Green hornet
« on: Oct 02, 2019, 09:55 PM »
Have looked all over this site, and didn't see what I was looking for, but was wondering if anyone has a pattern for a green hornet handle and if they'd be willing to mail a copy of it? Thanks in advance.

I have a few different patterns of green hornets, I just have to find them. PM me your mailing address. I'll send you a pattern when I dig them up.

I got one as a gift a few years back from a guy in or near Wabasha on eBay. The "Green Hornet" has been a staple school shop project for decades I guess. I contacted him to see if I could buy just the unfinished handles and he did make me a deal. My plan is to do one with a bamboo blank just like the film version. The other two will become tip-down rods If I get to it this year I'll post pics.
To fish or not to fish? That's a stupid question!

I used to make them for the Mrs to sell on flea-bay. They used to sell out in no time and making them was kind of like a second job. Just sketch it out on some heavy construction paper, I think it was like 14" or so. This was an old high school woodshop project so it doesn't need to be perfect. as long as it fits in the hand and the rod section is in good, it'll be fine. I found that getting the colors right was the hardest part!

Spider1, beautiful job on them Green Hornets. I agree with you, getting the colors is the hardest part for sure.

I kind of like this guy's work. It's "Diamond Custom Rods". He's got a page on Facebook. He has some pretty cool stuff.

I really like those!  Not really a “traditional Green Hornet”, but very cool!

What do those Diamond Customs set you back if you don't mind me asking? Pretty sweet looking rods.

Does anyone have a pattern for this? Looking to make some but everytime I draw up a design, it doesn't look right! Either a design you have on file you can send via email or a paper design you can make a copy and mail it to me. Please and thank you! ;D ;D ;D

Here's a link to his site. I don't know him or anything just thought they looked good. They aren't priced for the faint at heart!
