ProfessorM Uncle Remus iTrader: (0) Join Date: Mar 2003 Location: Lakeville Ma. Posts: 14,773	I am in the opposite camp. I only turn with a duplicator. I make my patterns first then I turn them. I adjust my patterns to what I want the plug to look like. I have never turned a plug with hand tools in my life. I got plenty of hand tools just never interested me to use them. I also have been running lathes for 30 yeas so I don't find anything really fun about turning. I just want it off the lathe and on to the other, fun, aspects. Just want to let you know there are many ways to make plugs and I am glad to hear many find turning to be fun. Keep at it and always keep it fun.
