Here are a few pics of the walleye I built back in 2017. I used 16 gauge stainless steel. Took me over 700 hrs to build, sand and polish. Knowing what I learned from that project, helped a lot in understanding what worked and didn't work using the tools I had at the time, and it opened my eyes to what equipment I needed to acquire, to make shapes easier with a lot less time involved. Being able to shrink and stretch stainless was one of my hardest obstacles, before acquiring the 14 gauge Baileigh shrinker/stretcher.
