This tool is especially useful for finishing off metal molds. When whittling or shaping wooden plugs or other lures by hand you find a set of wood-carving tools very useful. These have small chisel type blades which can be used to cut grooves, cups, holes, and similar indentations. The gouges which are part of these tools are especially useful for this work. Then there are various materials such as wood, metal, paints, lacquers, varnishes, hooks, screw eyes, wire, and other fishing lure parts which you will need.
