Using a router on a small piece of wood such as a lure blank can be tricky. What I did was nail the lure Rounding Over The Edges of the Lure blanks to my workbench using some fine wire panel Blanks pins to stop them from moving around during the routing process and used two pieces of wood the At this stage I had intended to use a rasp and file to round over the edges of the lures so I could show you same thickness as the lure blanks positioned either side of the lure blanks to support the router and prehow to do this by hand, however a combination of laziness, lack of time and the fact that I had a router vent it from wobbling. After doing the first side of set up in the workshop with a rounding over bit in use each blank I prised them off the workbench, removed on another project led to the lure blanks getting their the panel pins, turned them over and nailed them back onto the work bench making sure to nail through edges rounded off using the router. the same holes to minimise damage to the lure blank. The tiny holes left by the fine wire panel pins can easily be filled later.
