Thumbs up It's Good

To see some definite signs of life in here. Starting to hear the voices and dreams the plug dreams at night again,too. Last plug building season was a relative dud for me , but this year I feel revitalized, rareing to go. Keep the quizzes coming, it reminds me of how my teachers could always tell who wrote the nasty note by the handwriting. You guys have great eyes. Let's make this a great wood spinning season!

Yes last year was my worst plug building year as i turned some bodies and never finished them just gave them away as they were.i already started turning and already have some ready to be painted as i seem to have the spark back and firing on all cylinders again.

I'll take some more naked bottle darters

I will never get to that style this year and if i did it would not be fun or relaxing rushing thru it.

I have not turned a plug since September '08. I did make up a bunch though. I go through them a few at a time and finish them up. Need to get back into it.
