle as the lower one. Only here instead of fasteners in a loop a carbine is used. Now you know how to make a doll with your own hands. In the end, you should get an interesting design, as in the picture.
