Either that or cut the ends off just leaving the plug blank and no extra

Yes I do all the time ... just showing you can leave it on ...an odd shape plug is rocky on the v block for lip slot .... so I might just cut it a cylinder at largest dim. ,, orientate and put it back on the lathe to finish .. just showing all has to be round .. any square and it won't work ... know yous knew that .. ofcourse its alot easier with a plug without a lip slot .. still only 2 jiggs .. I don't know how to do this with handcarves .. don't think its possible . |

Thanks ED as usual someone is thinking here. I just last week hydro'ed about 20 goo goo's as I always do since you posted this finding a year or so ago. Pretty important step in a large unweighted plug I think so I do it to all of em.
