I once asked Mike Fixter why no two of his plugs are exactly the same in dimension. He said (and I paraphrasing here) that for him, the fun of building was in creating each piece differently. He said that if they were all the same, he'd quickly lose interest. I then asked him how he can be sure a particular piece will swim properly. The answer - you guessed it - he test swims each & every one.
