Andy Bird - Fishing Lure

My family loves to fish so I thought it would be cool to make my own fishing lure! Andy Bird Builds is all about making money with your CNC machine and in this project I show you how to take that passion and turn it into profit. Of course if your CNC is strictly a hobby, you can simply make this project just for the fun of it too!

What if I told you that you can make this fishing lure in 30 minutes and sell it for 500% markup?

Seems too good to be true? Stick around and I’ll show you how I made it, how to cost and price it for profit, and my selling strategy I’d use. You can watch the video here.

I used a two part, 3D, two-sided machining process. I created the vector outlines, used the create rounded shape tool to create the model, refined the model with the sculpting tool, and created a really cool texture by creating a component from a bitmap. I have limited experience doing these types of projects and honestly, it was a lot easier than I thought!
