New Plugs
Here is a preview of my first wooden plugs. I'm really gettin obsessed with this hobby. If I don't find some different blanks soon I may have to buy a lathe. After listenen to youz guys i get the impression that I'm in the early stages of a terribly debilitating addiction. Whats the cure?  |

Nice plugs for a first time  That top popper is gonna catch
Yeah, I thought they were kidding when they told me about how much trouble I was in, They are NOT kidding. They said I would be missing meals, constantly covered in sawdust, paint build up on my fingers, hanging out in fabric and craft stores. Then theres the uncontrolable urge to got look at your finished plugs at 2am, just to see how their drying. You'll hear yourself one day saying "Honey...are you finished using these fishnet stockings?"  Then theres the point where you cant drive down the road on trash day without wondering if those chairs are made out of maple
Have a ball, your off to a good start. Again, nice plugs. |

Now, that I ordered 100 each nose,belly and tail grommets, I guess I'll need a lot more blanks. Anybody know where I can get some of the other styles, darters, pikies, etc., or do I need to buy a lathe.  |

In keeping with the spirit of the holidays I might be able to hook you up with a few darter blanks. PM me your address.

I thought there was no Cure....all you can do is control the symptoms. |
